title says it all, this is a local script in workspace

local guardtext = "B"
local theiftext = "A"
local Infogui = game.StarterGui.InfoGui.Info
local localplayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local alreadydisplayed = true

while task.wait(0.1) do
    print("Debug Loop")
    if alreadydisplayed == true and localplayer.Team == game.Teams.Spectator then
        alreadydisplayed = false
    end
    
    if alreadydisplayed == false then --Display Team Info
        alreadydisplayed = true
        if localplayer.Team == game.Teams.Theif then
            Infogui.Visible = true
            Infogui.Text = theiftext
            task.delay(7, function()
                Infogui.Visible = false
            end)
        elseif game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team == game.Teams.Guards then
            Infogui.Visible = true
            script.Parent.Text = guardtext
            task.delay(7, function()
                Infogui.Visible = false
            end)
        end 
    end
end

i dont think its a code issue, because i put a breakpoint before the main loop and it didnt get triggered
the script is enabled, and its not a location issue

local scripts never run in the workspace, it has to be a server script.

edit: judging by this code, this could easily go into StarterPlayerScripts

#3

is it not printing “Debug Loop”?

#4

yeah local scripts dont run in workspace it has to be in the starterplayerscripts or startercharacter or starterpack or startergui

#5

of course, take a look at valid containers for localscripts

#7

if im not able to use localscripts in the workspace, then why arent they grayed-out on the insert tool?

#8

I don’t know, but I’m guessing it used to work in an earlier update and they forgot to grey it.
