Need Help On Supernatural based game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hello DevForum,

I am looking for assistance on a script which I cant seem to get to work.

I am working on a supernatural based game in which the script im working in is grace, Grace gives angels there powers and im trying to make it so if the players grace is under 100 then there grace will start growing every 2 seconds by 5.

I am using a GetPropertyChangedSignal() for this

 local Grace = Instance.new("IntValue")
Grace.Name = "Grace"
 Grace.Parent = plr
 Grace.Value = 20
 local MaxValue = 100

 repeat wait(1) Grace.Value = Grace.Value + 20 until Grace.Value == MaxValue
 
 Grace:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
 	if Grace.Value > MaxValue then
 		repeat wait(1) Grace.Value = Grace.Value + 5 until Grace.Value == MaxValue
 	end
 end)
 ```

You could just replace the == with >=, as that’ll detect when it’s greater than/equal to the value it’s searching for

Also, why are you using a GetPropertyChangedSignal Event? The Dev API references an easier way by using the .Changed Event instead:

local MaxValue = 100

local Grace = Instance.new("IntValue")
Grace.Name = "Grace"
Grace.Parent = plr
Grace.Value = 20

repeat 
    wait(1) 
    Grace.Value = Grace.Value + 20 
until Grace.Value >= MaxValue
 
Grace.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue)
    if NewValue > MaxValue then
        repeat 
            wait(1) 
            Grace.Value = Grace.Value + 20 
        until Grace.Value >= MaxValue
    end
end)

Hey so what im trying to do is make it so later in time a player can steal grace but a player gains it back slowly over time, But ive tried your script and the grace value remains the same when I set it to a lower value. It did not work.

Oh I see, alright for this instance you have to reference this line

To this instead:

    if NewValue < MaxValue then

So that way the NewValue is less than the MaxValue so it can slowly increase the value by 20 per second
