So there's a ready piece of text for text elements:
<TextFieldName:Text>And it always causes compilation errors for both the GUI and Overlay elements:

You need to replace this with your actual text field name you placed in the GUI, it is only a placeholder
how exactly? <TextFieldName:[My name]>?
or <[MyName]:Text>?
PLEASE HELP HOW DO I DO IT
NVM FIGURED IT OUT
Just type like such:
So just dont use the colon. Gonna test if this works rn.
Nope, it writes something like "net.v something.mcreator" and something and then goes off the screen.
god how do i do it??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
YESSS I MADE IT WORK!
Just make it like this:
Note: TN is the name of your textfield. It MUST exist first or errors will pop up until you make one with that name as its machine name.
Note: for whatever reason text MUST be after the textfield name.
But, most importantly, it works.
