You can easily do this via changing it when you are setting the value, you will know if you are adding or subtracting from the value.

I tried that but my way to do it didn’t work

#4

You can do it using an event on the value trough a local script inside the gui, and when it triggers just check the old value and compare it with the new one and base the text on that.
it would be:
:GetPropertyChangedSignal(“Value”) on the instance value

Show me the code then please otherwise I cannot help you.
Otherwise, you can use the .Changed event.

#6

I don’t have the code anymore it was a long ago and now i need the system again

#7

Ok, i will try that method, thanks

#8

Okay i managed to check if the value goes up or down but how do i check if the value don’t change ?

#9

Check the condition that makes the value go up or down and if none of them are true then you can make it say stable.

getpropertychangedsignal should have a parameter which is the old value so just work it out like this:

if OldValue > Temperature.Value then
    TemperatureLabel.Text = "Lowering"
else
    TemperatureLabel.Text = "Rising"
end
