local findgear = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
				if findgear and findgear:FindFirstChild("BoostName") then
					GL[findgear.Name] = true
					script.Parent.BoostItemsUsedText.Visible = true
                                        if table.find(u13,findgear.Name) then
                                        addItem(findgear.Name)
                                  end
	                   end

local Parent = script.Parent
local BoostItemsList = Parent:WaitForChild("BoostItemsList") -- has a ui list layout

function addItem(what)
		Parent.BoostItemsUsedText.Visible = true;
		local Sample = BoostItemsList.Sample:Clone();
		table.insert(tab, Sample);
		Sample.Text = what;
		if what == "Vertical Mobility" then
			Sample.LayoutOrder = 0;
			Sample.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,0); 
		end;
		Sample.Parent = BoostItemsList
end;

This code runs perfectly fine, but the problem is:
If you hover over it again, it’ll make another textlabel EVEN though it already set the text label, is there a way i can make it only happen once?

only once? , create a BoolValue, and set it to false, when you change the TextLabel
Set it to TRUE

and

I believe the issue is here?
local AlreadyChangedTextLabel  = false -- BoolValue
function addItem(what)
                  
         if AlreadyChangedTextLabel == true then
                --this will prevent from changing it again or creating multiplications
               return
         end
        AlreadyChangedTextLabel = true -- Setting to True, and will run only once
		Parent.BoostItemsUsedText.Visible = true;
		local Sample = BoostItemsList.Sample:Clone();
		table.insert(tab, Sample);
		Sample.Text = what;
		if what == "Vertical Mobility" then
			Sample.LayoutOrder = 0;
			Sample.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,0); 
		end;
		Sample.Parent = BoostItemsList
end;

  1. You can just return the function if the ‘Sample’ object already exists.
function addItem(what)
        if (BoostItemsList:FindFirstChild("Sample")) then
            return -- You can also destroy this if you want it to replace
        end
        Parent.BoostItemsUsedText.Visible = true;
        local Sample = BoostItemsList.Sample:Clone();
        table.insert(tab, Sample);
        Sample.Text = what;
        if what == "Vertical Mobility" then
            Sample.LayoutOrder = 0;
            Sample.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,0); 
        end;
        Sample.Parent = BoostItemsList
end;

Please mark this as solution if this helps with your problem :smiley: !

thanks! The problem was, it was in a loop (while task.wait() do), but I can use this eitherway
