Animate Text Label for Overhead GUI

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I failed making text label animate for overhead based on team, If i make not based on team it works, but if I make based on team, it doesn’t work
Code 1 (Work, but without based on team)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")

local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Module = Storage:WaitForChild("AnimateUI")

local AnimateUI = require(Module)

local label = script.Parent

AnimateUI.loadTranslator()

while true do

local message1 = [[Military Police]]

AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)

wait(3)

local message2 = [[Special Reaction Team]]

AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)

wait(3)

end

It works, but if i make based on team like :
Code 2 :

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Module = Storage:WaitForChild("AnimateUI")
local AnimateUI = require(Module)
local label = script.Parent

AnimateUI.loadTranslator()

while true do
	if Players.Team == Teams["Military Police"] then
		local message1 = [[Military Police]]
		AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)
		wait(3)
		local message2 = [[Special Reaction Team]]
		AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)
		wait(3)
	end
end

Or

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Module = Storage:WaitForChild("AnimateUI")
local AnimateUI = require(Module)
local label = script.Parent

AnimateUI.loadTranslator()

if Players.Team == Teams["Military Police"] then
	while true do
		local message1 = [[Military Police]]
		AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)
		wait(3)
		local message2 = [[Special Reaction Team]]
		AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)
		wait(3)
	end
end

It doesn’t work, both of it, I also already try do suggestion from forum, but also doesn’t work, here’s the code :

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local Storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Module = Storage:WaitForChild("AnimateUI")
local AnimateUI = require(Module)
local label = script.Parent

AnimateUI.loadTranslator()

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		if Player.Team == Teams:FindFirstChild("Military Police") then
			while Character do
				local message1 = [[Military Police]]
				AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)
				wait(3)
				local message2 = [[Special Reaction Team]]
				AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message2, 0.05)
				wait(3)
			end
		end
	end)
end)

This is the AnimateUI Module Script :

local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local SOURCE_LOCALE = "en"
local translator = nil

local AnimateUI = {}

function AnimateUI.loadTranslator()
	pcall(function()
		translator = LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayerAsync(Players)
	end)
	if not translator then
		pcall(function()
			translator = LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForLocaleAsync(SOURCE_LOCALE)
		end)
	end
end

function AnimateUI.typeWrite(guiObject, text, delayBetweenChars)
	guiObject.Visible = true
	guiObject.AutoLocalize = false
	local displayText = text

	-- Translate text if possible
	if translator then
		displayText = translator:Translate(guiObject, text)
	end

	-- Replace line break tags so grapheme loop will not miss those characters
	displayText = displayText:gsub("<br%s*/>", "\n")
	displayText:gsub("<[^<>]->", "")

	-- Set translated/modified text on parent
	guiObject.Text = displayText

	local index = 0
	for first, last in utf8.graphemes(displayText) do
		index = index + 1
		guiObject.MaxVisibleGraphemes = index
		wait(delayBetweenChars)
	end
end

return AnimateUI

Or you can see from Animate Text

I think you want to check Player.Team, not Players.

Yeah i use Players.Team because I use local Players = game:GetService(“Players”) ?

Okay, to be clear, what does this even do? What is the AnimateUI module? Is it supposed to give a player an overhead GUI depending on what team they are in? If yes, when you do this:

AnimateUI.typeWrite(label, message1, 0.05)

How do you specify which player the GUI is going to be above?
