you can make mesh with the text 123 and do this script

number = “123”

script.Parent.number.Transperancy = 0

#54

? what do you mean, if its 123 there are not 123 digits

#55

no, as i just said , if its 123 there are not 123 digits

#56

i am mean you can write on the mesh text “123” save the mesh and thats all.

#57

So if you are using 3 digits, it could look something like this.

local digit1 = "1"
local digit2 = "2"
local digit3 = "3"
script.Parent.digit1.Transperancy = 0
script.Parent.digit2.Transperancy = 0
script.Parent.digit3.Transperancy = 0

These are called 7-segment displayers, making them is pretty easy:

  1. Make a UI for each number, made up of 7 minor frames, and tweak them until they form a number. Of course you wanna be using surface UIs
    chrome_1j6EYJ8U3I
    Each UI would be named after a number, and that number would describe that UIs order so the order does matter, because we need it in the scripting part
  2. Technically each number (from 0 to 9) has a certain pattern, so you wanna have a table containing all the appropriate patterns, this would be lots of work so good luck. The table would look like this
local patterns = {{true, true, true, true, true, false, true}} --this is just ther pattern for 0, if you wanted 
--the pattern for one, go to the next index and make another table

Technically if we wanted to show zero in the displayer, we would need these certain segments to be lighten up
chrome_1f6EYJ8U3I
The table will have true placed (meaning light up) in the index that we wanna light up, we want the frame number 5 to be lighten up, we put true in the 5th index in the table pattern for 0.

Also this exists now

You should’ve fully read my answer, I told him to use UIs and not roblox fonts.

And also if you wanna use custom fonts you have this, without needing any complicated blender stuff

you have to make 3 sets of 0-9 digits, place them in that order. The create a new script that say every second change the number value by 1.

#65

this is nice but if its 123, how do i separate the value so the value is 1 , 2 and 3?

#66

yes ui, but how do i make multiple numbers

#67

you can do that maybe number1 = “1” number2 = “2” number3 = “3”

#68

Well have 3 different Frames that contain all of the 7 Frame, where each one of the 3 three frames is a different number, and edit each one seperately.

If you don’t want this complicated system check out the video I sent
