Hello, making a GUI that show's a current song. I made it so the ID song will get in a NumberValue so I can do if ID == "123" Text.Text = "Song" But it's not changing the text. Halp me pl0x.
local TEXT = script.Parent.Frame.TextLabel
local ID = game.Workspace.MusicPlayer:FindFirstChild("ID")
while true do
wait(0.1)
if ID.Value == "467472854" then
TEXT.Text = "SONG"
end
end
#The problem
You're comparing a NumberValue with a StringValue, the if then statement will never fire because Numbers cannot be associated with strings.
#tonumber and tostring
You can use tostring() to turn the string to a number or use tonumber() to turn the number to a string.
print(type(tostring(2))) --Prints the type of value
print(type(tonumber("2+2"))) --Prints the type of value
string
number
#Final Product
local TEXT = script.Parent.Frame.TextLabel
local ID = game.Workspace.MusicPlayer:FindFirstChild("ID")
ID.Changed:connect(function() --Used the Changed event instead so you don't have to use infinite loops, those things cause lag.
if ID.Value == 467472854 then --Just erased the quotes to make it a number
TEXT.Text = "SONG"
end
end)
Hope it helps!

You are trying to compare a NumberValue to a String, which you cannot do. Simply get rid of the quotes around the String with the ID, and your code should work.
