textbox to change property? how to make it a numbervalue?
so you probably did not understand the question but what I want to do is make a textbox, whatever you put in it is the rate of particles of a particle emmiter except im getting a string value so how do I do this????? ill show you a screenshot and my code
script.Parent.InputChanged:Connect(function()
string = script.Parent.Text
local hi = tonumber(string)
hi = game.Workspace.Particle.ParticleEmitter.Rate
end
end)
oh yeah and if I do this:
script.Parent.InputChanged:Connect(function()
string = script.Parent.Text
for numbers in string.gmatch(string,"%d") do
print(numbers)
game.Workspace.Particle.ParticleEmitter.Rate = numbers
end
end)
it can only go up to 9 if I put 10 it will think I put 1 and 0 please help

hey, no one answered me but after lots of work and thinking I found out how to do this
local box = script.Parent
local isPlayerEditing = true
box:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
if isPlayerEditing then
isPlayerEditing = false
box.Text = string.gsub(box.Text, "%D", "")
isPlayerEditing = true
end)
script.Parent.InputChanged:Connect(function()
local t = tonumber(script.Parent.Text)
game.Workspace.Particle.ParticleEmitter.Rate = t
game.Workspace.Particle1.ParticleEmitter.Rate = t
game.Workspace.Particle2.ParticleEmitter.Rate = t
game.Workspace.Particle3.ParticleEmitter.Rate = t
game.Workspace.Particle4.ParticleEmitter.Rate = t
game.Workspace.Particle5.ParticleEmitter.Rate = t
end)
first to use tonumber I need to make sure that the player cant input letters so that is the first thing box.Text = string.gsub
