Hi developers,

I have tried making a game, but for some reason my text box is not limiting the amount of letters, i have tried so much on the developer hub, and mainly i tried using this script:

local TextBox = script.Parent

TextBox.Changed:Connect(function()
	TextBox.Text:sub(1, 2)
end)

The weird part is that for some reason, in my other games that worked perfectly all the time, but now on this specific game, it’s not working, can anyone help me? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

The problem with your code is your not setting the Text of the textbox.

Try this code:

local TextBox = script.Parent

TextBox.Changed:Connect(function()
	TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text:sub(1, 2)
end)

Look, i mean, there’s a text box, but i can only input a max of number to 12 instead of 99 and no limits and stuff, sorry if i’m bad at explaining

So you mean: A textbox were you are only allowed to input numbers upto a certain maximum?

This code should work for integers (whole numbers)

local TextBox = script.Parent
local Max = 12 -- Max value 12

TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	local str = TextBox.Text:gsub("%D+", "") -- Only allows for numbers (0-9)
	local number = tonumber(str)
	if number then
		TextBox.Text = math.min(number, Max)
	else
		TextBox.Text = ""
	end
end)
