Updating GUI without resetting character?

I'm trying to get one of my GUI elements to display a number counter, but the number itself won't update unless the player character dies or is reset. I've tried having disabling the GUI and re-enabling right after, but that didn't seem to help. What can I use to have the GUI update the value without forcing the player to reset their character? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out. Edit: Here's what I have code-wise. It's not much, but it's all I have for now. the 'update' local is pointing to a RemoteEvent that should have, in theory, forced the GUI to update. The 'number' value is also working correctly.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local number = game.ServerStorage.credits[tostring(player.Name)]Value
local update = game.ReplicatedStorage.creditupdate


update.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = "You currently have "..number
end)
