Hey there!
How would I modify this script to detect when the text is displaying 100 or higher? I’m trying to use this to start a fire on the part when it reaches that number, but it doesn’t do anything.
Script:
local Text = script.Parent
local fire = Text.Parent.Parent.Fire
Text.Text = 0
while true do
if workspace.Button.Value.Value == true then
Text.Text = Text.Text + 1
wait(0.4)
else
Text.Text = Text.Text + 1
wait(0.1)
end
end
I tried if statements, but none of it worked.
The only way I can think of it is
if Text.Text == 69 then
-- do this
end
I tried that, but it didn’t work, either.
The text should be a string, you cannot add a string. You need to convert it to a number.
How do I do that?

I think you can use tonumber. Also if that is not the problem, can I ask if this is in a script or localscript?
The script is a normal script. I can send you a screenshot of it in explorer and studio, if you want?
I don’t think you can check the text from the server, you need to use remote events to send an arg from the client to the server. Edit: Also a screenshot would actually help.
Ah yes my bad, there should be "s around the number, like this
if Text.Text == "69" then
-- do this
end
If @gxenious’s way does not work, try using remote events & use his method.
I think you need to use remote events and @gxenious’s fixed version. But just try his fixed version first:
Edit: I was wrong and you can add strings, so I think it should work.
This one worked just fine, actually. Thanks.
This is a bit offtopic, but instead of using while true do you could do
game.workspace.Button.Value.Changed:Connect(function()
local Text = script.Parent
local fire = Text.Parent.Parent.Fire
Text.Text = 0
if workspace.Button.Value.Value == true then
Text.Text = Text.Text + 1
wait(0.4)
else
Text.Text = Text.Text + 1
wait(0.1)
end
end)
