Cant assign text to textLabel

[Techononux3 (Technonux)]

the code that creates the text label is

function module.createTextLabel(text,parent)
	local text = assets.Text:Clone()
	text.Text = text
	text.Parent = parent
	return text
end

local gui = players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() 
	local frame = uiLib.createFrame("Test",gui.BkgFrame)
	local text = uiLib.createTextLabel("This is an example of a custom frame",frame)
end)

not sure why it wont work

@Techononux3

local text = assets.Text:Clone()
text.Text = text

You are cloning the label and setting its text to itself, it means that its a not a string(text)

Its like “Label.Text = Part”, it wont work

In your createTextLabel function, there is a parameter named text and a variable named text. The error could be happening because the script is getting confused on which one to set as the Text (instance)'s text. So simply change the variable/parameter names to differ from each other.
