How do I make a number have corresponding text?
Hello. I am making a remake of Flood EScape 2 and I was wondering how tomake a number have a corresponding text. For example, one is easy. Here is my script so far:
1 | if Difficulty.Value = 1 then |
2 | TextName3.Text = Easy |
3 | end |
Here are the variables:
1 | local Difficulty = game.Workspace.Lost_Forest.Settings.Difficulty |
2 | local TextName3 = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextName3 |

Is game.Workspace.Lost_FOrest.Settings.Difficulty an IntValue? DemGame 271 — 4y

You can use a dictionary to define what each number means.
It would look like this:
1 | Local names = { |
2 | ["1"] = "Easy", |
3 | ["2"] = "Normal", |
4 | ["3"] = "Hard", |
5 | } |
You can easily get the value of your key like this:
1 | TextName3.Text = names[Difficulty.Value] |
You can use an array/table too if you are only using numbers to call a value.

Sorry, but this answer doesn't work. The output is "Workspace.Lost_Forest.SettingsScript:21: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got nil)" Borkingforlife 9 — 4y

The main problem with your script is on line 2, as "Easy" isn't a defined variable yet. You can also use an array to convert numbers into strings quickly without making 3 extra lines of code.
You can also use a function to actively change the gui's text.
Here's your edited code:
1 | local Difficulty = workspace["Lost_Forest"].Settings.Difficulty |
2 | local TextName3 = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextName3 |
3 | local DifficultiesArray = {"Easy", "Medium", "Hard", "Insane", "Crazy"} |
4 |
5 | --Heres a tip!: You can replace "game.Workspace" with just "workspace". |
6 |
7 | Difficulty.Changed:Connect(function() |
8 | TextName3.Text = DifficultiesArray[Difficulty.Value] |
9 | end) |
