I added the line of code to the message

#25

Pretty much:

local new = tostring(steps.Text - 1)

steps.Text = new

Im dumb LOl

#26

Still gives same error, didn’t help anything.

#27

you can’t set variables with if then end conditions.
Adding conditions to variables is slightly different.
they don’t use if statements at the beginning and if you want or statements you need to contain them in
parenthesis, because or is used to assign different variables to it if the first returns nil.
you can use booleans to assign numbers to variables with an and statement.

steps.Text = (Found or "nil") and "inf" or tostring(data[stagetrans.Text])

try removing the tostrings from the code

#32

Attempt to perform arithmetic (sub) on string and number

#33 
tostring(tonumber(steps.Text) - 1))
#34

attempt to perform arithmetic (sub) on nil and number

#35

can you show me the text of Steps.Text?

#36

When I am in the safezone its “NIL”

#37

and out of safe zone, what does it say

#38

Nil still because it breaks the entire script due to roblox stopping the script whenever theres an error

#39

try this:

while task.wait(.1) do
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
		if steps.Text == 'NIL' then return end
		local new = tostring(tonumber(steps.Text) - 1)
		player.PlayerGui.StepsGUI.Frame.TextLabel.Text = text
		if new <= 15 then
			steps.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.866667, 0, 0.0156863)
			steps.Parent.ImageLabel.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(0.866667, 0, 0.0156863)
		elseif new >= 16 then
			steps.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255)
			steps.Parent.ImageLabel.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255)
		end
		if new <= 0 then
			Humanoid.Health -=100
			steps.Text = tostring(data[stagetrans.Text])
			break
		end
	end
end

Unkown global text below local new = blah blah blah

i copied from the first post so i dont know what you changed from that one

#42

below steps.text == “NIL” then return end

#43

I found the issue. it couldn’t convert the string to a number so if you replace this line.

local new = tonumber(steps.Text)-1 -- Error on this line

with

local new: number = (tonumber(steps.Text) or 1) - 1

and this

steps.Text = if Found or "nil" then "inf" else tostring(data[stagetrans.Text])

with this

steps.Text = (Found or "nil") and "inf" or tostring(data[stagetrans.Text])

from your original script.
