How do I have the TextLabels text display only once in a changed event?

This is a LocalScript, right? Also is the Changed event for a NumberValue?

24

No it is a server script. And yea it’s for a number value.

25

Why are you having a server script edit client objects?

26

I wanted it server because I wanted it to display for everybody but now I realize it doesn’t really matter if it is on the server or not because it will still display.

Yes, also the server should only have to do the bare minimum. That includes handling remotes, secure data, and only things a server can do. The client should handle everything else.

Anyway, try this:

local players = game:GetService('Players')
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer
local typewrite = require(game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').typewrite)
local StatusGui = localPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("StatusGui")
local Status = StatusGui.MainFrame.Status		
local Temp = workspace.Temp
local debounce
Temp:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Value'):Connect(function()	
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		local Value = Temp.Value
		if Value > 3500 then
			typewrite(Status,"WARNING. ACTIVATE THE COOLANT IMMEDIATELY! CORE IS NEAR MELTDOWN!",0.05) 
		elseif Value > 3000 then
			typewrite(Status,"The core is starting to overheat. You should cool the core down a bit.",0.05) 		
		elseif Value > 1500 then
			typewrite(Status,"Core is at normal tempatures.",0.05)		
		elseif Value > 500 then
			typewrite(Status,"The core is getting too cold. You should warm the core up.",0.05) 	
		end	
		debounce = nil
	end
end)

So pretty much all I needed was a debounce and LocalScript? Thanks.
