GUI-Text changing script works in studio but breaks in-game. Why?
I have a problem with a script. The script works completely fine in studio, but does not work in game at all and the developer console shows no error messages. I've seen this problem happen frequently to others and I can't figure out how to fix it. I'm a beginner scripter, so I'm unaware of a solution to this. It is a regular script, not a LocalScript.
Finished = true function onClicked(click) if (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 0) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "1" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 1) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "2" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 2) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "3" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 3) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "4" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 4) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "5" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 5) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "6" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 6) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "7" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true elseif (script.Parent.Parent.Value1.Value == 7) and Finished == true then Finished = false game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "8" wait(3) game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TotalNumber.TextLabel.Text = "" Finished = true end end script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

I am assuming that this is in a local script as you use game.Players.LocalPlayer.
A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects: -A Player's Backpack, such as a child of a Tool -A Player's Character model -A Player's PlayerGui -A Player's PlayerScripts -The ReplicatedFirst service

As what JackOfAllBlox stated, You should only use game.Players.LocalPlayer when you are running a LocalScript. So change it to a LocalScript and it should work.
