I’m accepting a value from the client that is expected to be a number, and I would like to verify that it is in fact a number from the server to avoid attacks that rely on causing an error. Currently, I’m using type(parameter) to determine what it is, but I don’t know what to compare it to. Is there an enum I can use? i.e. if type(parameter) == Enum.Type.Number then

if tonumber(1) ~= nil then
--do stuff
end
that is how you can do it with tonumber
Oh, I thought that would error if it received an invalid argument. Is there any case in which that would error?
Use tonumber. I actual answered a similar question, over in this post

no, there is no error that this would cause
type and typeof return strings
print(typeof(CFrame)) --> CFrame
print(type("a")) --> string
Gotcha. I see now that using type and typeof on itself returns string. Always assumed it was an enum
