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?
1 | local code = script.Parent.Code |
2 |
3 | local text = script.Parent |
4 |
5 | while wait(1) do |
6 | text.Text = code.Value |
7 | 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
1 | local Part = Instance.new('Part',workspace) |
2 |
3 | Part.Changed:Connect(function(property) |
4 | print('part property changed: ',property) |
5 | end) |
6 |
7 | Part.Name = 'wow potato' -- the event fires. |
8 | 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.
1 | local Part = Instance.new('Part',workspace) |
2 |
3 | Part:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Name').Connect(function() |
4 | print('cool name change') |
5 | end) |
6 |
7 | Part.Name = 'wow potato' -- the event fires. |
8 | Part.Transparency = .5 -- the event doesnt fire here cuz it only fires when the name property has been changed |
