Winner UI Not Showing Up

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want the winner UI (WinnerLabel) to display on the screen when a player wins a round

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

The UI doesn’t appear on the screen, even though the event prints correctly in the output. The label is visible in Roblox Studio, and no errors are shown

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
  • Checked that WinnerLabel exists in the UI and is set to visible in studio
  • Confirmed ResetOnSpawn = false on the ScreenGui
  • Verified the event is firing and prints the winner in the output
  • Checked TextTransparency and BackgroundTransparency are both 0
  • Confirmed the UI is parented to PlayerGui
  • Tried forcing visibility using winnerLabel.Visible = true

Here’s the relevant client side script that handles the UI:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RoundStatusEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RoundStatusEvent")
local FlagEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FlagEvent")

local ui = script.Parent
local roundStatusLabel = ui:FindFirstChild("RoundStatus")
local flagHolderLabel = ui:FindFirstChild("FlagHolderLabel")
local winnerLabel = ui:FindFirstChild("WinnerLabel")

local function updateRoundStatus(status, timeLeft, gameMode)
	if roundStatusLabel then
		if status == "Intermission" then
			roundStatusLabel.Text = "Intermission: " .. timeLeft .. "s\nNext Mode: " .. gameMode
			if flagHolderLabel then flagHolderLabel.Text = "" end
			if winnerLabel then winnerLabel.Text = "" end
		elseif status == "RoundStarting" or status == "RoundInProgress" then
			roundStatusLabel.Text = "Mode: " .. gameMode .. "\nTime Left: " .. timeLeft .. "s"
		elseif status == "RoundEnded" then
			roundStatusLabel.Text = "Round Over! Restarting..."
		end
	end
end

local function updateFlagHolder(playerName)
	if flagHolderLabel then
		flagHolderLabel.Text = " " .. playerName .. " has the flag!"
		task.spawn(function()
			task.wait(3)
			flagHolderLabel.Text = ""
		end)
	end
end

local function announceWinner(playerName)
	if winnerLabel then
		print("Winner announcement received for:", playerName)
		winnerLabel.Text = "Winner: " .. playerName .. "!"
		winnerLabel.Visible = true
		task.wait(5)
		winnerLabel.Visible = false
	end
end


RoundStatusEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(updateRoundStatus)

FlagEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(eventType, data)
	print("Client received event: ", eventType, data)
	if eventType == "FlagHolder" then
		updateFlagHolder(data)
	elseif eventType == "FlagWinner" then
		print("Announcing Winner:", data)
		announceWinner(data)
	end
end)

And here’s the server-side script that fires the event:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ShowBannerEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("ShowBannerEvent") or Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)
ShowBannerEvent.Name = "ShowBannerEvent"

local function announceWinner(flagHolder)
    if flagHolder then
        print("FlagWinner event fired for:", flagHolder.Name)
        ShowBannerEvent:FireAllClients(flagHolder.Name)
    end
end

Are there any yield problems? Maybe the UI did not load in time.

#3

nope there are no warnings nor errors :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Hi @zpapapn

I found Error:
Your first argument is wrong because on client it will check player’s name instead of FlagWinner so announceWinner(data) function would not go through

Solution

Edit i misspelled

 ShowBannerEvent:FireAllClients("FlagWinner",flagHolder.Name)
