How to make sure two variables are the same if one changes?

Asked by

script.Parent.Value:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Value.Value
end)

error: text still isnt changing?

this is the script inside the text label that will change the text based on the IntValue's Value, but the text is not changing from 0 to 9292, because the IntValue is 9292 but text is not. How do I connect these two variables?

btw this is the script that changes the value, which is perfectly fine.

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local p1 = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.RI
local p2 = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.RII
local box = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.Box
local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local dicee = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.dice:GetChildren()
local dice = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.dice
local dicenum = #dicee

for i = 1,dicenum do
    local diceget = dicee[i]
    diceget.Anchored = true
end

local function roll()
    script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Rolling.Visible = true
    script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Roll.Visible = false
    player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.I.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.I.Value.Value + 1
    player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.II.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.II.Value.Value + 1
    player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.III.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.III.Value.Value + 1
    player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.IV.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.IV.Value.Value + 1
    player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.V.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.V.Value.Value + 1
    wait()

            tween:Play()

you can use the function :GetPropertyChangedSignal to accomplish this JesseSong 3916 — 3y

you need to connect the function that's why it errored. use script.Parent.Value:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() JesseSong 3916 — 3y

Define the local player first, then replace game.StarterGui to: player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") JesseSong 3916 — 3y

make sure it's in startergui or starterplayerscipts (also make sure it's a localscript) JesseSong 3916 — 3y

the second script is inside a part with a click detector that changes the values and moves some things, the first script is inside a text label that is getting its text changed Jakob_Cashy 79 — 3y

if that's the case then remove line 2. add a player event JesseSong 3916 — 3y

(Problem: Re-edited)

The problem is that you're using a local script inside of a server script which will result in an error. Instead, use a server script.

Add a remote in replicatedstorage

Server Script


local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local p1 = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.RI
local p2 = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.RII
local box = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.Box
local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local dicee = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.dice:GetChildren()
local dice = script.Parent.Parent.rollmove.dice
local dicenum = #dicee

for i = 1,dicenum do
    local diceget = dicee[i]
    diceget.Anchored = true
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Rolling.Visible = true
    script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Roll.Visible = false

    wait()
    local function moveItem(item, wp)
        local ti = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
        local tween = ts:Create(item, ti, { Position = wp.Position})
        tween:Play()
        wait(2)
    end
    local function moveItems(item, wp)
        local ti = TweenInfo.new(0.1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
        local tween = ts:Create(item, ti, { Position = wp.Position})
        tween:Play()
        wait(0.1)
    end
    for i = 1,dicenum do
        local diceget = dicee[i]
        moveItems(diceget, p1)
    end
    moveItem(box, p1)
    for i = 1,dicenum do
        local diceget = dicee[i]
        diceget.Transparency = 1
        moveItems(diceget, p2)
    end
    moveItem(box, p2)
    box.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,180,180)
    for i = 1,dicenum do
        local diceget = dicee[i]
        diceget.Transparency = 0
        diceget.Anchored = false
    end
    wait(2)
    for i = 1,dicenum do
        local diceget = dicee[i]
        diceget.Anchored = true
        diceget.Transparency = 1
        moveItems(diceget, p1)
    end
    moveItem(box,p1)
    box.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
    script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Rolling.Visible = false
    script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Roll.Visible = true
end)

Client

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.I.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.I.Value.Value + 1
player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.II.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.II.Value.Value + 1
player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.III.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.III.Value.Value + 1
player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.IV.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.IV.Value.Value + 1
player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.V.Value.Value = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScoreCard.Background.line1.Rolls.V.Value.Value + 1
RemoteEvent:FireServer()

If it doesn't work, let me know so I can fix it.

You will need to use a remote event to get the playergui JesseSong 3916 — 3y

When answering, if your answer does not fully solve the question, it should be written as a comment to the question instead of as an answer.
script.Parent.Value:Changed:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Value.Value
end)

This should work

it did not Jakob_Cashy 79 — 3y
