this is what i think u mean
if h.WalkSpeed = 16 then
h.WalkSpeed = 100(TextBox.Text)

#4 
TexasButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if TextBox.Text == "5" then
	    if h.WalkSpeed == 5 then
		    h.WalkSpeed = 16
	    else
		    h.WalkSpeed = 5
	    end
    end
end)

Convert the TextBox text to a number and just use the number where you would use 5 in this script.

It’s a built in function. Check out this page for more: Lua Globals | Roblox Creator Documentation

but how will you know the tonumber? will you need to make a variable?
edit: when i went through i saw 1. print(tonumber(“1337”)) → 1337 (assumes base 10, decimal)
so you will need to do
h.WalkSpeed = tonumber(100)(textBox.Text)?

Nope, it’s a “global” variable, meaning all parts of every script can access it. Just try this simple script to see what I mean:

print(tonumber(“100123123”))

is this correct?

TexasButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

if TextBox.Text == tonumber(1000) then 
	if h.WalkSpeed == tonumber(1000) then
		h.WalkSpeed = 16
	else
		h.WalkSpeed = tonumber(1000)

	end


end

end)

Why not just do

if tonumber(TextBox.Text) > 5 or tonumber(TextBox.Text) < 100 then
    h.WalkSpeed = 16
else
    h.WalkSpeed = 5
end

It converts the text to a number so if the Text = 5 then instead of it being a string, it will be a number.
