how to check if a property is there?
I need to check if Text is a value, like
1 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetDescendants()) do |
2 | if v.Text then |
3 | print("text property is here!") |
4 | end |
5 | end |
but actually works.

1 | local foundText = false |
2 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetDescendants()) do |
3 | if v.Text ~= nil or v.Text ~= "" then |
4 | foundText = true |
5 | print("Text property has a value of: "..v.Text) |
6 | end |
7 | end |

If you only needed it for the Text property specifically, you could check if the instance was something that has a Text property (TextLabel,TextBox,TextButton) before referring to the property:
1 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetDescendants()) do |
2 | if v:IsA("TextLabel") or v:IsA("TextBox") or v:IsA("TextButton") then |
3 | print("text property is here!") |
4 | end |
5 | end |
However, if you are using this to try and alter GUIs through a server script, it will not work. Instead, you might need to use FireAllClients() with a RemoteEvent, and check if it has the Text property in a LocalScript.
