Setting a bool value through value.value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Is it possible to set a bool value like this or something similar to this?

What a funny question
To put it simply, yes this should work., you can test it yourself by doing print(BoolValue) after you set it.

#3

local BoolValue = script. Parent. BoolValue
BoolValue.Value = true

#4

This wouldn’t work. The “BoolValue” value is just the value of the boolvalue when it was defined, setting it to true would only just set it to true in the script.

I was trying to do it like this so I could pass it through a function

like this

#6

I say its a question about bool value but its really about a table, the goal is to get boolvalue to say true

Can’t you do:

local function Set(TargetedInstance, TargetedValue)
TargetedInstance[TargetedValue] = true
end

?

#8

yeah I could, I was just wondering if there was another way so I didnt have to put 2 values

That wouldn’t work, you should just pass an instance to the function.

#10 
local BoolValue = script.BoolValue -- check if this a BoolValue?

local function Set(BoolValue)
  BoolValue.Value = true -- pay attention to this, we set its inner Value, not the BoolValue itself
end

Set(BoolValue)
