local label = script.Parent --varaible for less typing

label.Text = ('Gold:' .. game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Gold)
print("Working!")
end
i am currently working on a GUI that types the amount of Gold the player has. Any ideas?
You need to access the .Value of Gold, and convert it to a string. Your code should look like:
local label = script.Parent --varaible for less typing
while wait() do --changed to while statement(less laagy)
label.Text = ('Gold:' .. tostring(game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Gold.Value))
print("Working!")
end
You are concatenating a string with an object, while strings can only be concatenated with strings. Here's the fixed version:
local label = script.Parent --varaible for less typing
while true do --changed to while statement
label.Text = ('Gold:' .. game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Gold.Value)
print("Working!")
end
Basically, what I mean with what I just said before, is that you can do this:
E = 'Test'
print( E .. 'Double' ) -- prints out TestDouble
but not this:
E = 'Test'
print( E .. workspace.Double ) -- Errors
Thank you for trying :D i liked your idea there, now I understand how I can make things better, thanks for putting your effort into this :D
This is because you tried to concatenate an object, and wrapped your string in brackets. Brackets are math exclusive. Instead of using a loop to update the text, use the Changed event to update it. The loop isn’t fast enough to get it updated.
local plr = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local stats = plr:WaitForChild'leaderstats'
local gold = stats.Gold
gold.Changed:Connect(function() -- use this instead of loop
script.Parent.Text = "Gold: "..gold.Value -- don’t wrap your string in brackets () since brackets are math exclusive.
end)

"don’t wrap your string in brackets () since brackets are math exclusive." - incorrect. Both print("foo" .. ("bar")) and print(("foo" .. "bar")) are valid.
