Convert String to Value

[TheCoolest_Rock]

i want to convert a string (intValue) to a instance (TextLabel).

how do i do this?

[1pad_a1r (Paddie)]

It’s pretty simple use

tonumber() or tostring()

here an example :
I want to convert “10” :

local MyString = "10"

MyString = tonumber(MyString)

i am just getting the error Unable to assign property Text. string expected, got nil

this is my code:
server:

local fuel = workspace.car.values.fuel.Value

fuel = math.random(5, 50)
fuel = math.floor(fuel)

while wait(1) do
	if workspace.car.chassis.Velocity.Magnitude > 5 then
		fuel = fuel - 0.1
		print(fuel)
	end
end

local script:

wait(5)

while wait(1) do
	script.Parent.Text = tonumber(workspace.car.values.fuel)
end

how do i fix this?

oops i did a mistake sorry

it’s

wait(5)

while wait(1) do
	script.Parent.Text = tostring(workspace.car.values.fuel)
end

turns down i also made a mistake by not writing fuel.Value, but i am how experiencing another problem:

as you see in the video, after the wait(5), instead of being changed the fuel value, it gets changed to 0. why is that and how do i fix it?

[1pad_a1r (Paddie)]

okay i got it

so try this in the server script :

local fuel = workspace.car.values.fuel

fuel.Value = math.random(5, 50)
fuel.Value = math.floor(fuel.Value)

while wait(1) do
	fuel.Value = fuel.Value - 0.1
	print(fuel.Value)
end

You got an error: Attempt to index nil with 'PlayerGui'.
Try using Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"), but even then gui should be controlled on the client.

Edit the fuel value on the server, and use GetPropertyChangedSignal() to edit the text on the client.
