"value of type string cannot be converted to a number" for i loop

[laheitorzito303030]

Hi developers,

I’m making a piggy fanmade game, now i’m trying to make the bot countdown, but for some reason, this keeps happening:

I don’t know why, it keeps happening, i have a int value inside replicated storage and here is my script:

Server:

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Timer = RS.Timer
local Status = Timer.Status

for count = 30, 0, -1 do
	-- Prints the current number the for loop is on
	Status.Value = "Piggy spawning"..count
	-- Wait 1 second
	task.wait(1)
end

Client:

while task.wait() do
	script.Parent.Text = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Status.Value
end

Any help would be… Appreciated!!!

You’re setting an IntValue’s property to a string, make it a StringValue.

IIRC Intvalue are for both string values and number values, but sure i’m gonna try

[laheitorzito303030]

it worked first try lol didn’t knew string values were also for numbers

[Darkmist101 (Darkmist)]

You can store a string into number/int values if the string can be converted into the proper type, I wouldn’t bet on that (for anything really). Always try and have the proper types for an object/API usage if possible.
