How do I change a value in a script?

local value = script.Parent.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Value

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name == "Enemy" then
		value.Value = value.Value - 10
	end
end)
#2

What’s the error? Does it downgrade the value if hit from “Enemy”? Does the code underneath run if the parent’s name is “Enemy”?

Send a picture of your explorer? You might have the wrong path or something. And also send error logs.

#4

Nothing prints in the output
and if its called enemy it would print something like hello world

Try debugging it:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print(hit.Name, hit.Parent.Name)
	if hit.Parent.Name == "Enemy" then
		print("enemy touched")
		value.Value -= 10
	end
end)

That retrieves the Instance - he’s doing it correctly, as he’s achieving the .Value from Value (an instance).
