local Number = script.Parent.Number
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetFullName()
local Max = script.Parent.Max.Value
local PlayerCrops = game.Workspace.CropsInBackpack.Value
Number.Text = (PlayerCrops.. " / ".. Max)
So, I want to check if a number value got updated. How would I do that? For example, If say a number value of 1 got updated to like a value of 3. How would I check for that? So I can update my Gui everytime the value gets changed.
Hi there! What you could do is store an IntValue in a script, and then write something like this in another script, if I am correct:
script.Number.Value.Changed:Connect(function()
--stuff here :D
end)
If this doesn't work, let me know!
For if your number is actually a NumberValue object, not a variable:
local Number = script.Parent.Number -- The gui that will change
local NumberValueThatWillChange = game.Workspace.CropsInBackpack -- Hopfully this is the number that changes
NumberValueThatWillChange.Changed:Connect(function(Property)
if Property = "Value" then -- Make sure that the value is changing, not the name or something
Number.Text = tostring(NumberValueThatWillChange) -- tostring makes sure of no errors in that area
end)
For if your number is a variable:
local Number = script.Parent.Number -- The gui that will change
local NumberValueThatWillChange = 69 -- 69, Nice
local PastNumberValue = NumberValueThatWillChange -- To check for updates
while true do
if PastNumberValue ~= NumberValueThatWillChange then
PastNumberValue = NumberValueThatWillChange
Number.Text = tostring(NumberValueThatWillChange) -- tostring makes sure of no errors in that area
end
wait(.1)
end
Ah. I was unaware of that.I did mean to put the second '=' on line 5. Thank you for the correction though. The while loop was for the local variable, not an IntValue.

Correction: "script" refers to the script with the IntValue, not the script that checks if the number value is updated.
(IntValue.Value.Changed) will error. You have to do (IntValue.Changed)
Thanks to your answer I found out about the Changed event, thank you so much!
Ah, thanks! Normally I would've caught that!
