Int value not adding?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m completely unsure why this script doesn’t work. I’ve looked up multople posts with this exact same issue and the issues and solutions are nearly identical?

local count = char.Count.Value

while wait(1) do
	count = count + 1
	print(char.Count.Value)
end

I’ve made sure “count” is indeed an int value. Is this because the int value is inside the character? I’ve recreated this exact script with a different int value and it seems to work. I’m stumped.

Not sure, maybe do a repeat until statement with something like:

repeat 
    wait(1)
    count = count + 1
    print(char.Count.Value)
until count.Value = (number to end at)

if you are doing a while true do statement and want it to end at a certain number, do:

while wait(1) do
count = count + 1
print(char.Count.Value)
if count.Value == whatever number then
    break
end

or something like that

Your increasing a variable, try this instead.

local count = char.Count

while wait(1) do
	count.Value = count.Value + 1
	print(char.Count.Value)
end

This should be the answer, You can also write it shorter

local count = char.Count

while wait(1) do
	count.Value += 1
	print(count.Value)
end

Although this prints the correct number, it does not increase the int value.

Could you link the api for “+=”? I cant find it sorry…

Maybe just make the count variable to

local count = char.Count.Value

into

local count = char.Count

so that in the while do statement, you can do count.Value = count.Value + 1
just a suggestion, if not than i can figure something out

Its general code syntax and is used all around different languages. I recommend checking out this link

Additional info

+= is not defined in the first link. You can read more on it here

Look for lua_CFunction for an example
