How do I use values in other scripts?
So in one script in a model, I set a value: health = 10 So then in a different script I want to change that for something and I try to get to the value like this: script.Parent.Parent.Script.health It didn't work. How do I get to values in other scripts?

You can either set the value to an IntValue or use Global Variables. In your other script put _G.health = 10 and then in the other script you wanna use it just do local health = _G.health and it should work fine. 0xDEADC0DE 310 — 10y

I would store them as int values or number values.
at the top of script do
a script in workspace named 'healthScript'
1 | local health = Instance.new("NumberValue",script) |
2 | health.Name = "health" |
3 | health.Value = 10 |
4 |
5 | health.Changed:connect(function () print(health.Value) end) |
a script in workspace
1 | workspace.healthScript.health.Value = 5 |
This should print 5
Update: was half asleep and workspace is a bad idea to store scripts however thanks for adark pointing it out!
** Just a tip, it is bad practice to put Scripts in the Workspace. It's much safer to put them in the ServerScriptService. ** ~ adark
