How do I make a game shout script, I can activate the shout but text doesn't change?

Asked 177 views1 answers

So the box and all shows but the text does not change. I use a text button to activate the shout and a text box on the gui to create a shout. 

local Text = script.Parent.Shout.Shout.Text
local Button = script.Parent.ShoutBox.TextButton
local SText = script.Parent.ShoutBox.TextBox.Text
local Frame = script.Parent.Shout

Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	script.Parent.Shout.Shout.TextScaled = true
	Frame.Visible = true
	Text = SText
	wait(5)
	Frame.Visible = false
	script.Parent.Shout.Shout.TextScaled = false
end)

SText.Text?

Look at the local things at the start they tell you what Text and SText are

You get the text on the start of your script, you should get it when the function runs

You have the same problem with text, as text is a string var it won't update the object propertie.

Also never use Text as a name :/

Like this

local AText = script.Parent.Shout.Shout
local Button = script.Parent.ShoutBox.TextButton
local SText = script.Parent.ShoutBox.TextBox
local Frame = script.Parent.Shout

Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    script.Parent.Shout.Shout.TextScaled = true
    Frame.Visible = true
    AText.Text = SText.Text
    wait(5)
    Frame.Visible = false
    script.Parent.Shout.Shout.TextScaled = false
end)

Should work :)
