#1

hello, so i have this line of code that is supposed to update the gui’s text, but it isn’t for some reason.

quantity.Value.TextLabel.Text = player.Resources.Wood.Value

this is the wood adding part:


PlayerS.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local Resources = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	Resources.Name = "Resources"
	local Wood = Instance.new("NumberValue",Resources)
	Wood.Value = 0
	Wood.Name = "Wood"
end)

and the gui

What is the code for this part that you have to have it change to that?

local PlayerS = game:GetService(“Players”)

PlayerS.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local Resources = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
Resources.Name = “Resources”
local Wood = Instance.new(“NumberValue”,Resources)
Wood.Value = 0
Wood.Name = “Wood”
end)

Is it suppose to be showing how much wood you have, or something like that?

#5

If so do this.

So, if you want it to show on the GUI. You’d have to put it in a local script.

So, do a script like this.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local wood = player:WaitForChild(“Resources”).Wood.Value
local Textlabel = script.Parent

Textlabel.Text = tostring("Wood: "…tostring(wood))

#6

The parent of this must be the TextLabel put this local script into the text label.

#7

yup, it is supposd to do that thirtychar

i transfered the script from another game of mine

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	print("equiped")
	player.PlayerGui.Quantity.Value.Visible = true
	quantity.Value.TextLabel.Text = tostring(player.Resources.Wood.Value)
	part.SelectionBox.Transparency = 0.5
	context:BindAction("Drop",function(name,state,obj)
		if state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
			player.PlayerGui.Drop.Frame.Visible = not player.PlayerGui.Drop.Frame.Visible
			player.PlayerGui.Drop.Frame.Label.Text = "Dropping: Wood"
		end
	end,false, Enum.KeyCode.Q)
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
	print("unequipped")
	part.SelectionBox.Transparency = 1
	player.PlayerGui.Quantity.Value.Visible = false
	part.Position = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	context:UnbindAction("Drop")
end)
