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!!!
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
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for _,p in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
p.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.Text = "hello"
end
end)
You don't need a LocalScript to accomplish this.
yes you do lol, and you should be, but your script is wrong
it is not wrong
a server script can access the PlayerGui through this exact kind of script
but, i see your point: if FilteringEnabled is on, the PlayerGui cannot be accessed.

Make it a LocalScript instead of a normal Script
LocalScript is unnecessary
wrong ^
