Problems with variables?
Hi,
i make a Script that checks if a Hotel Room is in use or not. There is a TextBox with the name "roomnumberhere" and a button. And there is a Model with the name "freiezimmer", in this model are boolvalues (true = in use, false = not in use). In the TextBox you enter the Number of the Room. That's my code:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local roomnumber = script.Parent.Parent.roomnumberhere.Text
local checkvalue = game.Workspace.freiezimmer.roomnumber
print("working")
end)
If i press the Button nothing happens, it just say: roomnumber is not a valid Member of Model. It says the Problem is in Line 3.

You're looking for an object/item named 'roomnumber' when you should be looking for an object that matches the variable. You can use FindFirstChild to find an object which matches the text:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local roomnumber = script.Parent.Parent.roomnumberhere.Text
local checkvalue = game.Workspace.freiezimmer:FindFirstChild(roomnumber)
print("working")
end)

And after that i can do something like: if checkvalue.Value == true then ....? OKRPLAY 25 — 8y

Yes. Though I would recommend adding in some string.match checks to see if it's even a number, otherwise it'll throw errors if the player tries to input letters and such. Pyrondon 2089 — 8y

Is there a Wiki Post about that? I'm bad at scripting. OKRPLAY 25 — 8y

if string.match(roomnumber, "%a") or string.match(roomnumber, "%p") then print("Those aren't numbers!") end You'd replace the print with however you want to handle that. I prefer setting it back to the previous number in this event. Pyrondon 2089 — 8y
