I watched it but it still doesn’t answer my question since you’re making the text blocks by code, I just want to set their visibility and edit the text (i already made the canvas and text blocks)

That’s the point, you have to do it via code though. I have no idea how to do it otherwise, I don’t think you can.

Create a method like this to convert the text from a string to a message type:
SetDynamicText<localizes>(Value:string) : message = "{Value}"

Then when you want to update the text, call SetText on the text block:
_textWiget.SetText(SetDynamicText("Dynamic Text!"))

And then to change a wiget’s visibility, call SetVisibility on your canvas:

_canvas.SetVisibility(widget_visibility.Visible)
_canvas.SetVisibility(widget_visibility.Hidden)

That’s great but I don’t know how to call it on my script. do I make an @editable and call it like that

I understand the code but what I don’t understand is how do i define it. Do i just do _textWidget (replace that with text block bame) or do i need to do anything else before that
