So I have this script located in a textbox, located in a frame, located in a billboard gui, located in a players head. So any help with this script not working?
local character = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) Player.leaderstats.FirstName.Changed:Connect(function(newValue) if newValue == true then script.Parent.Text = Player.leaderstats.FirstName end end)
well you can
script.Parent.Text = Player.leaderstats.FirstName.Value
or
script.Parent.Text = newValue
FirstName is a StringValue object, yes?
It’s hard for us to tell without having access to the place but I’d start by throwing in some print statements so you can see what’s not working.
local character = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
Player.leaderstats.FirstName.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
print("Changed")
if newValue == true then
print("NewValue is true")
script.Parent.Text = Player.leaderstats.FirstName
end
end)
But I’m guessing your issue is with “if newValue == true then”. Instead of checking if it equals true, instead check if it exists. So try replacing that line with “if newValue then” and use those print statements to see what the output is telling you.
I totally forgot the mention the output error on the
`
Player.leaderstats.FirstName.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
`
remove the
if block
newValue is a string it will never == true
you can
if newValue then
but that is redundant since that’s why the event is firing.
local character = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
Player.leaderstats.FirstName.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
script.Parent.Text = newValue
end)
I got this now, what am I doing wrong?
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent local Character = player.Character script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() player.leaderstats.FirstName.Value = script.Parent.Text Character.Head.Title.F.T.Text = player.leaderstats.FirstName.Value.." "..player.leaderstats.LastName.Value end)
why is it now a Click event? i feel like you went backwards 
So the way I change the value of the name is by clicking a button, at first I tried to have it change when the text got updated, but now im trying to make it change when you actually click the name.
yeah. i had no luck though… 
well what is it you want to happen?
Your intention?
From your first post it looks like you have a name in leaderstats that you want to be shown above their head.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() -- Change to "Connect"
player.leaderstats.FirstName.Value = script.Parent.Text -- Put WaitForChild() on "leaderstats" and maybe "FirstName".
Character.Head.Title.F.T.Text = player.leaderstats.FirstName.Value.." "..player.leaderstats.LastName.Value
end)
Are you waiting for the leaderstats to exist? You probably should use WaitForChild().
connect is also deprecated, use Connect instead (Capitalize c)
Also, is this a local or server script?
its local, i tried all these and it hasn’t worked.
Why didnt you say so 
you can just do game.Players.LocalPlayer to get the local player, then from there:
game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats'):WaitForChild("FirstName").Value -- Will get the player's stat
(If I did something wrong or terrible, just quote me on it)
Oh my goodness, im so sorry, I meant server, i apologize for my mistake.
You can get the player via the click
Oh yeah, i forgot about that. thanks ill test it.
