How do I change the text in TextLabel to a variable?

Asked 436 views1 answers

So, I would actually call myself experienced in Lua. However, I somehow never took the time to learn how to change TextLabel text to a Variable. ( Just to let you know, I do know how to change TextLabel text itself) I thought it would be something like...

examplevariable = 100

textlabel.Text = "examplevariable"

However, it's not. It just changes it to "examplevariable". How would one do this?

Hey OrcaTheFish,

The solution to your question is not one to be much complicated so, this answer should not be long. Alright, so a Gui's text is a String, now you don't need to worry much about making your text a String because every time you set a number as the Text in a Gui it auto-matically converts to a String. If you don't believe me you can get a Gui's text and use the type() method to check if it's a String or a Number. Anyways, now that we're past that, time to get into setting a Gui's text to a variable you might have. You simply set a value for the variable and then you set the Text property of the Gui Object equal to the variable. Below is a personal example of this.

####Personal Example

local var = 100;

gui_object.Text = var;

###Well, as you can see from the method above, it's really as simple as that.

##I give you the best of my regards and live a life you can be proud of. I'll cya next time.

Thanks, I always like to answer a question formally so that's why it's long.
