Number value doesn't change

Hi! I was making a Blur system with a value for the amount of blurs which popped up. I stumbled upon the error was:

“Insanity” was not found

My code:

local randomwait = math.random(300,800)
local Insanity = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("Insanity")


while true do
	wait (randomwait)
	if Insanity ~= 0 then
		local size = 20
		local blur  = Instance.new("BlurEffect")
		
		blur.Enabled = true
		blur.Size = size
		blur.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
		
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Stage1.Enabled = true
		
		wait(10)
		
		blur:Destroy()
		Insanity.Value = Insanity.Value +1
	end
end

Can we see your studio hierarchy?

local insanity = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts:WaitForChild("Insanity")

It didn’t work.

Did u get any error? (30 characters)

“Insanity” was not found

That is actually strange, I just tested it out:

Make sure you are using a LocalScript, as Scripts cannot access Player.PlayerScripts.

I am using a LocalScript.

30char

#12

Try writing Insanity.Value ~=0 instead.

#13

The blur works, but the number value doesn;t.

#14

Did you replace the line of code I provided?

#15

I did, the blur works but the Insanity.Value = Insanity.Value +1 doesn’t work.

#16

perhaps these are causing delays? 300 - 800 seconds seems awfully long to me

#17

I used a wait(1) to test it. The blur works fine and as expected, but the NumberValue doesn’t change at all.

#18

Are you sure “Insanity” is a NumberValue? If so, maybe the wait(10) is causing a delay?

#19

I waited the 10 seconds, the blur stopped for a second and then looped instead of the NumberValue being changed.

#20

Try adding print(Insanity.Value) at the end of your loop, and see what it prints out.

#21

The output showed 1. But the blur stopped working at all.

local randomwait = math.random(300,800)
local Insanity = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("Insanity")


while true do
	wait (1)
	if Insanity.Value ~= 0 then
		local size = 20
		local blur  = Instance.new("BlurEffect")
		
		blur.Enabled = true
		blur.Size = size
		blur.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
		
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Stage1.Enabled = true
		
		wait(10)
		
		blur:Destroy()
		Insanity.Value = Insanity.Value +1
		print(Insanity.Value)
	end
end
