Textlabel and imagelabel values not changing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

im changing the text of the textlabel and the image of a imagelabel, but they are not changing with no errors, and they are printing “image” and “yooo” which means the code has been run this is my ONLY script that does stuff with GUI:

workspace.Lobbies.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if child:IsA("Folder") then
		print("yooo")
		local Clone = GroupFrame:Clone()
		Clone.Parent = JoinableLobbies
		GroupFrame.nameLabel.Text = child.Name
		
		for i,v in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
			print(v.Name, child.Name)
			if v.Name == child.Name then
				local image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(v.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
				GroupFrame.Leader.Image = image
				print("image")
			end
		end
	end
end)

bruh it works everytime a child is added after the first time but just NOT the first time, why?

#3

The script may be loading after the item already loaded. You have to do it for that case:

function initiate(child)
	if child:IsA("Folder") then
		print("yooo")
		local Clone = GroupFrame:Clone()
		Clone.Parent = JoinableLobbies
		GroupFrame.nameLabel.Text = child.Name

		for i,v in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
			print(v.Name, child.Name)
			if v.Name == child.Name then
				local image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(v.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
				GroupFrame.Leader.Image = image
				print("image")
			end
		end
	end
end

for _, child in workspace.Lobbies:GetChildren() do
	initiate(child)
end
workspace.Lobbies.ChildAdded:Connect(initiate)

Is this in a regular script or a local script?

the issue appears to be that the TextLabel and ImageLabel properties are not updating as expected, despite the code executing without errors, so, i recode the script, also, i improved some stuff, making it more long, here:

-- references
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

-- gui
local PlayerGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local JoinableLobbies = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("JoinableLobbies") -- Adjust this path as necessary
local GroupFrame = JoinableLobbies:WaitForChild("GroupFrame") -- Template frame to clone

-- lobby creation mechanic
local function onLobbyAdded(child)
    if child:IsA("Folder") then
        print("New lobby detected:", child.Name)
        
        -- temp frame clone
        local clone = GroupFrame:Clone()
        clone.Parent = JoinableLobbies
        clone.Name = child.Name
        
        -- namelabel updater
        local nameLabel = clone:FindFirstChild("nameLabel")
        if nameLabel and nameLabel:IsA("TextLabel") then
            nameLabel.Text = child.Name
        else
            warn("nameLabel not found or is not a TextLabel in clone:", clone.Name)
        end
        
        -- update the Leader image
        local leaderImage = clone:FindFirstChild("Leader")
        if leaderImage and leaderImage:IsA("ImageLabel") then
            for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
                if player.Name == child.Name then
                    local userId = player.UserId
                    local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
                    local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
                    local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
                    if isReady then
                        leaderImage.Image = content
                        print("Updated leader image for:", player.Name)
                    else
                        warn("Thumbnail not ready for player:", player.Name)
                    end
                    break
                end
            end
        else
            warn("Leader ImageLabel not found or is not an ImageLabel in clone:", clone.Name)
        end
    end
end

-- connect the function to the ChildAdded event
workspace.Lobbies.ChildAdded:Connect(onLobbyAdded)
