How to convert integer value to a string?
I have an integer value, and I need to convert the numbers it displays into a string to show it on a GUI. Any idea how?
[EDIT] My script
1 | while true do |
2 | script.Parent.Text = game.Workspace.Shields.Value + "%" |
3 | wait(0.1) |
4 | end |

If I'm correct, you'd use the tostring method to convert a number or integer to a string.
1 | while true do |
2 | script.Parent.Text = tostring(game.Workspace.Shields.Value .. "%") -- use tostring method to convert integer to string |
3 | wait(0.1) |
4 | end |
By the way, to combine 2 strings/integers, use .. instead of +, because + makes the script try to add 2 values. You can't add a string + a number.

You can do this one of two ways.
Calling the function
tostringon the numberx = tostring(number) print(x)
Concatenation
x = 5 print("High"..x) --> "High5"

Could you show me how to do that with the script I edited into my question? JJ_B 250 — 9y

..then use concatenation.. as I did in the second example. (script.Parent.Text = "string"..number) ImageLabel 1541 — 9y

The '+' is used for concatenation in other languages, like JavaScript. Probably confused him. Perci1 4988 — 9y

Possible, although I did have an example along with the term. ImageLabel 1541 — 9y
