(SOLVED) How do you change a TextLabel's text in a local script?
I have a LocalScript inside a GUI. I am trying to change the text of a TextLabel. I want the text to say: $0 / $4000. It only says 0. (That's the text it is before playing.)
This is the LocalScript:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local cashCollected = player:WaitForChild("CashCollected")
local storage = player:WaitForChild("Storage")
script.Parent.RewardText.Text = "$"..cashCollected.Value.."/"..storage.Value
cashCollected:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
script.Parent.RewardText.Text = "$"..cashCollected.Value.." / $"..storage.Value
end)
Any help?

From a LocalScript, you can access the LocalPlayer's PlayerGui and make edits from there:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local cashCollected = player:WaitForChild("CashCollected")
local storage = player:WaitForChild("Storage")
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.RewardText.Text = "$"..cashCollected.Value.."/"..storage.Value -- Fix #1
cashCollected:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.RewardText.Text = "$"..cashCollected.Value.." / $"..storage.Value -- Fix #2
end)
