Hello, i was wondering how on some GUI's when you join the game it says like "Loading Bricks" then it changes to "Loading scripts". What script do they use to make the words change?

You edit the Text property of any GUI element that contains it.

local Label = script.Parent
Label.Text = "Hello World!"

"What script do they use"

Why do people think there is a specific script for stuff...There is not script unless you make it. And there are many ways to make A script...

I meant like, what was inside the script? Like how do you make a script that makes the words appear then disappear and different words appear on a gui?

you need to learn how to script first.

All i want is a simple script that makes a textbox appear, then after a couple seconds it disappears and a new ones appear. You do not really need to learn scripting for guis, like a close button is simple.

You make it. If it's simple you should be able to make it.

you can't make that happen without knowing how to script.

You're being ignorant. You obviously can't do this yourself, and we can't nor would we write up a script for you. My suggestion is to start learning the basics of scripting if you're serious about it. Otherwise, let this thread die.

I'm not being rude. I am just wondering why we should tolerate a person coming on an expecting us to script for them. Especially when they put no prior effort in.

don't know why you need it but here you go:
sorry if theres any mistakes i didn't test it.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local text = "Loading scripts..."
local loadtime = 8

asdf = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
asdf2 = Instance.new("TextLabel")

asdf.Parent = player.PlayerGui
asdf2.Parent = asdf

asdf2.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
asdf2.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,1)
asdf2.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
asdf2.Text = text
asdf2.Font = 1
asdf2.FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size48
wait(loadtime)
asdf2.Visible = false

make sure its in a localscript in startergui

Holy crap... I tried, and mine looks alot different from yours. I just came back from a year and 1/2 quit so idk if lua has changed? But i will show you mine i guess just for the hell of it. Alright so here was the gui setup
StarterGui>Frame>>Script+Text+Textbox

Here is the script:

Textbox1 = script.Parent.Text.Visible
Textbox2 = script.Parent.Textbox.Visible

wait (0.5)
Textbox1 = true -- Loading Cars
wait (1.5)
Textbox1 = false -- Closing the textbox
wait (0.1)
Textbox2 = true -- Loading Map
wait (1.5)
Textbox2 = false -- Closing the textbox

it should be:

Textbox1 = script.Parent.Text
Textbox2 = script.Parent.Textbox

wait (0.5)
Textbox1.Visible = true -- Loading Cars
wait (1.5)
Textbox1.Visible = false -- Closing the textbox
wait (0.1)
Textbox2.Visible = true -- Loading Map
wait (1.5)
Textbox2.Visible = false -- Closing the textbox

and your frame should be in a ScreenGui otherwise it wont show up.
i also suggest you make the wait time longer
