    while true do
        button.Text = deck.Value
        print("constant")
        task.wait(0.01)
    end```
the text does not update. It only updates once at the start

[river monolith]

is this a local script?

Also give me the full script pls

[jagged condor]

no i put it directly inside the leaderstats

    local f = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
    f.Name = "leaderstats"
    local luc = Instance.new("IntValue", f)
    luc.Name = "Luck"
    luc.Value = 1
    local deck = Instance.new("StringValue", f)
    deck.Name = "Deck Card #1"
    deck.Value = "None"
    local deck2 = Instance.new("StringValue", f)
    deck2.Name = "Deck Card #2"
    deck2.Value = "None"
    local Credits = Instance.new("IntValue", f)
    Credits.Name = "Credits"
    Credits.Value = 0
    local energy = Instance.new("IntValue", f)
    energy.Name = "Energy"
    energy.Value = 0
    local button = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ImageButton.TextLabel
    while true do
        button.Text = deck.Value
        print("constant")
        task.wait(0.01)
    end
    
end)```

idk why it updates just that once

but the print keeps printing

[river monolith]

local playergui = plr.PlayerGui

USE THIS TO GET THE GUIS INSTEAD OF STARTERGUI

[jagged condor]

[river monolith]

Don't worry your mind develops depends on the hardthings you put it on

[jagged condor]

ok

thanks

ive only been doing this for half a year

[river monolith]

[jagged condor]

i had to use waitforchild but it works thx so much

[river monolith]

Also

don't do it with a while loop, detect when the value has changed with .Changed

[jagged condor]

ok

[river monolith]

yes

[jagged condor]

at the start tho the value doesnt change right

[river monolith]

[jagged condor]

[river monolith]

Maybe try it

[jagged condor]
