#

im making all of france and it takes a long time to name the cities is there a script i can put here to change text?

#

I want to put a script there

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 3:35 AM

#

craggy blade

i found a different way to do it, and its in one script

#

-- Table of city names (can be changed at any time)
local CityNames = {
    Paris = "country",
    Orleans = "america",
    Orleans2 = "australia2"
}

-- Function to update the TextLabels for all cities
local function UpdateCityNames()
    local parent = script.Parent
    -- Paris
    local Paris = parent:FindFirstChild("Paris")
    if Paris and Paris:FindFirstChild("Attachment") and Paris.Attachment:FindFirstChild("BillboardGui") and Paris.Attachment.BillboardGui:FindFirstChild("TextLabel") then
        Paris.Attachment.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = CityNames.Paris or "Paris"
    end

    -- Orleans
    local Orleans = parent:FindFirstChild("Orleans")
    if Orleans and Orleans:FindFirstChild("Attachment") and Orleans.Attachment:FindFirstChild("BillboardGui") and Orleans.Attachment.BillboardGui:FindFirstChild("TextLabel") then
        Orleans.Attachment.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = CityNames.Orleans or "Orleans"
    end

    -- Orleans2
    local Orleans2 = parent:FindFirstChild("Orleans 2")
    if Orleans2 and Orleans2:FindFirstChild("Attachment") and Orleans2.Attachment:FindFirstChild("BillboardGui") and Orleans2.Attachment.BillboardGui:FindFirstChild("TextLabel") then
        Orleans2.Attachment.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = CityNames.Orleans2 or "Orleans 2"
    end
end

-- Call once on script run
UpdateCityNames()

-- Example: Change names at runtime
-- CityNames.Paris = "New Paris"
-- CityNames.Orleans = "New Orleans"
-- CityNames.Orleans2 = "New Orleans 2"
-- UpdateCityNames()

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 3:53 AM

#

nvm

#

its cos like i wanted a script so like i can paste it into a city and i customize the name fast instead of having to go to properties and stuff

#

but ngl i got used to it

#

already

#

but i still have a lot of questions

#

ill ping when i ask the question cos i kinda forgot

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 3:55 AM

craggy blade ill ping when i ask the question cos i kinda forgot

lol

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 3:56 AM

oh ok

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:00 AM

#

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:01 AM

#

craggy blade its cos like i wanted a script so like i can paste it into a city and i customiz...

yea, thats one way of doing it but what cant you group all of the cities together and put a server script in the model? its so much quicker if u want to rename things

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:02 AM

#

vagrant cliff so this is what the city name children look like?

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:02 AM

#

vagrant cliff yea, thats one way of doing it but what cant you group all of the cities togethe...

nah im new to this its too complicated

#

btw

#

im trying to make a rts game based of nations roleplay remastered but a little more complex

#

like war system instead of troops painting the map for you

#

and factories

carmine ivyBOT Nov 4, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

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

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

and land gives you natural resourses

#

to use in factories

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:05 AM

#

craggy blade nah im new to this its too complicated

ur new to studio?

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:05 AM

#

craggy blade

no like can u show me all of the children in "City"

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:05 AM

#

yeah i have no experience

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:05 AM

#

craggy blade yeah i have no experience

any experience at game development at all?

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:05 AM

#

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

craggy blade

oh ok thx

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

vagrant cliff any experience at game development at all?

nope but i used to make really good maps in fortnite

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

craggy blade nope but i used to make really good maps in fortnite

well thats something

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

vagrant cliff oh ok thx

its alright i dont need a script to name them its better to do it manually

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

craggy blade nope but i used to make really good maps in fortnite

like with the old command items or whatever like dance and it spawns guns

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

craggy blade its alright i dont need a script to name them its better to do it manually

no, trust me its not

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

craggy blade like with the old command items or whatever like dance and it spawns guns

oh cool

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

its cos im gonna make all of europe

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

craggy blade its cos im gonna make all of europe

tbh if ur new to studio, you should probably like learn a bit of scripting and modeling

#

dont learn both forget what i just said

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

yeah i have been trying

#

to learn scripting

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

craggy blade yeah i have been trying

like yt tutorials?

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:08 AM

#

yeah

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:08 AM

#

craggy blade yeah

oh ok

#

id reccomend, you learn something, then mess around with it for a day

#

so you reinforce ur learning

#

biggest mistake ive done

#

i wasted a whole year because of that

craggy blade Nov 4, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

because theres this game on roblox with so much potental called nations roleplay remastered almost reaching 1k players yet it is VERY wonky and horribly made

vagrant cliff Nov 4, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

craggy blade because theres this game on roblox with so much potental called nations rolepla...
