How to do a Vector3Value Calculation (-Vector3.x)?

How would I make a Vector3Value = the value of another Vector3Value, but, subtracts (1) from Vector3.x ? Below is what I have tried...

while wait(1) do
    script.Parent.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Off.Value.x - 0.635
    wait(6)
end

Wait what? I don't understand a thing you said. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

Basically, I want to take (100, 0, 0) in a value and subtract to make it (99, 0, 0). Moxeh 84 — 9y

Off.Value - Vector3.new(1,0,0) like how blue said. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

It's almost always better to do math with full Vector3s rather than to do the .x, .y, etc yourself.

You want to subtract something from Off.Value. So we should be expecting something like:

Off.Value - something

something should have 1 as an x value, and it shouldn't affect y or z. blah - 0 is still blah, y and z should be 0.

Off.Value - Vector3.new( 1, 0, 0 )
