Attempt To Call A Number Value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi everybody,
I’ve been having trouble understanding what’s going wrong in my code; I am trying to calculate ranks from a local script (with xp info sent via remote event).

Error: attempt to call a number value

local function setUpClientXp(xpAmount)
	local rank = xpAmount/1000
	local rankValue = ((rank - 0.5) - (rank - 0.5)%1) --Round our xp to nearest rank
	local currentRankXp
	
	if rankValue <1 then
		rankValue = 0
	else
		currentRankXp = xpAmount - (rankValue(rankValue+1000)/2) --Error occurs here
	end
end

I have tried the following:

  • Using string.format, except I need the variable in number form for calculating some extra goodies, I have also tried using tonumber afterward with no success
  • Replacing xpAmount with a number (to verify whether the info in remote event was not working)

This is probably a simple mistake on my end, but I’d really appreciate help.

Thanks for stopping by!

You are attempting to call it here. I am not sure what you were trying to do here. Perhaps multiply?

AAAAAAAAA, so that’s what it was. My small brain didn’t realize that multiplying with brackets in real life e.g. (4)(4) = 16, doesn’t always apply here. Thanks, I really appreciate the help!
