Why won't the GUI change when the IntValue equals a number?
I'm using a LocalScript to change a Player's GUI if an IntValue in a Player equals a number.
The point of the script is to make a GUI visible if a player has more than 0 of an item. My script is:
1 | player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | watermelonvalue = player.Inventory.Seeds.Watermelon.Value |
3 |
4 | if watermelonvalue >= 1 then |
5 | print("Watermelonvalue was true") |
6 | script.Parent.Visible = true |
7 | elseif watermelonvalue == 0 then |
8 | script.Parent.Visible = false |
The script shows the GUI if the IntValue is 1 or greater but if I change the value in the server the GUI doesn't change when the value is 0.

You'll need to detect when the Value is changed. You can use the GetPropertyChangedSignal event to detect when the Value is changed.
01 | Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | Watermelon = Player.Inventory.Seeds.Watermelon |
03 |
04 | Watermelon:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() |
05 | if Watermelon.Value >= 1 then |
06 | print("Watermelonvalue was true") |
07 | script.Parent.Visible = true |
08 | elseif Watermelon.Value == 0 then |
09 | script.Parent.Visible = false |
10 | end |
11 | end) |

I copied the code into my game and the GUI still shows after the Value is changed. TestUser4646 1 — 4y

Are you changing the value on the Client or the Server? xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y

Ok so when I play my game not in studio the guis don't show unless the value changes so is there anyway to to fix that? TestUser4646 1 — 4y

Any code inside the GetPropertyChangedSignal function will only run when the value is changed. You'll need to put code outside of the function if you want it to open without having the value change. xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y
