Setting Text to a Number Value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Can someone explain to me why this code is not working?

local value = script.Parent.Parent.Blocks.Value

script.Parent.Text = value

value.Changed:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Text = value
end)

I want to make it so that the text, is continuously changed to the integer value. When I do it, I only get the first integer number. But, after the value gets changed it does not update the text.

#2

It is because the value of the variable is not updated, do this:

local value = script.Parent.Parent.Blocks

script.Parent.Text = value.Value

value.Changed:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Text = value.Value
end)

Still didn’t work, does it have to be a local script or something?

#4

I’m currently at my phone because our class software wouldn’t let me out. So, put the local variable inside the value.Changed function instead.

#5

Do you see any errors in the output? Is the code in a local script or a server script and where is it placed?

#6

Yeah,

Here is where it is placed:

That didn’t work, either. (30 letters)

#8 
local devilArmor = script.Parent
local frame = devilArmor.Parent
local blocks = frame:WaitForChild("Blocks")

devilArmor.Text = blocks.Value

blocks.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
	devilArmor.Text = newValue
end)

Make the script a local one.

Are you using an ObjectValue? (30 limit aaaa)

#10

The error could be because the instance class is an ObjectValue and the value is an instance, try using value.Value.Name instead

Thank you! It worked! (30 letters)
