Int Value on Text Label Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My int value changed script is not working. I’ve placed this script in the workspace and it is a server script. (I’m not sure where to put it so…)

Goal: The int value goes up every second, so the text label should show the player’s second count

GUI script:

local intValue = game.ServerStorage.Counts.Value
local textLabel = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel

intValue.Changed:Connect(function()
	textLabel.Text = tostring(intValue.Value)
end)

Other scripts (everything is in one script, this part is working)

local counts = game.ServerStorage.Counts
local part = game.Workspace.IntValueTest
-- counter
coroutine.wrap(function()
	while true do
		counts.Value = counts.Value + 1
		wait(1)
	end
end)()

-- event
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print("you have been playing for", counts.Value, "seconds")
end)

thank you so much in advance! i really appreciate it :smiley:

Try it in ReplicatedStorage, ServerStorage is only for the server and the client will not ever see it.

And are there any errors?

As mentioned above, you can not access ServerStorage from the client.

local Replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local intValue = Replicated:WaitForChild("Counts")

local textLabel = script.Parent.ScreenGui.TextLabel -- your path to that label from the script.

intValue.Changed:Connect(function()
	textLabel.Text = tostring(intValue.Value)
end)

I also noticed:
You defined intValue as the Value itself.
And inside the Changed event you try to set the text into the Value of the value. Which wont work.
Try what I sent above.

gotcha, thank you so much for the clarification! and nope!

Thank you so much! Should I place the script in replicated storage as well, or can I keep it in the workspace? :smiley:

try this:

local intValue = game.ServerStorage.Counts.Value
local textLabel = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel

intValue.Changed:Connect(function(amount)
	textLabel.Text = amount
end)
