Cannot add values

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi! I am having trouble with this one piece of code:

Trigger.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	Tween(game.Workspace.CurrentCamera, MainCam)
	NPCName.Text = NPC.Name
	typeMessage("Test", 1)
	wait(1)
	Choices:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.56, 0, 0.399, 0))
	typeMessage("...", 0.25)
	ChoiceValue.Value = ChoiceValue.Value + 1
end)

The main concern is in the last line of code, basically it will not add the number in the value. Pretty confused since I also have been doing this NumberValue thing on other stuff and it works. The code is inside a LocalScript. Thank you in advance for helping!

Are you getting the prints in the output window?

#3

things on the client (made by local scripts) do not replicated to the server and aren’t detected by server scripts (normal scripts).

Well the rest of the code works, just the Adding Value is what isn’t working

ChoiceValue is a NumberValue, and I’ve also checked the client value as well, not adding :confused:

Try this instead:

ChoiceValue.Value += 1

Try this out:

Trigger.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	Tween(game.Workspace.CurrentCamera, MainCam)
	NPCName.Text = NPC.Name
	typeMessage("Test", 1)
	wait(1)
	Choices:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.56, 0, 0.399, 0))
	typeMessage("...", 0.25)
	warn("old: ", ChoiceValue.Value)
	ChoiceValue.Value += 1
	warn("new: ", ChoiceValue.Value)
end)

What they wrote wasn’t suppose to change the number to my knowledge.

But have you tried my answer?
Try Value += 1

So both prints gave out the same value? That’s pretty weird.

That’s not what I mean, the thing printed out different numbers, but the value is just the same (0)

its probably this never returning back to this script put the value above it and see if it works or put a print right above this and see if it prints

then its not making it done to it you need to put prints through it until you find where its stopping or if its even working at all
maybe the first textmessage call

try above it with a print
then one after

might even be that tween function not returning

I’m tyring to change the number by adding a number to the value, hence

ChoiceValue.Value += 1

Yet it still doesn’t work??

So the 'warn()'s gave different numbers, right?

Now I ask you this, where did you get this?
