The title explains everything, ive made sure the the retured text of the function is there (so its not nil) but it still doesnt work.
If i set the text to the “file.Data” it works but if i use the “decodedfile” it doesnt.
I have no idea on how to fix this

Try setting a breakpoint and stepping through the code line by line to see if it’s doing what you expect

well it does what i want it decodes the file.Data so it can be used but it doesnt set the text
You never actually printed out decodedfile
, see what it prints as, and also try doing
typeof(decodedfile)
These are some very simple suggestions, but it might help you figure out what’s happening.
returns everything its supposed to
Maybe try tostring(decodedfile)? Also make sure the TextLabel is in the correct spot and is the correct class. Other than that I’m stumped. Is it a TextLabel and not a TextBox?
its a textlabel and tostring() doesnt change anything
Try :WaitForChild() I honestly have no idea, can I see the explorer window?
and the even more weird part is that i can set the decodedfile manualy but just not with the script
Yeah, try :WaitForChild(). I feel like it would just throw an error (if it was not there*) but never hurts to try.
:WaitForChild() doesnt change anything again, im beginning think this is some sort of roblox bug
oh and here is the explorer
On the line where you change the text, try just saying
script.TextLabel.Text = "blahblahblah"
To see if it can change at all.
this works but the decodedfile should work too as its not nil and a string
Yeah, this is very confusing. If it doesn’t work for decodedfile, it shouldn’t work for that string either. And we verified that the typeof(decodedfile) is a string as well, so none of this makes sense.
Might want to file a bug report, unless you find a solution before then.

Yeah I can’t make one either. Shame.
HOW DO YOU GET THE ICON BY YOUR PROFILE PICTURE???
by joining groups and setting them in the settings
you can join/find them here DevForum | Roblox
Well anyways, I’m stumped on your problem. Good luck, I can’t think of how to fix it.
