Can't get an IntValue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. I want to get the value from an IntValue

  2. I just can’t get the IntValue

So basically, I made it so each player has an IntValue created in a remotestorage folder called “Values”. But I can’t find a way to access it.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(player)

local rapvalue = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values:WaitForChild(player).Value
print(rapvalue)
if rapvalue >= 10 then
	game.Workspace.Rap.CanCollide = false
end
#2

Does it show any errors in the output?

#3

It shows Infinite yield possible on ‘ReplicatedStorage.Values:WaitForChild(“Instance”)’

#4 
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(player)

local rapvalue = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values:WaitForChild(player)
print(rapvalue)
if rapvalue.Value >= 10 then
	game.Workspace.Rap.CanCollide = false
end

Tell me if this works

If you named the Values correctly, change it to

local rapvalue = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values:WaitForChild(player.Name).Value

It wil lwait for the Value with the name of the player, currently, you gave it an instance to wait for, WaitForChild typically uses a string to refer to

#6

Wait so is the script a local script or server script?

The script is a local script inside StarterPlayerScripts

Are the Values named by the name of the players? If so, try what I wrote in my post

I tried what you wrote in your post, but it doesn’t print the correct value

#10

Could you send a screenshot of the explorer showing the objects in replicated storage?

What is it printing and what is it supposed to print? Perhaps try remove the .Value and putting it in if the statement

if rapvalue.Value >= 10 then

That’s probably why then, you immediately got the value of the IntValue as soon as it was made, and by then, the value may’ve already changed. Try out what I posted

Your code should look like this

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(player)

local rapvalue = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values:WaitForChild(player.Name)
print(rapvalue.Value)
if rapvalue.Value >= 10 then
	game.Workspace.Rap.CanCollide = false
end

This way it will get the latest value in the IntValue

Thx, what @EmbatTheHybrid just said should fix it then because it puts the value named as a player

Thanks, I just put a wait(1) and it got the correct value. Many many many thanks to you both!
