Loop through all children and change boolvalue

[jandrewr]

i have these TextLabels in a frame and i wanna loop through all the TextLabel’s text and turn TextScaled on only for the ones that do not have the text “[No Player]”

What, nobody answer because we don’t understand ?

[jandrewr]

im wondering how to make a script that will loop through all the children of the frame named “People” in the picture, and change TextScaled to true for the all the childrens whose text is not “[No Player]”

Here is an example of how you can do it:

local Frame = script.Parent -- let's say your script is parented to your main frame

for i, v in pairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do -- loops through all the instances under 'Frame'
	if v:IsA("TextLabel") then -- checks if any of the children is a 'TextLabel'
		if v.Text ~= "[No Player]" then -- checks if the text of any TextLabel is not "[No Player]"
			v.TextScaled = true -- sets 'TextScaled' to true
		end
	end
end

local Frame= -- path to your frame
for _,v in ipairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("TextLabel") and v.Text~="[No Player]" then v.TextScaled=true end
end

[hollaquetalBRUH (FDY_Zed)]

I see you mean do that ?

local Frame = script.Parent

for _,v in ipairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do
	if v.ClassName == "TextLabel" and v.Name == "People" then
         if v.Text ~= '[No Player]' then
            v.TextScaled = true
        end
    end
end

after using this script, but changing the location of the frame. no errors occur but none of the TextScaled’s are changed, i added a print(“test”) after
for i, v in pairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do
but it didnt print anything at all.
is this possible with a while true do loop?

[BabyNinjaTime]

Could you please show your current code? Also, are you using a LocalScript or a Server Script, because you should be using a LocalScript for this.

[jandrewr]

here is the script, and yes i am using a localscript

local Frame = script.Parent.Cell.People
for i, v in pairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do -- loops through all the instances under 'Frame'
	print("test")
	if v:IsA("TextLabel") then -- checks if any of the children is a 'TextLabel'
		if v.Text ~= "[No Player]" then -- checks if the text of any TextLabel is not "[No Player]"
			v.TextScaled = true -- sets 'TextScaled' to true
		end
	end
end

The script should be a direct child of the ‘Cell’ ScreenGui. Try putting the script under the ScreenGui. Or insert another LocalScript, parent it to the ScreenGui, and paste the code in that script

[jandrewr]

same result after moving script into Cell, all i did was change
local Frame = script.Parent.Cell.People
to
Local Frame = script.Parent

[BabyNinjaTime]

I think you meant to do local Frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“People”). Does the print function print anything in the output?

[jandrewr]

thanks for pointing that out, but after changing it there is still no changes

and the print function is not printing anything in the output

[BabyNinjaTime]

Does the TextLabels Text change from time to time from another script? Because if so, you should be calling the GetPropertyChangedSignal event for that.

[jandrewr]

one of the textlabel’s will change when a player joins to display their username
how would i incorporate that into the script? sorry for my lack of script knowledge

local Frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("People")
for i, v in pairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do -- loops through all the instances under 'Frame'
	print("test")
	if v:IsA("TextLabel") then -- checks if any of the children is a 'TextLabel'
		if v.Text ~= "[No Player]" then -- checks if the text of any TextLabel is not "[No Player]"
			v.TextScaled = true -- sets 'TextScaled' to true
		end
	end
end

[BabyNinjaTime]

Try this:

local Frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("People")

for i, v in pairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do -- loops through all the instances under 'Frame'
	print("test")
	if v:IsA("TextLabel") then -- checks if any of the children is a 'TextLabel'
		if v.Text ~= "[No Player]" then -- checks if the text of any TextLabel is not "[No Player]"
			v.TextScaled = true -- sets 'TextScaled' to true
		end
		
		v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function() -- if any of the TextLabels 'Text' changes
			if v.Text ~= "[No Player]" then
				v.TextScaled = true
			end
		end)
	end
end

that fixed it!!
thank you so much
