Well, the TextLabel object has a property called text that can be change, so what you simply have to do is :

TextLabel.Text = "Something of this sort"

Of course, it depends on where the gui is place, if the gui is placed inside the starter gui, you have to use a local script, however if it is in workspace and you want players to see it, you have to change it via a server script

A couple of other things to note:

1.) to reference things you originally put in starter gui, reference the PlayerGui instead, as all things inside the starter gui are cloned into the player gui when that player joins the game.

Ex:

local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

it should be in a local script as |game.Players.LocalPlayer| can only be used on the client theking48989987 2147 — 5y

well the clients are the players playing your game and the server is your game, thats a pretty crude way to explain it theking48989987 2147 — 5y

Put This On The Button Which Should Change The Text

Target = script.parent.parent --This MayBe Wrong Cause You Have To Show 'Script' Where It Is.

Target.Text = "The Button Worked"

Textlabel.Text = "example"

you might have to change where the pathing goes for example

game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = "example"
