How do I make a variable that adds up?
I'm trying to make a 'Cash' variable that adds up over time. I don't think this is the right script, was a try though!
while true do Cash = Cash + 5 Game.workspace.Part.SurfaceGUI.TextBox.Text = Cash wait (20) end

The script does add up the cash varaible. Do you mean changing the text of the SurfaceGUI? Erie20 102 — 4y

ik now its not textbox its textlabel. textboxes are for user input. textlabels are for display. Erie20 102 — 4y

A simple error: there was a space in between the wait and the parameter. This can easily be fixed by doing:
local Cash = 0
while wait(20) do
Cash = Cash + 5
game.workspace.Part.SurfaceGUI.TextBox.Text = tostring(Cash)
end
I also recommend you use a TextLabel and not a TextBox
Edit: I realized that the value would be a number value so you must make it a string for it to work. I provided that in the code above

Notes: 1. Lua doesn't care about the space; 2. Lua (and often Roblox) automatically converts numbers to strings for things like Text; 3. It should be `game.Workspace` or just `workspace`; 4. The critical issue was `Cash` not existing (which you did fix with line 1). chess123mate 5873 — 4y
