Extremely simple 6 line script isnt working?? (SIMPLE)
while true do
if script.Parent.Text:match("%d+") then
script.Parent.Value.Value = script.Parent.Text
wait(1)
end
end
Its supposed to check if a text is an integer, and if that text is an integer its supposed to put that integer into a numbervalue.
When I check numbervalue it reads back as 0.

script.Parent.Value.Value = tonumber(script.Parent.Text), You can't set number value to a string. airassassin99 0 — 6y

local num
while true do
num = tonumber(script.Parent.Text) -- attempt to convert text to number
if num then -- if non-nil, it was successful and 'num' equals the number
script.Parent.Value.Value = num
end
wait(1)
end

Yes, I used tonumber() and made a script similar to this yet it still will not work, looks like its time to give up = SyndicateHalo 40 — 6y

Please use local variables. They are easier to access, and the local num at the top of the script is not necessary. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

He is using local variables. Once a variable is defined as local, altering the value doesn't suddenly make it global. CootKitty 311 — 6y

The error probably has to do with the .Value.Value. Indexing something like this checks for properties before children, so they could be the case. If the value is an object value, I guess it would work. I'd be curious about that part though. Nothing wrong with the answer, I don't believe. CootKitty 311 — 6y

Trying using string.gmatch.
while wait(1) do
if string.gmatch(script.Parent.Text, "%d+") then
script.Parent.Value.Value = script.Parent.Text
end
end
