Hi! I want to update a string value inside a frame with a button in the same frame, but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me? Script:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
local MapName = script.Parent.Parent.Name
print(MapName)--This works. I can see the name in the output
local selectedMap = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SelectedMap.Value
selectedMap = MapName--This doesn't
end)
Directly update the stringvalue's value instead of assigning it to a variable. All you're doing is just reassigning the variable A to variable B, which does nothing to the string value.
So, instead, you should do this:
something.Parent.Parent.Value = MapName
Or, you can make a reference to the StringValue so you can have cleaner code, like this.
local X = something.Parent.Parent;
X.Value = MapName

I already got the value when I defined selectedMap. Line 5 should update the value that selectedMap is
Weird
Look up the difference between values and references. also, Filtering Enabled
