Part counter UI not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
PartCounter = 0
KeyPressed = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		KeyPressed = true
		while KeyPressed == true do
			wait()
			local part = Instance.new("Part")
			part.Position = Vector3.new(-12.078, 36.522, 34.601)
			part.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
			part.Parent = game.Workspace
			PartCounter = PartCounter + 1
			game.StarterGui.PartCounterUI.Number.Text = PartCounter
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		KeyPressed = false
	end
end)

so basically i made a UI to show the players how many parts they have spawned, i can say print(PartCounter) but then they wont be able to see how many parts they have spawned so idk what to do.

You should be changing the text in the player’s playergui not startergui

You can’t use game.StarterGui.

There is 2 ways to fix this, I’m going to show you the easier way.

Replace the quoted part with:

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    v.PlayerGui.PartCounterUI.Number.Text = PartCounter
end

The other way uses a RemoteEvent.

I’m not sure if your script is a LocalScript or a script, but I assume a normal script.
