Need help setting up Kill Counter

[fallow sun]

Hello there , i already have a "Death" script and a "StarterGui" created , now my Problem is that my "kills" just count in the "main" interface instead of the "Gui" i made and i have no idea how to fix this, can someone maybe help? 🙂

you mean ur leaderstats are going up but the gui isnt?

[fallow sun]

exactly

i want to increase the "counter" in my GUI instead of the "normal" one on the right side

[gloomy oar]

you'd need to run a loop inside the textlabel that says while wait() do script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Kills.Value end

[fallow sun]

inside the Gui or the death script?

[gloomy oar]

gui

inside the textlabel

i am currently running this

local killsLabel = game.StarterGui.KillsLabel.Kills

local function updateKills(player)
local kills = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and player.leaderstats.Kills
if kills then
killsLabel.Text = "Kills: " .. kills.Value
end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
updateKills(player)
player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("leaderstats"):Connect(function()
updateKills(player)
end)
end)

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
updateKills(player)
end

[gloomy oar]

yeah maybe try player.leaderstats:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Kills")

[fallow sun]

u mean in this line?
player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("leaderstats"):Connect(function()
updateKills(player)

[gloomy oar]

yea

if that doesnt work honestly just delete the script and do what i first said

cuz that 40 line script is doable in like 3 lines

[fallow sun]

so editing " player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("leaderstats"):Connect(function()
updateKills(player)" this

to

player.leaderstats:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Kills")
    updateKills(player)

[gloomy oar]

yes

[fallow sun]

checking

nope :/

still my Gui at 0 and regular interface at +1

local killsLabel = game.StarterGui.KillsLabel.Kills

local function updateKills(player)
local kills = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and player.leaderstats.Kills
if kills then
killsLabel.Text = "Kills: " .. kills.Value
end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
updateKills(player)
player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("leaderstats"):Connect(function()
updateKills(player)
end)
end)

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
updateKills(player)
end

while true do
wait(1)
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
updateKills(player)
end
end

hope i set the "loop" you talked before right but its still not working like this

[gloomy oar]

while wait() do script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Kills.Value
end

[gloomy oar]

delete all that jargon and just put this local script inside of the textlabel

it will update the text

[fallow sun]

fixed thanks a lot !! ❤️
