GUI Label text not showing

[subtle coral]

I am a new scripter and am trying to make a textlabel show up when it enters and invisible part. I checked to make sure the player is touching the part and to see whether the gui was enabled and they both are but it still doesnt show the text

[vernal panther]

game.StarterGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild(“TextLabel”)

also, id name your screengui and text label for organisation

Is the TextLabel still transparent? Dont see you set TextLabel transparency to 0

[subtle coral]

i did that but it still doesnt pop up

[subtle coral]

the textlabels transparency is set to 0

Nothing printing in the output?

[subtle coral]

i made it so that if the text is enabled it will print text is equal to true in the output and it does print that which means it is enabled but it still doesnt show the textlabel

[waxen bear]

If nothings print it means the text label is probably not enabled so you may have directed your instances wrongly

Try to put a print after the first text.Enabled in the function

Oh no wait actually

Try to replace line 2 and 5 with that

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local text = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local textLabel = text:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

That’s because you can’t access the « StarterGui » on client side, you need to access it in a Player

Also if the local script is loaded before the Folder in your workspace it won’t work
Try do that
local block = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Folder"):WaitForChild("block")

i just realised he may be editing startergui not the playergui

local textLabel = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")

[vernal panther]

what he did here actually

i didnt read
