I keep getting an error no matter how many ways I try and define lives. Any ideas why this keeps happening?
while _G.Lives == nil do wait() end
lives = _G.Lives
lives.Changed:connect(function(NewValue)
if _G.Lives <= 2 then
textBox.Text = "test"
end
end)
###This is because lives is not an object, it’s a number. Variables don’t have changed events. Make lives an IntValue or NumberValue and it should work.
local lives = Instance.new"IntValue"
lives.Name = "Lives"
lives.Parent = game.Workspace -- put wherever
lives.Changed:Connect(function(newVal)
if newVal <= 2 then
textBox.Text = "test"
end
end)
###On a side note, use Connect, as ROBLOX may remove connect in the future.
Looks like it thinks lives is a number value such as 10 or 20, not a NumberValue as in the object you can use the .Changed event on.
How can I set it as a NumberValue?
You set it to one by creating it from Instance.new like my answer.

Worked, thank you so much. How did you learn all this stuff? I keep trying to experiment with things to learn but I'm really struggling with finding some good learning materials that are Roblox specific.
Heh, robloxdev.com
