Script not changing the text of a gui?
I made this script to get how many instances are in the game and displaying that.
local TotalInstances = game:GetChildren()
local Stats = game:GetService("Stats")
while true do
script.Parent.Text = Stats.InstanceCount .. "/" .. #TotalInstances
end
the script does not change the gui's text. Whats wrong?

Alrighty, I fixed your problem. First off, make a ScreenGui in StarterGui then add a TextLabel to it. And then add a LocalScript to the TextLabel. Then I added this script and everything worked!
local TotalInstances = game:GetChildren()
local Stats = game:GetService("Stats")
while true do
wait()
script.Parent.Text = Stats.InstanceCount .. "/" .. #TotalInstances
end
I hope this helped!

So was the problem not having a wait statement? Benbebop 1049 — 5y

Your problem was most likely having a normal script in the TextLabel which does not even run because it is in the Client. ScriptedEli 101 — 5y

You could also use while wait() do so there doesn't need to be that wait() statement. harstud 218 — 5y
