Working with leaderstats and GUI's, TextLabel won't appear, what should I do?
local function AddToNoobs()
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Noob.Noobs.Value <= 25 then
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = true
wait(5)
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
else
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Noob.Noobs.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Noob.Noobs.Value + 1
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(AddToNoobs)
As I said, no errors appear, the main part that I believe is not working is the statement to make the TextLabel visible, as everything else in the script works. My script can't be local due to the fact that I need to edit the leaderstats.

You cant change a player's gui with the StarterGui, assuming this is a local script, use the hierarchy like you did for the noobs value to get the textlabel instead SerpentineKing 3885 — 4y

First i'd go ahead and make a variable for the value instead of typing that long thing every time ForeverBrown 356 — 4y

startergui is used by the server to replicate a gui for every player that joins. When working with gui, reference game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
for example:
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = true
would be
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = true
Remember to use a localscript while working with client replicated stuff such as guis. If you need to use something serversided, use a remote event. for remotes go here:

My script can't be local because I need to edit the value of the leaderstats, and are you saying that the gui would be visible to everyone if I use a normal script? ScottVulpes 105 — 4y

since guis are client sided u have to use a localscript.to communicate with the server so the server can do something use a remote EmbeddedHorror 299 — 4y
