Status Value not showing on gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a killer game but i need two players to start the round. The round system works but the GUI says status instead of the message I wrote which is that 2 players are needed to start the game.
When there is only 1 player it just shows “status” The other GUIs work I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
In replicated storage the status value was changed but the GUI does not.

-- Server
	if #game.Players:GetPlayers() < PlayersToStart then
		repeat 
			print(PlayersToStart.."Players are needed to start the round!")
			Status.Value = PlayersToStart.."Players are needed to start the round!"
			wait(0.1)
		until #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= PlayersToStart
	end

--Client
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Status = replicatedStorage.Values:WaitForChild("Status")
Status:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()

	script.Parent.ScreenGui.GameStatus.Text = Status.Value
end)

Hey! Would you be able to add a print inside of the getpropertychanged and let me know if that prints?
And if so, are you making sure that you’re accessing the correct gui and changing the correct items text?

#3

use Status.Changed instead, and it will sort the Value as an arg like so

Status.Changed:Connect(function(val)
script.Parent.ScreenGui.GameStatus.Text = val
end)

It did not print anything when i tried but I think it is because it is a local script.

#5

using .changed gave the same result as getpropertychanged

#6

that wouldn’t fix the problem, but when if you’re able to use the Changed Event use it instead of GetPropertyChangedSignal.
also try to add a print after the value changes and see if the localscript detects it.

#7

do i put the print in the local script or server script

#8

local script after it detects when the value changes.

#9

i put it after the value change line. It is not printing anything.

#10

can you put it outside? and check if it prints?

#11

It does when i put it outside.

#12

I also found out that using changed breaks all the gui

#13

I already had a similar problem, the issue is replicatedstorage you can try to put the “status” in the workspace to see if it works.

#14

I tried it didn’t work sadly it was working with propertychangedsignal pretting odd how it breaks with changed

#15

Did you find a solution? The strange thing about all this is that your change script with propertychangedsignal works correctly for me

#16

maybe cuz you’re just spamming the status value try putting the status value outside of the repeat loop

if #game.Players:GetPlayers() < PlayersToStart then
			Status.Value = PlayersToStart.."Players are needed to start the round!"
		repeat 
			print(PlayersToStart.."Players are needed to start the round!")
			wait(0.1)
		until #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= PlayersToStart
	end
#17

nope it still just says status :frowning: no errors also

#18

Try to change it directly from the server, it’s kind of bad, but that’s what we have

if #game.Players:GetPlayers() < PlayersToStart then
	repeat 
		print(PlayersToStart.." Players are needed to start the round!")
		local Children = game.Players:GetChildren()
		for i = 1, #Children do
			Children[i].PlayerGui.ScreenGui.GameStatus.Text = PlayersToStart.." Players are needed to start the round!"
		end
		wait(0.1)
	until #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= PlayersToStart
end
#19

tysm! it worked i had to add a wait for child though.
