Clone TextLabel for every item in table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

for i, v in pairs(datatable) do
CloneText:Clone()
CloneText.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.ScreenGui.FrameE.FrameC.ScrollingFrame
CloneText.Text = v
end

Datatable has multiple entries in it, however when a player is added it only picks one of the items in the table and clones 1 text label instead of cloning a textlabel for each item in the table.

Expected Result: Clones 5 Text labels (theres 5 things in the table)

Why is it only cloning 1 text label

#2

You aren’t setting the position, can that be the error?

#3

Don’t use StarterGui for this purpose.
You can either use Player.PlayerGui or access that ScrollingFrame with how many .Parent's that are required.

Also, could we see the entire code?

#4

No that would not be an error. The position was already set when I put the text-label into Replicated Storage

#5

local RepStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes
local DataStore = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local Data = DataStore:GetDataStore(“DataInputSaves”)
local datatable = {}
local CloneText = game.ReplicatedStorage.UIClones.TextLabel

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
datatable = Data:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
for i, v in pairs(datatable) do
CloneText:Clone()
CloneText.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.ScreenGui.FrameE.FrameC.ScrollingFrame
CloneText.Text = v
end
end)

#6

I fixed it,
CloneText.Parent = plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.FrameE.FrameC.ScrollingFrame

#7

Well, they can still be stakced ontop of eachother as you are not changing the position.

#8

Theres a UIListLayout, the position gets set below the text-label before it.

#9

Also use a pcall when you get the datatable.

#10

And add a print after getting the data and make sure you have multiple entries in the datatable

#11

Already made a print, and checked before hand. I just deleted it from the script to show you guys. I need help with cloning the text-label though for each entry

#12 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

datatable = Data:GetAsync(plr.UserId)

for i, v in pairs(datatable) do
local CloneText = game.ReplicatedStorage.UIClones.TextLabel:Clone()
print(i..": "..v)
CloneText.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.ScreenGui.FrameE.FrameC.ScrollingFrame
CloneText.Text = i..": "..v
CloneText.Name = i
end


end)

Fixed it myself guys
