Subtracting from in variables only subtracts one, How do I fix this?
So, Im making a part that when I click it it subtracts one from a variable. The click detector should work until it hits 0, and I get no errors on this part and it works fine besides for when I click it to subtract.
local clickdetector = game.Workspace["Forest Cavern"].PuzzleOne.ClickDetector
local bricklife = 10
if bricklife > 0 then
clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
local bricklife = bricklife - 1
print(bricklife)
end)
end
Heres the code I have written. What happens is, the bricklife starts as ten, then I click it and the bricklife prints 9 in the output, but when I click it again it prints 9 again, and doesnt go down. I clicked it 20 times and it still printed nine, showing its not just something wrong with the print statement. How do I make it so it continually subtracts?

Okay, so you are creating a new variable every time, so here's how to fix this:
local clickdetector = game.Workspace["Forest Cavern"].PuzzleOne.ClickDetector
local bricklife = 10
if bricklife >= 0 then
clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
bricklife = bricklife - 1
print(bricklife)
end)
end
This should do it! Hope it helps!

The above answer fixed one problem, the other issue is that you have lines 5 and 6 mixed up.
local bricklife = 10
clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if bricklife > 0 then
--code
end
end)
