Hi,

I need some help. Im trying to make a death counter script. So this is on a part and its like a total off counter! So Im not very sure how to add 1 to the value of the text. I know how to make it 0 when the game starts but I don’t know haw to add one to it. Its simple but I don’t know how to do it. Please don’t harsh on me for not knowing. Im just trying to learn a bit more.

Are you trying to modify like a textLabel on the part?

#3

this is the script I have so far

script.Parent.Text = "0"

game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	    character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	    script.Parent.Text = (i dont know what goes here) + 1	
	    end)
    end)
end)

yes. That is what I’m trying to do.

#5

yeah its best off to have a separate counter variable thats a number and then go

script.Parent.Text = "Some text "..thatVariable

the two dots concatenate or better yet combine the text and the number. i think it should work though i should test it first

#6

You could put: script.Parent.Text = (script.Parent.Text +1) on this line

#7

thanks! Now I can use this in a lot for scripts.

What you can do is have a variable that changes every death.

script.Parent.Text = "0"

local Deaths = 0

game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	    character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
Deaths = Deaths + 1
	    script.Parent.Text = "Deaths: "..Deaths	
	    end)
    end)
end)

It wont work, im pretty sure, since the .Text is a string, not a number. Cant operate math stuff

#10

there you go, that’s what im talkin about

#11

Pretty sure it still works if the string only contains numbers, though it if doesnt you could apply this small change
script.Parent.Text = (tonumber(script.Parent.Text)+1)

#12

then in that case yes, but the other method is probably gonna be used more cause u wanna tell the player what the counter is for
