Is there a better way to write this other than using a while loop?
I am trying to make a keypad that multiply's a code by whichever number the player puts. I am trying to make it so if the code changed then it changes the code but I think there might be a better way to write this. Is there a better way to write this?
local code = script.Parent.Code
local text = script.Parent
while wait(1) do
text.Text = code.Value
end

You can use an event named Changed on the value.
Note: the event Changed fires when any properties are changed, I suggest you follow it up with an if statement.
Sample script of a newly created part when it changed it's name
local Part = Instance.new('Part',workspace)
Part.Changed:Connect(function(property)
print('part property changed: ',property)
end)
Part.Name = 'wow potato' -- the event fires.
Part.Transparency = .5 -- the event also fires here
Another example but using a GetPropertyChangedSignal which returns an event of when that specific property is changed.
local Part = Instance.new('Part',workspace)
Part:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Name').Connect(function()
print('cool name change')
end)
Part.Name = 'wow potato' -- the event fires.
Part.Transparency = .5 -- the event doesnt fire here cuz it only fires when the name property has been changed
