how do i create a gui that counts how many players are in one place?
I want to make a GUI that will count how many players are sitting in a truck for my Story game's lobby. When I step on a button, it will put me in the truck but I don't know how to make the number larger on the SurfaceGUI I made according to how many people are sitting in the truck. Here is what I have done so far
01 | --Variables |
02 | local leftValue = game.Workspace.LeftRoad.Truck.Value --To see if the truck exists in the Workspace |
03 | local CounterLeft = game.Workspace.Counters.LeftCounter.SurfaceGui.Count.Text |
04 | local LeftCountVal = game.Workspace.LeftRoad.Count.Value |
05 | local buttonLeft = game.Workspace.Entries.LeftEnter --Button when touched, makes you enter the truck |
06 |
07 | --Script to count players in the truck |
08 | if leftValue == true then |
09 | buttonLeft.Touched:Connect(function(plr) |
10 | if plr.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
11 | LeftCountVal = LeftCountVal +1 |
12 | wait(0.5) |
13 | CounterLeft = LeftCountVal |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 | end |
So I want the text on the SurfaceGui to be the same as the text on the IntValue (Which is the variable "LeftCountVal") some help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem
You are storing game.Workspace.Counters.LeftCounter.SurfaceGui.Count.Text and game.Workspace.LeftRoad.Count.Value in a Variable. But when you try to change it it ONLY changes that variable, NOT the property itself.
Solution
- Instead of Storing the Property store the Object (The TextLabel and Value)
- When setting the Value or Text add
.PropertyNameafter the Variable.
Final Script
01 | --Variables |
02 | local leftValue = game.Workspace.LeftRoad.Truck.Value --To see if the truck exists in the Workspace |
03 | local CounterLeft = game.Workspace.Counters.LeftCounter.SurfaceGui.Count |
04 | local LeftCountVal = game.Workspace.LeftRoad.Count |
05 | local buttonLeft = game.Workspace.Entries.LeftEnter --Button when touched, makes you enter the truck |
06 |
07 | --Script to count players in the truck |
08 | if leftValue == true then |
09 | buttonLeft.Touched:Connect(function(plr) |
10 | if plr.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
11 | LeftCountVal.Value = LeftCountVal.Value +1 |
12 | wait(0.5) |
13 | CounterLeft.Text = LeftCountVal.Value |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 | end |

Thanks a lot for this advice. I also had a problem with it counting too many people when only one steps on the button but i figured it out. I just needed a debounce. kingblaze_1000 359 — 5y
