Int value problem

[Fifouu_TV (Fif)]

Hey guys,
I’m having a problem with int value, I want the value number to increase of 1 each wait(time), everything work, no error, all print show me everything good including the print(number) but the issue is that in the explorer i do not see the int value changing, it stays at 0.

Here the script:

local Interaction = Carton.Interaction
local Configuration = Interaction.Configuration
local Time = Configuration.Temps.Value
local Number = Configuration.Nombre.Value
local Max = Configuration.Max.Value

if Configuration.Activation.Value == "True" then
	print("Spawn activation")
	while true do
		print("Spawn while")
		if Number < Max then
			print("Spawn Spawn")
			Number = Number + 1
			print(Number)
		end
		wait(Time)
	end
end

Thats actually really weird… I’m not sure a while true loop is the best decision there though, as it will prevent you from executing any code past that later on.

if Configuration.Activation.Value == "True" then
	print("Spawn activation")
	while Number < Max do
		print("Spawn while")
		-- Number += task.wait(Time) -- Returns the actual time waited.
		Number += 1 -- Add 1
		print("Spawn Spawn")
		print(Number)
		task.wait(Time) -- Remove this wait if you use the wait listed above
	end
end

I don’t see any reason for the code you showed before to not work, nor this one.

Sidenote: Why is Activation.Value a string ‘True’ instead of true?

When you assign a variable it will be either copied or referenced. Base types (number, string, boolean) are copied and later edits to the variable do not effect the original.

When you write

local Number = Configuration.Nombre.Value

This copies the .Value to Number, so further edits to Number do not change the Nombre.Value. Instead you want to get a reference and change the .Value directly like so

local Interaction = Carton.Interaction
local Configuration = Interaction.Configuration
local Time = Configuration.Temps.Value
local Number = Configuration.Nombre -- removed .Value
local Max = Configuration.Max.Value

if Configuration.Activation.Value == "True" then
	print("Spawn activation")
	while true do
		print("Spawn while")
		if Number.Value < Max then -- add .Value to the call-site
			print("Spawn Spawn")
			Number.Value += 1
			print(Number.Value)
		end
		wait(Time)
	end
end

Try out types of variables with the typeof() function like so:

print( typeof(Configuration.Nombre) ) -- Instance/IntValue
print( typeof(Configuration.Nombre.Value) ) -- number

Like we should not use .value in variable ?

That depends on what you are trying to do. In this case, you should not create the variable with .Value
