script.Parent.Value.Value = script.Parent.Text

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.
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 =
Please use local variables. They are easier to access, and the local num at the top of the script is not necessary.
He is using local variables. Once a variable is defined as local, altering the value doesn't suddenly make it global.
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.
Did I just double negative? ...
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

Just use tonumber() ?
how would i use that @kingdom5?
tonumber(link to the path)
hey look an infinite loop that can be replaced with an event....................................
script.Parent.Value.Value = tonumber(script.Parent.Text), You can't set number value to a string.
