Unexpected GUI behaviour

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want the TextLabel to only appear once in the logging system.

  2. What is the issue?
    The textLabel is duplicating which is weird.
    For example, this is what I am expecting:

[user] is on a streak of [number]!

What I’m getting:

[user] is on a streak of [number]!
[user] is on a streak of [number]!
[user] is on a streak of [number]!
[user] is on a streak of [number]!
  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I have not tried any solutions so far.

I theorise that the RemoteEvent might be firing multiple times, causing this behaviour to occur. I could be wrong so yea…

this is the code that i wrote:

numOfPushes.Changed:Connect(function()
    local pushVal = tostring(numOfPushes.Value)
                                        
    if streakNumbers[pushVal] then
        Remotes.onKillStreak:FireAllClients(
            otherPlayer.DisplayName, numOfPushes.Value
        )
     end
end)

-- local script
Remotes.onKillStreak.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plrName, val)
        local Yeet = Death.Yeet

        local clone = Death.Killed:Clone()
        clone.Parent = Yeet
        clone.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(254, 240, 0)
        clone.Text = string.format("<b>%s</b> is on a pushing streak of <b>%d+</b>! " .. epikWords[math.random(1, #epikWords)], plrName, val)
        
        SoundService["bowl"]:Play()

        task.wait(6)

        clone.Text = ""
        clone:Destroy()
end)

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Just to clarify, does it duplicate more than once after the first time, or does it duplicate more than once the first time?

This code, can be changed to the following:

numOfPushes:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    local pushVal = tostring(numOfPushes.Value)
                                        
    if streakNumbers[pushVal] then
        Remotes.onKillStreak:FireAllClients(
            otherPlayer.DisplayName, numOfPushes.Value
        )
     end
end)

Appreciate the help so far, but unfortunately did not.
The first streak is detected once someone reaches 5.

I put a print statement for debugging and found it had printed 4 times, meaning the streak message showed up 4 times.

oh nah, i just wrote “i have been summoned!” in the code for debugging so it’s not a virus or anything just to let you know.
