Hello, how would i make this Variable Update mid script to a Number value?

local MaxStamina = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blizzard"):WaitForChild("ColdValue").Value

it only stays as what it is but when it gets changed it still stays the same

What type of value is that? I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but you can use tonumber() if that’s a string that’s only a number.

what do u mean what type of value is it? the MaxStamina controls how much Stamina u have for the whole script and i want to change it depending where u are so i made it based off the a number value but it doesnt update

It’s hard to tell what the issue is without more code or a video demonstration. But from what it sounds like, you’re probably managing a server-side property client-side, where it won’t replicate to the server.

so what im trying to do is this, blizzards will form randomly around the map and when they do i want the players Stamina to Decrease to a smaller dumber, when its over it increases back to the normal

7

so i made the max stamina a replicated storage value and when a blizzard appears the value gets changed to a smaller number

8

Assuming that the values are being changed server-side, it looks like this should work. Are there any errors of any kind or something?

9

well the script isnt updating the value, i need a way for it to update it

10 

local hotValue = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Uis.ColdOrHot.HotValue

local function Update()
	if hotValue.Value == false then
		sprint("Began")
	else
		sprint("Ended")
	end
end

hotValue.Changed:Connect(Update)

this is getting updated but idk how to do it for this


local MaxStamina = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blizzard"):WaitForChild("ColdValue").Value
11

i dont know how to use the .Changed but i tried this and it dident work lol

local MaxStamina = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blizzard"):WaitForChild("ColdValue").Value

game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blizzard"):WaitForChild("ColdValue").Changed:Connect(MaxStamina)
12

Store the reference to the object instead:

--not using .Value here
local MaxStamina = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blizzard"):WaitForChild("ColdValue")

--will show the current value
print(MaxStamina.Value)
13

it always prints out the same even if i change the value

14

Did you notice I removed .Value from the MaxStamina variable? Also make sure you are changing it on the server if it’s a server script, else the results wont be valid.

15

yes i noticed u removed .Value but its not gonna change anything, i already know what its gonna print

16

Also to see the value changing you can wrap it inside a .Changed event:

MaxStamina.Changed:Connect(function()
	print(MaxStamina.Value)
end)
17

ok i made it where the value is the inside of the script so i put a script inside of the value with a onclient remote event to change the value

18

the value changes but in the script it doesnt
