StringValue not displaying

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a script that cycles through various decals on each click, and saves it into a StringValue (named SValue.) When I click, it doesn’t add to the StringValue; it leaves it blank. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

local ImageButton = script.Parent
local NomButtonGui = ImageButton.Parent
local SValue = NomButtonGui.Screen1Value 

value = 1

ImageButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
		if (value < 5) then
			value = (value + 1)
		else value = 1
	end
	
	if value == 1 then
		SValue.Value = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821413675")
	elseif value == 2 then
		SValue.Value = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821413941")
	elseif value == 3 then
		SValue.Value = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821414237")
	elseif value == 4 then
		SValue.Value = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821414523")
	elseif value == 5 then
		SValue.Value = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821414820")
		
	end
end)

I ran it in my own studio and it seems to be working. A couple of things I suggest are:

  • Make sure its a string value and not another kind like a number value
  • Try doing a different event type

If both of these don’t work bring up the console by clicking view then Output. Try to find the error from there.

Really? Oh, strange. Guess I didn’t have anything wrong after all. Thanks anyway!

This morning when I ran it in my studio, the same error occurs. Could I see the way you placed the StringValue in your Workspace to get it to work?

My code is this:

local ImageButton = script.Parent
local NomButtonGui = ImageButton.Parent
local SValue = NomButtonGui.Screen1Value

value = 1

ImageButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if (value < 5) then
			value = (value + 1)
		else value = 1
	end
	
	if value == 1 then
		SValue.Value = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821413675"
	elseif value == 2 then
		SValue.Value = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821413941"
	elseif value == 3 then
		SValue.Value = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821414237"
	elseif value == 4 then
		SValue.Value = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821414523"
	elseif value == 5 then
		SValue.Value = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4821414820"
		
	end
end)

My objects are laid out like this:

You need to also make sure when you are checking to see if the string value is changing to check the PlayerGui and not the StarterGui
