My string value wont change twice?

Asked 25 views1 answers

i made an inventory gui with string values in it, when i click one of the slots it changes the string value in it but it wont change anymore, so if i remove the item in the slot, the value stays the same and wont change.

this is a part of the script to make you understand what it should do...

function OnClicked()
	local item = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemName.Value
	local itemC = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemClass.Value
	local itemA = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemAmount.Value

if item == "None" then

	item = "Test"
	itemC = "Testing"
	itemA = "1"
elseif item  == "Test" then
       item = "None"
	itemC = "None"
	itemA = "0"
end
end

thats just an example of what it looks..

ps: this is in a local script

I remember making this exact error myself. You are setting the actual value of the StringValue as your variables, not the actual Instance itself. So what you are doing is this:

item = "None"

instead of

item = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemName

Kind of confusing. To fix this, set your variables to the Instances and not the values, and then change all things in your script that says "item" to "item.Value".

Take a look:

function OnClicked()
	local item = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemName
	local itemC = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemClass
	local itemA = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ItemAmount
	if item.Value == "None" then
		item.Value = "Test"
		itemC.Value = "Testing"
		itemA.Value = "1"
	elseif item.Value  == "Test" then
		item.Value = "None"
		itemC.Value = "None"
		itemA.Value = "0"
	end
end

I know it's a pain, but it is what it is.
