I am just messing around with random numbers and was trying to make a system that would update every time a higher number is generated.
local rtext = script.Parent.Parent.Random
local htext = script.Parent
htext.Text = 0
while true do
wait(.01)
if rtext.Text > htext.Text then
htext = rtext
end
end
When I run this the console says I am trying to compare nil values, is there an easy way to make the text from a GUI into an integer value?
Tonumber() can solve your issue
local rtext = script.Parent.Parent.Random
local htext = script.Parent
htext.Text = tostring(0)
while true do
wait(.01)
if tonumber(rtext.Text) > tonumber(htext.Text) then
htext = rtext
end
end
It converts any given value to a number if possible.
Its because rtext doesnt have text, also because you used =, instead of == to compare values. Here is the script btw: I also used A and B instead of rtext and htext, so change it however you'd like.
local A = script.Parent.A
local B = script.Parent.B
B.Text = 0
A.Text = 0
while true do
wait(.01)
if A.Text == B.Text then
B = A
end
end
I meant comparing as in greater (>) or less than (<)
Just Replace (==) with (>) or (<), you just need to make scripts in the TextBoxes to update using basic variables, or do what the other guy said and use Tonumber().

on line 8, you may want to change them to “if tonumber(rtext.Name) > tonumber(htext.Name) then”. tonumber() can change any string variable or instance into a readable format for the computer, so it’s best to use this function when reading numbers off of a string.
