How do I have a text box change with # of players?

[Im_The_Glitch]

He said TEXT, not COUNTER (By the way, people have made ones with text

Okay and do you have any links for that? For the ones with text.

I know he said text I changed the overlay to text and it still worked @Lunatheflmsilk can you show me your layout and settings for all your devices?

[Lunatheflmsilk]

Which ones? The idea from you or the idea from Bird?

My idea

I made it so when a player enters the zone, the value increases, and when a player exists the zone, the value decreases. Here are screenshots of how I did this:

I made a zone, a spawn pad outside the zone, and a property called playersLeft. I also made another text box, which is hidden somewhere players can’t see. Here are the settings:

For the zone

For the updating text

For the property

For the hidden text

I made when receiving on channel “exit” the same, but with a - instead of a +.

I hope this helps you!

The counter can update a property that can update text ;-;

Just attach a wire repeater loop to the system.

or the property can transmit to the text device when it changes. Just a thought.

@Crimson_Knight

I think you have the text order backwards lol

@Gimkit_Lover

when a player enters the zone, the value increases, and when a player exists the zone, the value decreases

use a counter linked to the property instead of block code

Also Slim over here being a casual genius.

Ok here I go. The easiest solution to this would be having a one activation checkpoint placed where the people spawn in. Have that increment a counter and connect the counter with a property. The default value of the property is zero. Connect the property to the text device via block code and have one text box show just the number of people and place an entirely different text device next to the textbox displaying the number and have it say “number of players”.

You place two textboxes so that you don’t have to go through a lot more coding inside the block. Thus, preventing any more tears shed.
