how do i make it so that whenever i click the arrows that change the map image the map text below it also changes corresponding to the current image being shown

#

also "map 1" "map 2" "map 3" "map 4" are the names of the images

#

"MapTextLabel" is the name of the text that is meant to get changed

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

U want to change a map name corresponding to shown image?

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 7:41 PM

is this what u mean?

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

sly cloak is this what u mean?

First of all we have to start with some simple debugging

#

Add some print statements to each change and check the console whenever you press arrows

#

alr?

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

Well

#

I have a genue question

#

Is your code inside that Script?

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

then we'll see what's working and what's not

#

velvet wagon Is your code inside that **Script**?

.

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

Oh yeah it has to be a local script LOL

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

Duh

#

Server won't replicate any changes with UI because they're client sided

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

Didn’t notice that

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

oh

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

sly cloak oh

copy that code to local script

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

sly cloak oh

Its like saying to a server that it should change UI on his non existing monitor😭

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

yeah its on a localscript now

#

#

still doesent work

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

Kay.....

#

U got me there

#

Im bad at UI shi so gimme a moment

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

i asked ai assistant and it said it doesent work because map 1 and all other map arent in the datamodel context

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

Wait

#

Where are your maps in explorer

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

they are in a different frame under screen gui

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

Can u show me?

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 8:09 PM

#

the red is where the maps are and the pink is where the text and script is

inner pawnBOT Nov 3, 2025, 8:09 PM

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

local map1 = parent:FindFirstChild("map 1", true)

#

Add true for all of your maps

#

:FirstFirstChild() will look for a child inside of a screengui with a given name, but won't look inside of his children to find something with this name, theofore it will print nil

#

Atleast that's what i think

sly cloak Nov 3, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

wait a sec

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

:FindFirstChild() has two arguments to pass

(InstanceName: String, LookRecursively: Boolean)

And if u set this second to true it will look also inside of his children

#

U died bud?

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

sly cloak i asked ai assistant and it said it doesent work because map 1 and all other map...

ts guy knows how to use chatgpt @stray hare

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

LOL

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:24 PM

#

velvet wagon LOL

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

sly cloak wait a sec

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

#

stray hare Nov 3, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

velvet wagon He died after i gave him probably a reason

oh noice

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:28 PM

#

Its prolly cause the Image-Asset is invalid roblox uses the name as placeholder i think.

#

That also doesnt make sense cause the names are Map-number evilcat

#

Still its prolly the Image-Asset cause it works no?

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:30 PM

#

native dragon That also doesnt make sense cause the names are Map-`number` <:evilcat:116102721...

U meant the sentience that AI assistant responded with?

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

velvet wagon U meant the sentience that AI assistant responded with?

Correct Thumbs

#

But still it works or doesn't it?

#

It's just the image not loading correctly

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

evilcat

#

Sure...

#

Wasn't it a problem on binary level tho?

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

velvet wagon Wasn't it a problem on binary level tho?

maybe the roblox servers hes on are not working correctly hmm

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

native dragon maybe the roblox servers hes on are not working correctly<:hmm:10871597419580744...

Probably he got broken server and images doesn't load propertly. He should report this to roblox staff

#

Thumbs

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

We can tag this as solved Thumbs

velvet wagon Nov 3, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

Exactly! Thumbs

native dragon Nov 3, 2025, 8:37 PM

#
