Players.manuelprocrack.PlayerGui.Dialog.Frame.Text.DisplayText:25: attempt to index string with 'Text'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make when a player chats in the chat. It runs the script and it passes it to a gui something like this

https://gyazo.com/14579e66e73ade53f1ae8046537be590

The problem I manually added the name so I want to add the name to see who is talking

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	for _, v in pairs(peopleallowed) do    
		if v == player.Name then
			name.Text = player.Name
			displayDialog(msg)  
			print(msg)
		end    
	end    
end)

Any help will be appreciated :slight_smile:

I don’t think there is anything wrong with the script, are you using another ui to display the text other than the one with the white background?

#3

Can I see what the displayDialouge function says?

#4

I forgot to mention the error oops Players.manuelprocrack.PlayerGui.Dialog.Frame.Text.DisplayText:25: attempt to index string with 'Text'

#5

Its a typewritting effect nothing special

#6

Just detect the player.Name and send it to the ui text label right?

#7 
name.Text = player.Name
#8

That is the part where the error happens

#9

Yes, but where did you define name, try script.Parent.Text = player.Name

#10

From the player name? player.Name?

#11

Your trying to check the player name, and change the text of the gui label to the name of the player name right?

The Solution was i was trying to indexing with a in built property so roblox though that name was a property so it index to nil so I just changed the variable name and it now works thanks for the help!
