Value Amount needed! (IntValue)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Howdy DevForum! I am trying to make a script so that when this IntValue gets a certain amount it will delete these 2 text and will enable these 2 scripts inside a part. I get no errors in the output and dev console. Please help!

local Amount = script.Parent.Parent.AmountBoard.AmountDisplayPart.Amount.Value
	if Amount == 550 then
		script.Parent.Teleporter.CurrencyGiver.Disabled = false
		script.Parent.Teleporter.Teleport.Disabled = false
		script.Parent.LockedText:Destroy()
		script.Parent.Needed:Destroy()
	end

You need to use a listening event, for example;

amount.Changed:Connect(function()
if amount.Value == number then
-- do stuff
end
end)

Take value off of the end of your variable, this event only works with instances.

And there’s also,

amount:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
if amount.Value == number then
-- do stuff
end
end)

The first one fires when any value of the instance has changed, :GetPropertyChangedSignal() allows you to listen for the differences in specific properties.

Make sure to change it to >= instead of ==. If you want it at a certain amount then you would do the following.

Why is this? I thought the double equals operator worked fine.

He asked for a certain amount. The equal operator only works if two numbers are exactly the same. Using this operator, >= allows the script to check if its equal or above.

Oh, sorry. I didn’t read the certain amount part. I understand why you’d use it here now, thanks :smile:

There are other operators such as ~=, <= but the code shown in the picture was probably either a mistake or just intended.

I’m aware of, I think all the operators at this point it’s just that I didn’t read the certain value part.

This does not seem to be working, and .Changed does not work on this value I am pretty sure. And I did try what @MetaAxis said. This is also a regular script not a local script.

Is the value being changed on the client? if it is, it doesn’t work like that.

Did you take value off the end of your variable?

Oh right, sorry! I am testing again.
