Help with properties and text objects

I have these “plots” and you claim them, and I have a text objects to show the user who claimed that plot, but it doesn’t seem to update when they claim it even though I set a trigger loop to broadcast on “update” every second. I have blocks to set text to property “Plot #”
in my head it works perfectly but I guess it doesn’t

What kind of property is it?

text


and it has to work because claiming plots works, and it uses the properties

and then you can add text right?

Wait, are you trying to display the player’s name? You need to use the “Triggering Player’s Name” block somewhere.

sure thing
if it’s sloppy that’s because gimkit doesn’t allow what I want easier

JUST HOW DOESN’T THIS WORK, this system works with the properties, but like, IDK anymore

Uhhh, I don’t think you need to THAT much code :sob:

You’re just changing a text property to the player’s name, right? There’s no need to check if the player’s name isn’t there because you can’t change the plot’s ownership after the first name change, right?

well I had it simpler but then they could claim more than one plot

sorry :​P

So just use the same code? Are you tracking the amount of plots they HAVE all the time?

no, they all can only claim one plot, and the text objects should show who owns what, basically when you walk near the plot there’s a text objects that should update to show who owns it

sorry if I’m extremely un clear

It updates when you walk near? Does it not display the name all the time?

it does, but like I mean you see it when you walk near. also, there’s a trigger loop that doesn’t seem to start (it broadcasts update and logs plot owners, but I don’t see either happening)

Hmm… It should just be that the property changes to the Triggering Player’s Name and the Text Box reflects that.

the other code is checks so you claim 1 plot, and to kick from other ppls plots

Then what is all of THAT :sob:
