Why does my while true do loop on text not update?

Asked by
User#22788 5

local XP = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Statistic:WaitForChild('XP').Value
local XPRequired = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Statistic:WaitForChild('XPNeeded').Value
ExperienceText = script.Parent

while true do       

    ExperienceText.Text = XP..'/'..XPRequired
wait()
end

the text should update every singel second but its not updating

How do i know that its not updating?

because I used a hit part that gives you XP on each touch and the text is still the same

any help?

Try this out, I think .Changed is a better way of doing what you're looking for. Idk if this is a local script or not, but just a heads up a remote event might be needed.

local XP = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Statistic:WaitForChild('XP')
local XPRequired = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Statistic:WaitForChild('XPNeeded')
local ExperienceText = script.Parent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
    ExperienceText.Text = XP.Value..'/'..XPRequired.Value
end)

    XP.Changed:Connect(function()
     ExperienceText.Text = XP.Value..'/'..XPRequired.Value
    end)

Try this now, you should not use .Value in a variable. DinozCreates 1070 — 5y

Try adding "ExperienceText.Text = tostring(XP.Value.."/"..XPRequired.Value)". Don't know if it would work but yeah. XviperIink 428 — 5y

Do I remove the player Added since it works withot player added? User#22788 5 — 5y

yes. see if it works fine without that, if it doesnt, we'll do a playeradded function and then just have it set the experience counter up, and then do the change seperately. DinozCreates 1070 — 5y
