Why is my change detection script not working?

Are you changing it after runtime? Also, changing it in the explorer IS changing it on the server

#22

No, changing in the explorer is client-sided unless they are directly on the server view.

#23

Hey is that a local script. Charrss

#24

When I go in game, or just view it on server, it never changes

#25

Dude first pls tell if itā€™s a local script. It can help us a lot to solve your problem.

#26

Did you make sure that the script is a server script and that the value is actually under the label? Also, mind sending us a video of you changing the value? Could be a problem with how youre doing it.

#27

It is a local script and its not being ran on StarterPlayer or Character Scripts

#28

Is their necessarily a correct way for this?

I just go into the properties of the value and then I change the value, but it never seems to have an effect on the text.

#29

Thank you now just take the code and put it in a normal script. It will work not even kidding.

#30

Well I learned that FunctionExectued never fireā€™s, and only finished executed

#31

Ok let me put this straight. The local script only works in a few places. Namely

StarterCharacterScripts
StarterPlayerScripts
GUIs (Not Surface Necessarily)
Tools

#32

Hm ok thts odd. Ok so in your runtime do this.

go to view> commandbar

Now you have a command bar down.
Now do this (make sure to do it in one line)

local ball = workspace.Part; local Value = ball.GUI.Cash;Cash.Value = 100

Replace workspace.Part to Your Reference.

#33

Also pls respond a bit fast itā€™s 6 here and I need to go to school :grimacing:

#34

It didnā€™t seem to update the value at all, should I try to make a script that just adds to the value every second?

#35

Ok letā€™s rewamp this up cause Iā€™m tired and Iā€™m in my lunch break xD.

Just create a part.add a ScreenGui then a surface gui. Then add a Int Value and Name it Cash.
Add a Text Label in the ScreenGUI and Name it Display. Position it as you need. now make 2 Scripts( not local Script plz). Name one Valuechanger
And Make one DisplayChanger. put DisplayChanger In the Ball not gui. Put the ValueChanger under the Value.

Now Paste this in ValueChanger.

local value = script.Parent

while wait(1) do
ValueChanger.Value += 100
end

Paste this in DisplayChanger

local GUI = script.Parent.ScreenGUI.GUI
local Value = script.Parent.Value

Value:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function ()
GUI.Text = tostring(Value.Value)
end)

Ok, so I learned it only worked whenever I added the value from a script that was a child of the Cash Instance.

ok great hope it helped. i think you need to hone on Referencing i guess :grimacing:
