Intermission Text stays as "Label" for some reason?

Script 2:

local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status
local TimerDisplay = script.Parent.TimerDisplay

status.Changed:Connect(function()
    TimerDisplay.Text = status.Value
end)

Script 1:



local roundLength = 40
local intermissionLength = 40
local InRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

local GameAreaSpawn = game.Workspace.GameAreaSpawn
local LobbySpawn = game.Workspace.Lobby 


local function roundTimer()
    while wait() do
        for i = intermissionLength, 1,  -1 do
            InRound.Value = false
            wait(1)
            status.Value = "Intermission: ".. i .."seconds left!"
        end
        for i = roundLength, 1, -1 do
            InRound.Value = false
            wait(1)
            status.Value = "Intermission: ".. i .." seconds left!"

        end
    end
end

spawn(roundTimer)

I did everything correctly but still, the text says "Label" even though it's suppose to be numbers that count down. There are 2 separate scripts that is needed to work. How do I fix this?

Are you getting any errors in the output panel? Is the script that's supposed to be modifying the TextLabel a LocalScript? Is the other script a regular Script? Rinpix 639 — 4y

The textlabel has a local script and the other one with the local roundLength thingy is just a regular script Zisser_Z -2 — 4y

Here try this, accept if it works.

local roundLength = 40
local intermissionLength = 40
local InRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

local GameAreaSpawn = game.Workspace.GameAreaSpawn
local LobbySpawn = game.Workspace.Lobby 


local function roundTimer()
    while true do
        for i = 1, intermissionLength do
            InRound.Value = false
            wait(1)
            status.Value = "Intermission: ".. i .."seconds left!"
        end
        for i = 1, roundLength do
            InRound.Value = false
            wait(1)
            status.Value = "Intermission: ".. i .." seconds left!"

        end
    end
end

spawn(roundTimer)

It didn't work still. By the way, should I put the script in another place to see what happens? Since I have it in serverscriptservice and maybe I have to put it somewhere else to stop the problem from happening. Zisser_Z -2 — 4y

no its just because you're on the client and server can only see serverscriptservice so p0vd 207 — 4y

Ensure that the script you're modifying the TextLabel in is a LocalScript, and make sure you're using functions like :GetService() and :WaitForChild().

--Make sure this is a LocalScript.
local status = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Status")
local TimerDisplay = script.Parent.TimerDisplay

status.Changed:Connect(function()
    TimerDisplay.Text = status.Value
end)

It's possible that by the time the script reaches a line where you're assigning a variable to an instance that the instance has not yet loaded.

Do the same with the server script:

--Make sure this is a regular script, and preferably inside of ServerScriptService.
local roundLength = 40
local intermissionLength = 40
local InRound = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("InRound")
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Status")

local GameAreaSpawn = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("GameAreaSpawn")
local LobbySpawn = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Lobby")


local function roundTimer()
    while wait() do
        for i = intermissionLength, 1,  -1 do
            InRound.Value = false
            wait(1)
            status.Value = "Intermission: ".. i .."seconds left!"
        end
        for i = roundLength, 1, -1 do
            InRound.Value = false
            wait(1)
            status.Value = "There are ".. i .." seconds left in the game!"

        end
    end
end

spawn(roundTimer)

I also changed the second for loop in the roundTimer() function so that the text says that the game is currently in session.

If there are still any errors, or if anyone can spot one out that I made, please be sure to correct me.
