Changing the text of a Surface text depending on a value

Ok, this code is simple, but it doesn’t work.
I checked everything : the path, the value, the code but it doesn’t change the text, here it is :

local text = script.Parent
local val = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Handle.On
local value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Handle.On.Value

val.Changed:Connect(function()
	if value == 0 then
		text.Text = "Ready"
		text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 122, 0)
	elseif value >= 1 then
		text.Text = value
		text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(122,0,0)
	end
end)

Try this instead:

local text = script.Parent
local val = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Handle.On

val.Changed:Connect(function()
	if val.Value == 0 then
		text.Text = "Ready"
		text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 122, 0)
	elseif val.Value >= 1 then
		text.Text = val.Value
		text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(122,0,0)
	end
end)

The main reason why it’s not changing I believe is because you only defined the value variable once, so it’ll only keep changing to that 1 String

It’s still not changing, it’s so weird…

#4

Try it again I think I did a mistypo

#5

Shouldn’t we change the
local val = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Handle.On to
local val = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Handle.On.Value?

#6

This is weird, still not working,
Imma see what the output says

#7

Btw value isn’t defined
So I changed to val.Value but still not

#8

Ok yeah I rushed that one Add print statements as well if for some reason it doesn’t work, but try it once more unless if you saw the mistakes

#9

Note that the color change
– Useless thng here

#10 
local text = script.Parent
local val = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Handle.On

val.Changed:Connect(function()
	if val.Value == 0 then
        print("Is ready")
		text.Text = "Ready"
		text.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 122, 0)
	elseif val.Value >= 1 then
        print("Is not ready")
		text.Text = val.Value
		text.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(122,0,0)
    else
        print("What")
	end
end)

Try this?

#11

And now it works but WTF
– Y –

#12

I did also go ahead and change your Color3.new to Color3.fromRGB, since Color3.new only takes number values that go up to 1, then afterwards it’s neon pain

#13

Oh that might be why
