Hi, i am trying to make a working scoreboard gui that updates whenever a team scores a goal, but it isn’t working. Here is the script. (i apologise if what i said isn’t clear)

game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local client = Players.LocalPlayer

local playersService = game:GetService("Players")

local scoreBoardGui = game.StarterGui.ScoreGui

local elfScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.SpursScore

local gnomeScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.ArsenalScore

local status = scoreBoardGui.Status

local timer = scoreBoardGui.Timer

local minutes = 0

local minuteLength = 1

local RS = game.ReplicatedStorage

local RF = game.ReplicatedFirst

local SS = game.ServerStorage

local goal1 = workspace.goal1

local goal2 = workspace.goal2

local goal2 = workspace.goal2

local ball = workspace.TPS

local function score(team)
	team.Text = team.Text + 1
	status.Text = "GOAL"
	wait (5)
end

ball.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	if part == goal1 then
		score(gnomeScore)

	elseif part == goal2 then
		score(elfScore)

	end

end)
for minutes=1, 400 do
	timer.Text = "Timer: " .. minutes
	status.Text = ""

	if minutes == 200 then
		status.Text = "Half Time"
	end
end

if minutes == 400 then
	status.Text = "Full Time"
end

On the text label, add a local script that does

status.Changed:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = status.Value
end)

Yep. Make sure to make the status variable.

I don’t understand this part :slight_smile:. How can you add 1 to a string? I’m new so I don’t understand anything, yet :).

So like this?

i had a surface gui and i was modifying everything from a server script

8

Correct. Make sure it’s a localscript.

9

now i changed to a local script in starter player scripts

10

nothing works at all but there isnt any errors

11

if you wanna see my server sided script, take the model and review it GameScript - Roblox

12

You need to put the script inside the GUI or change the “script.Parent” to the directory of the GUI

13

i put the script inside all the text labels

14

update: i got an error “value isnt a valid member of textlabel”

15

Change status.Value to status.Text

16

thats what i did and it still didnt work

17

Are you sure? Does it still give “value isnt a valid member of textlabel”

18

no it doesnt give any errors, it just doesnt work

as u see, this script works fine on a surface gui (this time this script is in server script service)

local scoreBoardGui = workspace.Score.ScoreboardGui

local elfScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.SpursScore

local gnomeScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.ArsenalScore

local status = scoreBoardGui.Status

local timer = scoreBoardGui.Timer

local goal1 = workspace.goal1

local goal2 = workspace.goal2

local ball = workspace.TPS

local originalPosition = ball.Position

local minutes = 0

local minuteLength = 1

local function score(team)
	team.Text = team.Text + 1

	status.Text = "GOAL"
	wait (5)

	for index, player in next, playersService:GetPlayers() do
		player:LoadCharacter()

	end
	resetBall(0.0001)
end

ball.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	if part == goal1 then
		score(gnomeScore)

	elseif part == goal2 then
		score(elfScore)

	end

end)

for minutes=1, 400 do
	timer.Text = "Timer: " .. minutes
	status.Text = ""

	if minutes == 200 then
		status.Text = "Half Time"
		resetBall(15)
		for index, player in next, playersService:GetPlayers() do
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end
	if minutes == 400 then
		status.Text = "Full Time"
		resetBall(15)
		for index, player in next, playersService:GetPlayers() do
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end
	wait(minuteLength)
end
