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.
01 | local clickdetector = game.Workspace["Forest Cavern"].PuzzleOne.ClickDetector |
02 |
03 | local bricklife = 10 |
04 |
05 | if bricklife > 0 then |
06 | clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
07 | local bricklife = bricklife - 1 |
08 | print(bricklife) |
09 | end) |
10 | 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:
01 | local clickdetector = game.Workspace["Forest Cavern"].PuzzleOne.ClickDetector |
02 |
03 | local bricklife = 10 |
04 |
05 | if bricklife >= 0 then |
06 | clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
07 | bricklife = bricklife - 1 |
08 | print(bricklife) |
09 | end) |
10 | 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.
1 | local bricklife = 10 |
2 |
3 | clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
4 | if bricklife > 0 then |
5 | --code |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
