Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to write 2 intValue and a String beetwen in a labelText.

textStats = script.Parent
local harvest = game.Players.LocalPlayer.folder.Harvest
local bag = game.Players.LocalPlayer.folder.Bag
while true do
	wait(0.1)
	harvestString = tostring(harvest.Value)
	bagString = tostring(bag.Value)
	textStats.Text = harvestString, " / ", bagString ( Line underline in orange )
	print(harvestString, " / ", bagString)
end

In my textLabel only harvestString is write but in the output thanks to the print, it write correctly

I search solution everywhere but i find nothing.

Use .. to concatenate strings: harvestString .. " / " .. bagString

As an add-on:

  • .. needs to be used to separate actual strings (can not be a number, bool or data value. Use tostring(value) if you want to add a bool, number or data value to a string) when assigning strings to e.g. TextLabel.Text
  • , can be used to separate strings, bools, numbers and whatnot when using print() (separates and adds one space inbetween e.g. print("cow","milk") would print > cow milk )

player.Name somehow doesn't work while there is a local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

For more advanced users, you can use string.format. Basic usage would look like this:

textStats.Text = string.format("%s / %s", harvestString, bagString)

Simply enter the text you’d like to display, with %s in place of your variables. You then specify the variables - in order - as the parameters.

This essentially allows you to create template strings. If you care about micro-optimisations, I believe string.format is also quicker than concatenation.
