Why doesn't my script update a text label according to a string value?
Hey. I have a part that moves a model from replicated storage to workspace. The model has a part that should change a String Value when clicked and it does but for some reason the script that should update a text label's text doesn't work. Here's the code:
01 | local case = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.CasesGui.Case.Value) |
02 | local deduction = case:WaitForChild("Deduction").Value |
03 |
04 | while true do |
05 | wait() |
06 | if case and deduction then |
07 | if deduction == "Identification" then |
08 | script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "This is definetly a broken part from the stolen server" |
09 | script.Parent.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(234, 255, 0) |
10 | elseif deduction == "Type" then |
11 | script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "From the bending and the feeling of this... This is Aluminum" |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |

You shouldn't write Value in a variable do it like this and see if it works.
01 | local case = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.CasesGui.Case) |
02 | local deduction = case:WaitForChild("Deduction") |
03 |
04 | while true do |
05 | wait() |
06 | if case.Value and deduction.Value then |
07 | if deduction.Value == "Identification" then |
08 | script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "This is definetly a broken part from the stolen server" |
09 | script.Parent.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(234, 255, 0) |
10 | elseif deduction.Value == "Type" then |
11 | script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "From the bending and the feeling of this... This is Aluminum" |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |

Its true, as much as it pains me its true, for some reason you can't give a value directly a variable you need to access it through or with its parent/Property Holder Omega_bs 40 — 6y

Unfortunately it doesn't. And for some reason I get "Infinite yield possible on 'Workspace:WaitForChild("Instance")" not having anything named Instance in the workspace or code. bruceywayne 35 — 6y

Update on this. I made this FE so I couldn't just update the Text from a normal script. I had to do it from the local script that defines what the event does when it's triggered.
