Why is the GUI's text not changing?
I want to change the GUI's text to cash, but it never changes and gives no errors. The leaderstats changes but the GUI does not. The script is located in starter character scripts.
wait(1)
local playerModel = script.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(playerModel)
player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")
local cash = player.leaderstats.Cash
local moneyText = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.moneyLabel.Text
while true do
wait(5)
cash.Value = cash.Value + 100
moneyText = cash.Value
end
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Problem
You set the Variable moneyText to player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.moneyLabel.Text but Lua just Sets the variable to the property and when you set it it only changes the Variable itself. Not the actual property.
Solution
Replace player.PlayerGui.Screengui.moneyLabel.Text with player.PlayerGui.Screengui.moneyLabel. And replace moneyText = cash.Value to moneyText.Text = cash.Value
Final Script
wait(1)
local playerModel = script.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(playerModel)
player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")
local cash = player.leaderstats.Cash
local moneyText = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.moneyLabel
while true do
wait(5)
cash.Value = cash.Value + 100
moneyText.Text = cash.Value
end
