Switching TextLabel text with clicking on a Part

Hi devs, I need help with a script. This script should switch the textlabel text from off to on, and from on to off. This is the script I tried:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text == "Alarm: OFF" then
		script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "Alarm: ON"
		print ("Alarm On")
	else
		script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "Alarm: OFF"
		print ("Alarm Off")
	end
end)

This is the explorer screenshot:

PCAlarm

(Nothing in the output)

Can you tell me what did I wrong? Thank you.

Nothing happens but the same script worked with the GUI as you can see at the left

#4

it’s probably something wrong with calling the function if there is no output

#5

idk, I tried your script in my studio and it working

For further debugging purposes, try this?

print("This should be running")

local Part = script.Parent
local TextLabel = Part.SurfaceGui.TextLabel

local function Clicked()
    print("Event fired")
	if TextLabel.Text == "Alarm: OFF" then
		TextLabel.Text = "Alarm: ON"
		print ("Alarm On")
	else
		TextLabel.Text = "Alarm: OFF"
		print ("Alarm Off")
	end
end)

Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(Clicked)

Is not working… nothing in the output too. Maybe there is a bug in my place, I do not know.
I’m going to try the script in another place

#8

Not working in another place too…

Are you sure you’re checking the correct Output side? You should be looking at the server’s Output (Or your Output tab)

#10

Yes it was the correct tab, I tried in the other place my script and it is working.

#11 
local toggle = false -- Will determine if it's on/off

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if not toggle then
		script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "Alarm: ON"
        toggle = true
		print ("Alarm On")
	else
		script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "Alarm: OFF"
        toggle = false
		print ("Alarm Off")
	end
end)

My script works, I think someone of my devs used a free model and it had a virus (I hope not) by the way thank you. I just tried my script in another place and, yes, it works.
