IntValue Not Changing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi. Pretty self explanatory. My code:

script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.Value > 3 then
script.Parent.Value = 3
end
if script.Parent.Value < 1 then
script.Parent.Value = 1
end
end)

while true do
wait(.3)
if script.Parent.Value >= 3 then
if script.Parent.Value <= 1 then
script.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Value + .01
end
end
end

A value can’t be bigger or equal to 3 and be smaller or equal to 1. You’ll have to remove 1 of those statements to make it work.

It is changing in the function loop, but not the while loop.

#4

Oh, right thanks, I’m a complete idiot. I meant less than or equal to 3 and greater than or equal to 1.

:laughing: It’s alright. Everyone makes dumb mistakes here and there.

Wait, I still need help. My revised code is still not working :frowning:

I have 2 iterations:
The first:

script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.Value > 3 then
script.Parent.Value = 3
end
if script.Parent.Value < 1 then
script.Parent.Value = 1
end
end)

while true do
wait(1)
if script.Parent.Value <= 3 then
if script.Parent.Value >= 1 then
script.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Value - .01
end
end
end

The second:

while true do
wait(.3)
if script.Parent.Value > 3 then
script.Parent.Value = 3
end
if script.Parent.Value < 1 then
script.Parent.Value = 1
end
if script.Parent.Value > 1 then
wait(.7)
script.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Value - .01
end
end

Are these two loops both in the same script?

#10

No, separate scripts. I don’t know what the problem is.

#11

Try adding print statements to see what runs and what doesn’t. Also, are you getting any errors?

#12

No errors. It doesn’t print anything within the while loop. I’ll have to check for the function loop.

#13

For the function loop, it prints but does not change the value.
The print is within the final “if” statement

#14

Instead of two separate if statements, try adding an elseif.

#15

Apparently it does the same with the while loop. The printing and not changing.

#16

Wait, what’s the value of the IntValue currently?

#17

1, at the beginning. Also, I think the problem may be that you can’t make a decimal an intvalue

#18

Yeah maybe, that slipped my mind. Try adding/subtracting an integer instead of a float/decimal.

#19

Yeah, IntValues don’t support decimal numbers and only work with whole numbers. You should consider switching to NumberValues instead, or changing your integar counter to a whole number.

I will switch to number values. Thanks to all that helped!
