Smooth number increase

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to achive the smooth number increase like cookie clicker. For example if i have 100 cookies per second i want it to raise it to 100 in increments of one in only one second. If this is hard to understand just search upp cookie clicker and look for yourself. I have searched everywhere but i have not found anything that is what i am looking for. Please help.

You can use tweenservice.

I believe you could use Tweens to do this.

Here’s the documentation on them.

You can tween numbers. Example:

local NewValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")

local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(NewValue, TweenInfo.new(1), {Value = 100})

NewValue.Changed:Connect(function()
 print(NewValue.Value)
end)

Tween:Play()

If you were to test this you would see the number go up smoothly in the output tab.

I still dont really understand. How would i tween my current value so that it increases by my cps. The cps is not a set value so it does change. And my cps value is a numbervalue inside of replicated storage. How would i do that?

#6

Just change the NewValue variable to your cps variable

#7

i tried that but it didnt work. Also what do i change the print to in the changed function?

#8

Put the tween in a loop, this should update to your new CPS every second.

local Cookies = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").NumberValueHere
local CPS = 100

task.spawn(function() -- so that the script continues running
	while task.wait() do
		local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Cookies,TweenInfo.new(1), {Value = (CPS + Cookies)})
		Tween:Play()
		Tween.Completed:Wait()
	end
end)

the function is just there to show you that its going up smoothly

#10

could you show me what you have tried?

#11

I tried this but it said “Unable to cast value to Object” as an error. Heres the script:

task.spawn(function() – so that the script continues running
while task.wait() do
local Tween = game:GetService(“TweenService”):Create(chillis.Value,TweenInfo.new(1), {Value = (cps.Value + chillis.Value)})
Tween:Play()
Tween.Completed:Wait()
end

#12

do you know how to fix the problem?

#13

change chillis.Value to just chillis, the value part is handled in the 3rd parameter. You also forgot to add end)

#14

It says “attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on number and Instance”

#15

Just to clarify the cookie amount value is a leaderstats value (number value) and the cookies per second is a numbervalue inside replicated storage

#16

try changing Value = (cps.Value + chillis.Value) to Value += cps.Value . If that doesn’t work, add an extra line:

local newcookies = tonumber(cps.Value + chillis.Value)

And change Value = (cps.Value + chillis.Value) to Value = newcookies

#17

Thank you it works. But the number increases to what its supposed to go to but then stops for a tiny bit and then increases. For example lets say cookies per second is 5, then it goes to 5 then stops for like 0.01 sec and then goes to 10 and stops for 0.01 second. I think it has something to do with the “Tween.Completed:Wait()” but i tried removing that but then it just increased too fast.

#18

Which of the provided methods worked?

#19

the second one. (need to type this cause you need an amount characters to send mssg)

#20

wait i changed the tweeninfo time to 2 seconds and it worked.
