Why isn't the output responding to the input correctly?
The script is part of a gui to buy something called bonds. I'm having a problem with (input which is script.Parent.Text) and (output which is script.Parent.Parent.HowManyResult.Text). when I put in a number in the script.Parent.Text, the number goes to script.Parent.Parent.InputVal.Value which is multiplied by bondprice to get the cost of however many bonds you want. However many bonds you want are only limited by the maximum amount of bonds which makes the maximum price. The bondprice.Value is 7. the output is supposed to be the bondprice.Value times the script.Parent.Parent.InputVal.Value and the problem is that the output isn't the input value * 7. If I wanted 1 bond the output would be 0 and it's supposed to be 7, that's the problem. Can someone help me, thank you. The script is below.

local maximumshares = math.floor(player.PlayerMoney.Value/bondprice.Value)
local maximumprice = math.floor(maximumshares*bondprice.Value)
local n = tonumber(script.Parent.Text)
if (not n) then return end
if theinput.Value > maximumshares then
script.Parent.Parent.HowManyResult.Text = "$" .. maximumprice
elseif theinput.Value < maximumshares then
script.Parent.Parent.HowManyResult.Text = "$" .. theinput.Value * bondprice.Value
end
end)
while wait(0.01) do
theinput.Value = script.Parent.Text
end

I believe your code is getting stuck in your while loop
local theinput = script.Parent.Parent.InputVal
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
function changed() --I changed the code you had into a function that we will call when the script.Parent changes
local bondprice = game.Lighting.Bank.Price.BondPrice
local maximumshares = math.floor(player.PlayerMoney.Value/bondprice.Value)
local maximumprice = math.floor(maximumshares*bondprice.Value)
local n = tonumber(script.Parent.Text)
if (not n) then return end
if theinput.Value > maximumshares then
script.Parent.Parent.HowManyResult.Text = "$" .. maximumprice
elseif theinput.Value < maximumshares then
script.Parent.Parent.HowManyResult.Text = "$" .. theinput.Value * bondprice.Value
end
end
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(funtion() -- Since this is in a localscript we can use RenderStepped from RunService check and update every frame that is rendered.
theinput.Value = script.Parent.Text
changed(); -- We are calling the function here to see if it changes.
end)
I hope this helped. If it did please accept this as the answer. If it didn't feel free to comment so I can try to help and figure out why it isn't working.
