Hello, I'm trying to make things with a GUI and it is not letting me change the text with a script. I made a little button that makes the text change when clicked and it should change, but it does not.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = "hello"
end)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Make it a LocalScript instead of a normal Script fr2013 88 — 5y

Use a local script instead of a script. Scripts run on the server while local scripts run on the client. If you're using a local script, ensure the script is not disabled.

regular scripts can also access the PlayerGui, not just local scripts DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

        p.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.Text = "hello"
    end
end)

You don't need a LocalScript to accomplish this.

a server script can access the PlayerGui through this exact kind of script DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

but, i see your point: if FilteringEnabled is on, the PlayerGui cannot be accessed. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y
