Stocking Damage

[EdugamesBR146]

1. I’m making a JoJo game and I need to stock damage to for my Time Stop, to then damage the player, I already tried to add into an intvalue but It didn’t go so well. Which is the best way to stock damage?

If you’re asking about how you can go about stacking damage, using an IntValue should be fine. What was the problem you came across?

[EdugamesBR146]

For some reason the intvalue wasn’t changing Its value. If you wish I could show you the code

[ItsEGT (EGT)]

You can change the value of an IntValue using it’s Value property.

IntValue.Value += damage

[NyrionDev (Nyrion)]

Perhaps you did something like this?

local damage = IntValue.Value

damage += 5

If so then damage is a reference to the current value, not the instance, so if changed the value of IntValue won’t change as well. Instead, you must do:

local damage = IntValue

damage.Value += 5

I ain’t sure what is the issue with my code

local TSDamage = ehum.Parent:FindFirstChild("TSDamage")
if TSDamage then
	TSDamage.Value -= 0.05
elseif not TSDamage then
	local TsDamage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	TsDamage.Name = "TSDamage"
        TsDamage.Parent = ehum.Parent
	TsDamage.Value = ehum.Health

The “Int” in IntValue stands for integers. Integers are whole numbers, which can’t carry decimals.

Use a NumberValue instead.

Problem is, I can’t do aritmethics on the numbervalue

[ItsEGT (EGT)]

What? How so?

[EdugamesBR146]

When I try to do aritmethics on a numbervalue.value I get the issue “Error, can’t do (sub) on numbervalue and instance”

[ItsEGT (EGT)]

You definitely can.

local NumberValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
NumberValue.Value -= 0.05
