Level up system using >= for text?
So, I'm trying to make a level up system for a game I'm making but I get an error when I try to compare a string to a number. I can't figure out how I would do it since it it can only be text.
01 | --this is an example |
02 | local XP = script.Parent -- is a textlabel that displays how much XP they have |
03 | local LVL = script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel2 -- TextLabel that displays the level |
04 |
05 | if XP.text >= 2000 then --[[ This is what I need help with, I can't quite figure out how I would compare it to string.]] |
06 | LVL.text = 2 |
07 | --then it would show a pop up that says you leveled up |
08 | wait(3) |
09 | --you leveled up pop up disappears. |
10 | end |
I hope you can help ! if you can, THANKS!

You can do this with the tonumber function. It attempts to convert its argument to a number, will throw error if it cannot (e.g. you passed letter arguments or userdata arguments). Because of that, you may want to wrap tonumber in a pcall (protected call).
1 | local success, message = pcall(function() |
2 | if tonumber(XP.Text) >= 2000 then |
3 | -- code |
4 | end |
5 | end) |
