Can't concatenate text?

Asked 235 views1 answers

So I've been working on a health GUI and it all works nicely, the bar scales and everything, but the text just does not update. I'm not sure if it's an error with concatenation or what, but it just doesn't work. Thanks!

maxHealth = player.Bin.MaxHealth
health = maxHealth

character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = maxHealth.Value
character.Humanoid.Health = health.Value


character.Humanoid.HealthChanged:connect(function()
	hpBar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(character.Humanoid.Health/character.Humanoid.MaxHealth,0,1,0),"Out","Quad",0.5)
	hpLabel.Text = ""..math.floor(health.Value)..""
	if character.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
		hpBar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0,0,1,0),"Out","Quad",0.5)
		hpLabel.Text = ""..math.floor(health.Value)..""
	end
end)

Try just using the tostring function in Lua

If we have an int value,

local int = 55

We can make this into a string using,

local int = 55
local string = tostring(int)

Your code,

Hopefully this will work,

maxHealth = player.Bin.MaxHealth
health = maxHealth

character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = maxHealth.Value
character.Humanoid.Health = health.Value


character.Humanoid.HealthChanged:connect(function()
    hpBar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(character.Humanoid.Health/character.Humanoid.MaxHealth,0,1,0),"Out","Quad",0.5)
    hpLabel.Text = tostring(math.floor(health.Value))
    if character.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
        hpBar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0,0,1,0),"Out","Quad",0.5)
        hpLabel.Text = tostring(math.floor(health.Value))
    end
end)

I hope I helped!

Good Luck!

That's odd. Usually numbers automatically convert to strings when concatenated, in Lua.
