Cant update custom hotbar image

[zerzi75]

I want to make a system where there is a hotbar that uses values, if the value is the same as the name of the item it will show the item and update the value.

For some reason,The image and value does not update. This is a script in the startergui for the hotbar:

while wait(0.1) do
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.Stats:GetChildren()) do
		v.Changed:Connect(function(prop)
			local icon = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.Stats:WaitForChild(v.Parent.Name).Icon.Texture
			if script.Slot1.Value == nil then
				script.Slot1.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot1.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot2.Value == nil then
				script.Slot2.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot2.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot3.Value == nil then
				script.Slot3.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot3.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot4.Value == nil then
				script.Slot4.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot4.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot5.Value == nil then
				script.Slot5.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot5.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot6.Value == nil then
				script.Slot6.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot6.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot7.Value == nil then
				script.Slot7.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot7.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot8.Value == nil then
				script.Slot8.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot8.Image.Image = icon
			elseif script.Slot9.Value == nil then
				script.Slot9.Value = v.Name
				hotbar.Slot9.Image.Image = icon
			end
		end)
	end
end

if your in game each player has their own “PlayerGui”. so if your only getting StarterGui no one will be able to see it. here is some fixed code that should work theoretically

task.wait(.5)

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr.PlayerGui

local gui = plrGui[GuiNameHere]
local guiBar = gui[GuiNameHere]
local guiImagesFolder = gui[FolderNameHere]

while true do
	for index, slot in pairs(guiImagesFolder:GetChildren())	do
		guiBar.Image = slot.Value
		
		task.wait(.1)
	end
end

tell me if it errors, also the layout of the gui might need to be changed a little bit. By that I mean you need to add a folder in the gui and name it whatever you want and then add all the slot things in that folder.

Sorry about that this code wouldn’t work if the slot values were to be out of order so I made this instead, also the slot values names need to be standalone numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc. instead of Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, etc. anyways here’s the code

task.wait(.5)

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr.PlayerGui

local gui = plrGui["TestGui"]
local guiBar = gui["MainImageFrame"]
local guiImagesFolder = gui["ImageFolder"]

while true do
	for i = 1, #guiImagesFolder:GetChildren(), 1 do
		if guiImagesFolder[i] ~= nil then
			local imageValue = guiImagesFolder[i].Value
			
			guiBar.Image = imageValue
			
			task.wait(.1)	
		end
	end
end

I found the solution, this shouldve been the script lol I propably made the mistake cuz I wrote this code during nighttime while I was sleepy

for i,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.Stats:GetChildren()) do
	v.Changed:Connect(function(prop)
		print(v.Name .. prop)
		local icon = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.Stats:WaitForChild(v.Name)
		if script.Slot1.Value == "" then
			script.Slot1.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot1.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot2.Value == "" then
			script.Slot2.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot2.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot3.Value == "" then
			script.Slot3.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot3.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot4.Value == "" then
			script.Slot4.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot4.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot5.Value == "" then
			script.Slot5.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot5.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot6.Value == "" then
			script.Slot6.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot6.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot7.Value == "" then
			script.Slot7.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot7.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot8.Value == "" then
			script.Slot8.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot8.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		elseif script.Slot9.Value == "" then
			script.Slot9.Value = v.Name
			hotbar.Slot9.ImageFrame.Image = icon.Icon.Texture
		end
	end)
end
