Setting text on label

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer


local function updateText(player)
	script.Parent.Text = player:WaitForChild("Values"):WaitForChild("Dimes").Value
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	updateText(player)
end)

player:WaitForChild("Values"):WaitForChild("Dimes"):GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	updateText(player)
end)

This isnt showing the value of the Dimes.

What happens if you try using “:FindFirstChild()”?

#3

[13:16:57.327 - FindForChild is not a valid member of Player “Players.U_npluggedDev”]

#4

oop, i said the wrong thing i said for

#5

the text still just said 0 which is what I have it at defaultly

#6

I have like 15 of these, and when one fails the rest work, but if none fail none work.

#7

Can you show us the layout of the player?

#8

Also, you misspelled :FindFirstChild() in the first post. You spelled it FindForChild, it’s FindFirstChild()

#9

All of the currencies are in a folder in the player called “Values”. When the value changes, the text works but until it changes it shows 0.

#10

Yeah I noticed and I fixed it, and it still didnt work.

#11

What kind of value is “Dimes”?

#12

Dimes is an int value which is instancesd.

#13

Wait, so now I’m confused. What seems to be the problem? It says here that when the value changes, the text works.

#14

The :GetPropertyChangedSignal() method doesn’t work for specific properties I believe - such as Value. You will need to use the .Changed event in order to do this.

Try this to update the amount of Dimes:

player:WaitForChild("Values"):WaitForChild("Dimes").Changed:Connect(function(property)
    if property == "Value" then
        script.Parent.Text = player.Values.Dimes.Value
    end
end)

Also I don’t think the PlayerAdded is necessary, and the updateText function seemed a little redundant, so I just shortened this down - of course you can choose how you ultimately want to do this, too - just my suggestions.

So play the game and press add next to all of the currencies, then leave so it saves, then rejoin and youll see the problem Money Project - Roblox

#16

No, get property changed signal works fine, its the playerAdded thing thats not working.

#17

Uh, alright. I’ll do that. But if it’s like that, wouldn’t it be a datastore problem or something? Not sure, lemme test it.

#18

its not, since once you click Add or Remove(the 2 buttons) then it changes to the old value +1 or -1 cause add or remove

#19

Ah, so you’re saying that when you rejoin the game, it doesn’t go back to the old one until you add or remove some

#20

Yeah, every time you join it says 0 until you change the value.
