This is a server script inside a text label which updates the text label and spawns zombies, The script works but when I update the hello value to 11 the script keep going?

local b = game.Workspace.Hello.Value

    while b == 10 do
        wait(40)

        script.Parent.Text = "20"
end

You need to update b's value each time.

OR

local b = game.Workspace.Hello

    while b.Value == 10 do
        wait(40)

        script.Parent.Text = "20"
end

OR

    while game.Workspace.Hello.Value == 10 do
        wait(40)

        script.Parent.Text = "20"
end

Hello! This should do it.

local b = game.Workspace.Hello
   while b.Value == 10 do
        wait(40)

        script.Parent.Text = "20"
end

Your script kept going as you saved the value in the beginning, and the script doesn't see if you changed it or not, but this script does check.

Also theres no point in putting the value in the second script when you could just put it in one script at line 1 JesseSong 3916 — 4y

@JesseSong you want to make the script neat, so in the future you could change the variable name and it will still work. alexfinger21 341 — 4y
