Update NumberValue assigned to table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1
  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I’m trying to make a button that deletes the pet from a slot. To tell the script which slot to delete, I’m using a NumberValue which changes depending on the selected slot.
  2. What is the issue?
    The NumberValue assigned to the table doesn’t change even if I change it manually or with scripts.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    None because I couldn’t find any on the dev forum nor other lua websites.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local SelectedValue = script.Parent.Parent.SelectedSlot.Value
local PetID = script.Parent.Parent.PetID.Value
local Inventory = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Inventory

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local SelectedSlot = {
		[0] = function()
			script.Parent.NoSelectedPet:Play()
			print("No slot was selected")
		end,
		[1] = function()
			Inventory.Slot1.PetID.Value = 0
			Inventory.Slot1.PetImage.Image = "rbxasset://textures/ui/GuiImagePlaceholder.png"
			Inventory.Slot1.PetName.Text = "No pet"
			Inventory.Slot1.Active = false
			print("Slot 1 deleted")
		end,
		[2] = function()
			Inventory.Slot2.PetID.Value = 0
			Inventory.Slot2.PetImage.Image = "rbxasset://textures/ui/GuiImagePlaceholder.png"
			Inventory.Slot2.PetName.Text = "No pet"
			Inventory.Slot2.Active = false
			print("Slot 2 deleted")
		end,
		[3] = function()
			Inventory.Slot3.PetID.Value = 0
			Inventory.Slot3.PetImage.Image = "rbxasset://textures/ui/GuiImagePlaceholder.png"
			Inventory.Slot3.PetName.Text = "No pet"
			Inventory.Slot3.Active = false
			print("Slot 3 deleted")
		end,
		[4] = function()
			Inventory.Slot4.PetID.Value = 0
			Inventory.Slot4.PetImage.Image = "rbxasset://textures/ui/GuiImagePlaceholder.png"
			Inventory.Slot4.PetName.Text = "No pet"
			Inventory.Slot4.Active = false
			print("Slot 4 deleted")
		end,
		[5] = function()
			Inventory.Slot5.PetID.Value = 0
			Inventory.Slot5.PetImage.Image = "rbxasset://textures/ui/GuiImagePlaceholder.png"
			Inventory.Slot5.PetName.Text = "No pet"
			Inventory.Slot5.Active = false
			print("Slot 5 deleted")
		end
	}
	SelectedSlot[SelectedValue]()
end)

The output always comes out as “No slot was selected” ([0] on the table).
The NumberValue is set to 0.
The NumberValue is changed by scripts when you select a slot.

You are defining the number value outside the event. Just put the variables for the values inside the MouseButton1Click function and they should update.

But it IS inside the function.
Or isn’t it?
And I can’t put it inside the table because it would give me an error.
Wait, I think I know what you mean.
It works now, thanks.
