How do I output the value of a variable in textlabel?

Asked 190 views1 answers

Google translator, sorry

local value = workspace.PlayerValues.BrownMaterial.Value

while true do 
	game.StarterGui.HudGui.MainFrame.PlayerStats.BrownMaterial.Text = value
	wait()
end

I showed the value of a variable, everything is OK, but if it changes, the text of the textlabel remains the same

The StarterGui holds GUIs to be later copied and given to players when they spawn.

There is no point in your scripts changing its contents.

You should use a LocalScript and modify the current player's GUI:

-- I assume that this script is a child of "HudGui":

local value = workspace.PlayerValues.BrownMaterial.Value

while true do
	script.Parent.MainFrame.PlayerStats.BrownMaterial.Text = value
	wait()
end

However, you never "refresh" value -- the script saves the value that it was when it sets value = .......

You need to grab value again in each iteration of the while loop if you want to show the "live" value:


while true do
	local value = workspace.PlayerValues.BrownMaterial.Value
	script.Parent.MainFrame.PlayerStats.BrownMaterial.Text = value
	wait()
end
