Text is not reading Value after time

[Vanniris (Vanni)]

Change it to PlayerGui and you’re good to go. Except that script is atrocious.

Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui, not pure PlayerGui.

Your scripts need a lot of cleanup.

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

I don′t think so…

Note that the value now doesn′t change.

[Vanniris (Vanni)]

Combine what others said: Modify the value from the server, declare variables instead of doing script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent and whatever. Place IntValues in a folder in the Player instead of the PlayerGui, use task.wait() instead of wait(), and other stuff.

@Vanniris

Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

Heh heh, you forgot this. Maybe you didn’t see the edit.

Oh wait, it won’t do if you’re using a Script. Use a Localscript to declare LocalPlayer.

[Vanniris (Vanni)]

Actually I’ll do this for you. Give me a minute.

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

I used it…

[X0BaconHairDude0X (Azlayn)]

Can you show me all script that is needed for the value to change and change the text

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

The one that shows money

while true do
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value
end

The one that costs money

while true do
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.thegui.Money.Value -= 1
end

[X0BaconHairDude0X (Azlayn)]

try this for the showing script:

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
 script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value
end)

[mistkizuki]

You need to change the money from a serverscript, and when getting a player’s UI you wont be using StarterGui. You want to use PlayerGui since each player has their own.

So you should do this.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
task.spawn(function()
while wait(0.5) do
player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):WaitForChild('thegui').Money.Value -= 1
end
end
end

Your other script seems to work, but you should use GetPropertyChangedSignal as the other one could lead to a bad habit.

Same Result (Shows only one number)

[X0BaconHairDude0X (Azlayn)]

mabye make the values change on server script

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

It doesn’t matter. Previously, I made it on server side and the result was like on the first post…

[O3_O2]

The problem is that you are using a script instead of a localscript, and since youre chaning the value on a localscript it does not update the text to what it should be.

Basically, make the script a localscript instead.

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

It is a localscript.

You better look here.

[X0BaconHairDude0X (Azlayn)]

@Rekotora3349

while true do
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value
end

here try this but check the output

while true do
	wait(0.5)
        print("value changing")
	script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value
end

[domboss37 (TSL)]

Common misconception.

@mroaan

changed event works as if any property in the object has changed, while you could use it, but its still better to use :GetPropertyChangedSignal('Property') since it only fires when that specific property changes

In this case you’d be wrong, when you are using the .Changed on a “ValueObject” (like Int, StringValue, etc.) then the event only fires upon the Value' property change. So it’s actually better to use .Changed`, it’s shorter and automatically passes the new value

[mroaan (NightCode)]

Dam just read it in the documentation, thank you very much for this information, The more you know

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

Ye, the print is working…

[X0BaconHairDude0X (Azlayn)]

@X0BaconHairDude0X

while true do
	wait(0.5)
        print("value changing")
	script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value
end

NOW try this

while true do
	wait(0.5)
        print("value changing")
        print(script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value)
	script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Money.Value
end
