I know this probably has a fairly obvious answer but I can't figure it out. Can some one help me?
So, I am trying to add text to a textlabel but it gives me the error: attempted to preform arithmetic on field "Text" a string value. Here is the code:
1 | function onClicked() |
2 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text + "bleh bleh bleh " |
3 | script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false |
4 | end |
5 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) |

You're trying to add a string value. Adding only works with int/number values. You can set the text of the string by simply doing,
1 | function onClicked() |
2 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text = "bleh bleh bleh " --Just make it a string value |
3 | script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false |
4 | end |
5 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) |
If however you wanted to keep the text that's already there and just add new text to the end you would do,
1 | function onClicked() |
2 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text.."bleh bleh bleh "-- using two dots before the string |
3 | script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false |
4 | end |
5 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) |
If you wanted to add the string to the beginning of the text and keep the rest you would do this,
1 | function onClicked() |
2 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text = "Thanks Wfvj014"..script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.thingy.Text -- string before the value with your "dots" |
3 | script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false |
4 | end |
5 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) |
Hope that helped (:
Good luck!

It's string, why do you often write sting? Wutras 294 — 9y

Thank you so much, I feel so dumb because after I read this answer, I realised that I had already done this in the past. Lol UltChowsk 85 — 9y
