how do I simply change a surface gui text on a brick with a script?
I'm actually pretty surprised of this issue. It would seem so simple but it just doesn't work, no errors either.
local text = script.Parent.Text
text = ('hello')

Reference vs Value
when doing something like
local text = script.Parent.Text
it is essentially setting a variable equivalent to the text of the object, rather than actually being tied to the text of the object.
For that, you would do something like this:
local thing = script.Parent thing.Text = "hello"
ik this goes without saying but, if this is a surface gui on the server, be sure to use a server script
Hopefully this helped!

doesnt need to be a server script if its not connected to an event though, everyone will still see the same thing Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 5y

not really, localscripts placed outside the client won't run, and network filtering will prevent everyone from seeing it if modified by a client theking48989987 2147 — 5y
