Changing text via intvalue not working

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 7:45pm

Hi!

I have a scoreboard script which is meant to add 1 every time the team scores. I am using intvalues for this, and it doesn’t change the text at all.

Here is the script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Start", math.huge)

local val = Instance.new("IntValue")

val.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

val.Name = "ajax"

local val1 = Instance.new("IntValue")

val.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

val.Name = "inter"

local Away = workspace.AwayPart:GetChildren()

local Home = workspace.HomePart:GetChildren()

local HomeGK = workspace.HomeGKPart:GetChildren()

local AwayGK = workspace.AwayGKPart:GetChildren()

local Ref = workspace.RefPart:GetChildren()

local playersService = game:GetService("Players")

local scoreBoardGui = workspace.Score.ScoreboardGui

local elfScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.ParisScore

local gnomeScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.LiverpoolScore

local status = scoreBoardGui.Status

local timer = scoreBoardGui.Timer

local team = game.Teams

local goal1 = workspace["Away Goal"].WhitePart and workspace.goal2

local goal2 = workspace["Home Goal"].RedPart and workspace.goal1

local ball = workspace.TPS

local originalPosition = ball.Position

ball.Touched:Connect(function(part)

if part == goal2 then

val.Value = val.Value +1

gui.Scoreboard.AjaxScore.Text= tostring(val)

elseif part == goal1 then

val1.Value = val.Value +1

gui.Scoreboard.InterScore.Text = tostring(val)

end

end)

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

The problem is you’re converting a string into a string. Try changing all tostrings() to just gui.Scorebard.Blahblahblah.Text = val

i tried that already, and yeah it doesnt work

CommanderRanking · December 4, 2021, 7:50pm

I totally forgot about tonumber(), try that.

hakobmher · December 4, 2021, 7:52pm

i have never seen this before

can you explain what is math.huge for there

and if you have any errors tell us

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 7:52pm

it just throws this error at me:

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 7:53pm

its to stop the “infinite yield” error (the string timeout)

hakobmher · December 4, 2021, 7:54pm

maybe its because val and val1 are instaces not values try val.value

CommanderRanking · December 4, 2021, 7:54pm

That’s if you’re trying to change it to val’s name:

tostring(val.Name)

or if you’re trying to change it to val’s value:

tostring(val.Value)

You have made typos between val and val1. I think this is the working version of your script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Start", math.huge)

local val = Instance.new("IntValue", ReplicatedStorage)
val.Name = "ajax"

local val1 = Instance.new("IntValue", ReplicatedStorage)
val.Name = "inter"

local Away = workspace.AwayPart:GetChildren()
local Home = workspace.HomePart:GetChildren()
local HomeGK = workspace.HomeGKPart:GetChildren()
local AwayGK = workspace.AwayGKPart:GetChildren()
local Ref = workspace.RefPart:GetChildren()

local scoreBoardGui = workspace.Score.ScoreboardGui
local elfScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.ParisScore
local gnomeScore = scoreBoardGui.Score.LiverpoolScore
local status = scoreBoardGui.Status
local timer = scoreBoardGui.Timer

local goal1 = workspace["Away Goal"].WhitePart and workspace.goal2
local goal2 = workspace["Home Goal"].RedPart and workspace.goal1

local ball = workspace.TPS
local originalPosition = ball.Position

ball.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	if part == goal2 then
		val.Value += 1
		gui.Scoreboard.AjaxScore.Text = val.Value 
	elseif part == goal1 then
		val1.Value += 1
		gui.Scoreboard.InterScore.Text = val1.Value 
	end
end)

it doesn’t work, and this doesn’t work either

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Start")
local val = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Ajax")
local val1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Inter")


local goal1 = workspace["Away Goal"].WhitePart and workspace.goal2
local goal2 = workspace["Home Goal"].RedPart and workspace.goal1
local ball = workspace.TPS

ball.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	if part == goal2 then
		val.Value = val.Value +1
		gui.Scoreboard.AjaxScore.Text= val



	elseif part == goal1 then
		val1.Value = val.Value +1
		gui.Scoreboard.InterScore.Text = val1
		




	end


end)

Did you try using my script, without modifications? If so what error did you got?

hakobmher · December 4, 2021, 8:00pm

try printing val and val1 and gui.Scoreboard.Ajaxscore.text

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 8:01pm

yes i have, and it throws this error

NyrionDev · December 4, 2021, 8:02pm

Use the updated version of my code, you have to instead use val1.Value and val.Value.

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 8:04pm

it works, but it puts a 1 over the text

NyrionDev · December 4, 2021, 8:05pm

Is that 2 different TextLabels or “0-10”?

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 8:06pm

nevermind, i found an overlapping text label. thanks for your help!

TheSpecialNone · December 4, 2021, 8:18pm

wait one more thing, how would i make it so if the value hits 7 the values and the text reset to 0?

NyrionDev · December 4, 2021, 8:42pm

if part == goal2 then
	val.Value += 1
	if val.Value > 7 then 
		val.Value = 0
	end
	gui.Scoreboard.AjaxScore.Text = val.Value 
elseif part == goal1 then
	val1.Value += 1
	if val1.Value > 7 then 
		val1.Value = 0
	end
	gui.Scoreboard.InterScore.Text = val1.Value 
end
