I clearly said WITHOUT, please stop post hunting !

Of course you can, the scoreboard is just a resource that uses the element data.

guiSetText ( rankLabel, "Rank: " ..getElementData (localPlayer, "Rank") ) 

doesn't work..

[Castillo]

Why not? does it output something on debugscript?

I had a typo, fixed now. But if I want it to update my level every now and then, how would I do that? I know its with a timer, but I'm not so god with timers!
