So I am pretty new to scripting and I tried to do a script for the first time without any help from a reference. I tried to do it so that if you click a UI it gives you a “coin”. However I tried out this script in the button but it did not change to 1.

Everything in StarterGui it’s automatically cloned to the PlayerGui when the game runs. Instead you can use Player.PlayerGui or use script.Parent to localize the button.

As @Sarchyx stated, use script.Parent, as it is the easiest. So the code should be.
local NumberofCoins = script.Parent.NumberOfCoins
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
NumberofCoins.Text = 1
end)

I put it under the ScreenGUI and did what you said but it still does not work

local NumberofCoins = script.Parent.NumberOfCoins
print("This is online and working")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
print("Event fired")
NumberofCoins.Text = "1"
end)
Can you check your Output for any odd instances?
why not use parenting like @Amazin_Builds, @JackscarIitt and @Sarchyx said? Try this @BellingerMyBro
local N.Text = 0
local N = script.parent.parent.NumberofCoins
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
N.Text = N.Text +1
end)
and where exactly did you put your script? I cant see it in the Explorer
no because StarterGUI is not in the workspace? So how exactly would that work? it doesnt

Where’s the place of script? <-----------
Do you want When player click at the button. he gets a coin! and text will be changing after that???
Can you example the thing clearly… <--------------
-
I have my script under the screen GUI but not under the text button
-
Yes
-
When I click the button the text does not change to ‘1’ which is what I want it to do.
You mean under StarterPack?
I don’t know actually.
if you want a gui button. when player click it. he gets a coin.
or player have to tap at screen.
Well try this code.
If didn’t work
tell me!
local NumberOfCoins = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild("NumberOfCoins") -- Wait for the thing to be loaded.
local working = true -- Things working fine.
warn(working) -- will show message at output. it's working.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- When player clicks.
if NumberOfCoins.Text == "0" then -- Checking if the text is still at 0.
NumberOfCoins.Text = "1" -- Making it to 1.
else -- returning
NumberOfCoins.Text = "0" -- If it's still 0. then it will try to change it!
end
end)
-- ends

so u put the script under the screengui so now define it not by using startergui but do script.parent.CoinGiver

i think TextButtons use .Activated instead of .mousebutton1click
I tried this script out but it isn’t changing the text. The output however says true.
I also changed the fifth line to game.StarterGui because the parent of the script was ScreenGui but i don’t think that would affect it.
Ok tell me.
1- Do you want player to tap at screen to get coin?
2- or a button gui to get the coin.
Did you place the script at starterpack.
its a button gui and yes i placed in the starterpack
1- Add ScreenGui.
2- Add a textlabel.
3- Add local script at it.
Here’s the script
while wait() do
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Text = “Coins:”…plr:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”):FindFirstChild(“Coins”).Value – Checks the coins at leaderstats value. to change the text as the same value.
end
–Change coins to your value name. don’t forget that!
–Did you create leaderstats for that. [This is a important thing]
Wait Im a bit confused? did you want me to put the text label in a seperate screenGui or the same one?
here ill send a screenshot
1- Did you create leaderstats first for coins.
2- Do you want to make simulator game??
