I'm very confused. I happened to be messing around and ended up with a problem. Here's the situation. This simple line (line, as in singular, as in A line!) of code, won't work.
script.Parent.Text = "Hi"
This is inside a script that is inside a text label. Nothing special about it just a text label and a script. Any idea what I did wrong? I'm no pro at scripting, but I would like to think that I know more to it than this.
Hope you can help.
Local scripts are required. Another thing you can do is implement a string value into replicated storage, then inserting a local script into the label.
CODE FOR THAT:
local text = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").StringValue
local message = script.Parent
message.Text = text.Value
text.Changed:Connect(function()
message.Text = text.Value
end)
Next, go to serverscriptservice and implement a script executing this:
local text = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").StringValue
text.Value = "Hi"
Basically, for the label, the script detects if the value of the string is changed, then changes it's text to the string's value. The ServerScriptService script changes the value of the string to "Hi". It's recommended to use this for intermissions.

Local or regular?
Use a LocalScript, also make sure that the script itself is working, it might be disabled, put
print("Works")at the top and if you don't see that in the output, you know your script isn't running at all.Second adding debugs. Also make sure no other script is interferring with it. It also may just be the place.
I doubt the place could have anything to do with it, but outside script interference is a definite possibility.
It also depends what the TextLabel is on. On a SurfaceGui he should use a serverscript if it's not in the StarterGui.
