Why does this text label change with the first value, but not change any other time?
I'm trying to make a GUI that changes along with a value, but it only changes the first time.
local text = script.Parent
local val = script.Parent.cash.Value
text.Text = tostring(val)
val.Changed:Connect(function()
text.Text = tostring(val)
end)
Thanks if you can help.

Sorry, I messed the title up. I mean the text label changes only one time. CaptainAlien132 225 — 5y

DO NOT USE A LOOP (this is to the previous answer)
The reason it doesn't work is that the variable val is an actual number. You can't do .Changed on a number. Here is a complete fix:
local text = script.Parent
local val = script.Parent.cash
text.Text = val.Value
val.Changed:Connect(function()
text.Text = val.Value
end)
When using Variables to define a value, do not put .Value at the end. This is because you want a updating value. The current value will always stay the same if you use the Variable again.
Hopefully, this helped you solve your problem!

Best of luck developer!

Maybe because your value isn't changing? BlackOrange3343 2676 — 5y
