Asked 675 views4 answers

i've done everything correctly as far as i know but it is still not working!!!!!

Heres The Script:

game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Noob.Text = "1%"

wait(2) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "2%"

wait(2) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "3%"

wait(2) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "4%"

wait(4) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "25%"

wait(3) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "50%"

wait(3) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "75%"

wait(5) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "100%"

wait(1) game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.VirusContinues.Frame.Noob.Text = "Virus Injected!"

Please Help Me If You Know How To Help Me Fix It!

First off, can you edit your post and put it in a code block by clicking the blue circle that says lua?

Was this created with malicious intent? :thinking:

@TheeDeathCaster, sorry for the late response. No this wasn't, as you can see its a simple GUI and nothing malicious. I was just into viruses and things at the time. Plus if past me couldn't do this what makes you think that I could code an entire virus.

you can't edit startergui with a localscript; starter gui inserts into > game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") if you want to edit it better, insert a localscript into the textlabel named noob and just do

script.Parent.Text = "1%"

wait(2) script.Parent.Text = "2%"

wait(2) script.Parent.Text = "3%"

wait(2)script.Parent.Text = "4%"

wait(4) script.Parent.Text= "25%"

wait(3) script.Parent.Text = "50%"

wait(3) script.Parent.Text = "75%"

wait(5) script.Parent.Text = "100%"

wait(1) script.Parent.Text = "Virus Injected!"

as the other answers answered the main problem, you can use numeric for loop to make your code more compact and easier to read.

ex

local label = script.Parent

for i = 1,4 do
	label.Text = i.."%"
end
for i = 25,100,25 do -- increment it by 25
	label.Text = i.."%"
end

Oh, well the problem here is that you are editing the StarterGui. You need to edit the PlayerGui.

Change game.StarterGui to

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Playergui
