Script not taking away from a value?
I'm trying to make an "Attempts" script, where you only have 5 attempts, but the script won't subtract the value.
local UName = script.Parent:WaitForChild("UName")
-------------------------------------
local UPass = script.Parent:WaitForChild("UPass")
-------------------------------------
local Attempts = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Attempts").Value
-------------------------------------
local Button = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Login")
-------------------------------------
local pass = {
["Herro"] = true;
}
-------------------------------------
local transparency = 0
-------------------------------------
local debounce = false
-------------------------------------
local countdown = 10
-------------------------------------
local warning = "You have "..Attempts.." attempts left."
----------------------
local function checkAttempts()
if Attempts == 0 then
--Randomness
else
Attempts = Attempts - 1 --Here
script.Parent.Warning.Text = warning
wait(3)
script.Parent.Warning.Text = ""
debounce = false
end
end
-------------------------------------
Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
if pass[UPass.Text] then
--Randomness
else
checkAttempts()
end
end
end)
It will display the text, just not subtract the value. Any suggestions, because there aren't any errors.
Info:
--No filtering Enabled --It's a local script.

Try assigning "Attempts" to the Attempts object itself instead of the value, then use Attempts.Value whenever you wish to refer to it through your script. Let me know if that works and I will provide more details afterwards Necrorave 560 — 8y

You are using the value of attempts and but not setting them remove the "value" part at the top and change line 25 to Attempts.Value = Attempts.Value -1 so that it updates User#5423 17 — 8y

Its a simple yet common mistake, on line 05, all you need to do is take away the ".Value" part and re-assign this to where you next use the variable. This is because when you assigned the variable you also assigned the value which means that you cant change it, where as now you can access the child of it:

local UPass = script.Parent:WaitForChild("UPass")

local Attempts = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Attempts")
-------------------------------------
local Button = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Login")
-------------------------------------
local pass = {
["Herro"] = true;
}

local transparency = 0
-------------------------------------
local debounce = false
-------------------------------------
local countdown = 10
-------------------------------------
local warning = "You have "..Attempts.Value.." attempts left."
----------------------
local function checkAttempts()
if Attempts.Value == 0 then
--Randomness
else
Attempts.Value = Attempts.Value - 1
script.Parent.Warning.Text = warning
wait(3)
script.Parent.Warning.Text = ""
debounce = false
end
end
-------------------------------------
Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
if pass[UPass.Text] then
--Randomness
else
checkAttempts()
end
end
end)
