Text not changing after setting values?

Ok, So I self-debugged it and it does change the value, BUT not the text. It is getting a little annoying so I just came here to ask a question about it.

01local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local sp = Instance.new("IntValue")
03sp.Value = 100
04plr.PlayerGui.MainUI.Display.SprintPower.Text = "Sprint Power: " ..sp.Value
05sp.Parent = plr
06while true do
07wait()
08function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
09    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
10local character = plr.Character
11if character then
12    local hum = character:WaitForChild"Humanoid"
13    if hum then
14        hum.WalkSpeed = 26
15    end
16else
17print("no character")
18end
19            sp.Value = 100
20            wait(1)
21            sp.Value = 50
22            wait(10)
23            sp.Value = 0
24            if sp.Value == 0 then
25                plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
26            end
27    end
28end

31function onKeyPressEnd(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
32local character = plr.Character
33if character then
34    local hum = character:WaitForChild"Humanoid"
35    if hum then
36        hum.WalkSpeed = 16
37    end
38else

If anyone knows the error please answer this! :)

First off I'd put the "Sprint Power" .. sp.Value in brackets, I don't know if this will change anything but it usually helps in telling the computer what to change the text to. Second, make sure you use a local script when calling on "Local Player", because it will substitute the player for nil unless it's in a local script. EnderGamer358 79 — 7y

Try this, this happened to me while making a gui for my place, I'm pretty sure it's because the script gets the sp value when it fires, and doesn't re-check when it changes, the solution was adding an extra function to detect when the value changes and update the text.

01local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local sp = Instance.new("IntValue")
03sp.Value = 100
04plr.PlayerGui.MainUI.Display.SprintPower.Text = "Sprint Power: " ..sp.Value
05sp.Parent = plr
06 
07while true do
08wait()
09function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
10    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
11local character = plr.Character
12if character then
13    local hum = character:WaitForChild"Humanoid"
14    if hum then
15        hum.WalkSpeed = 26
16    end
17else
18print("no character")
19end
20            sp.Value = 100
21            wait(1)
22            sp.Value = 50
23            wait(10)
24            sp.Value = 0
25            if sp.Value == 0 then
26                plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
27            end
28    end
29end

31game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
32function onKeyPressEnd(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
33local character = plr.Character
34if character then
35    local hum = character:WaitForChild"Humanoid"
36    if hum then
37        hum.WalkSpeed = 16
38    end
39else
40print("no character")
41end
42            sp.Value = 50
43            wait(1)
44            sp.Value = 100
