How do I do arithmetic with attribute?
1 | SecTime = game.workspace:GetAttribute("Second") |
2 | while true do |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | SecTime = SecTime + 1 |
5 | game.Workspace:SetAttribute("Second", SecTime) |
6 | end |
It gives me a error, attempting to do arithmetic at line 4. How do i fix it

haven’t used attributes but I’m pretty sure I remember that you can choose what type they are (string, number, etc) you probably made it a string by accident Speedmask 661 — 3y

Hello!
You see, strings can not be added, subtracted, multiplied, whatever, with a number. What you can do, is to first convert the string to a number, and then convert it back to a string.
1 | local string = "200" |
2 |
3 | local finalnumber = tonumber(string) + 300 |
4 |
5 | local finalstring = tostring(finalnumber) |
If you're confused, you can go here for an article about strings and their behavior.
I hope this helps!

your code was much deprecation
1 | local start = os.time() |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | local now = os.time() |
5 | workspace:SetAttribute("Second", math.floor(now - start)) |
6 | wait(0.5) |
7 | end |
