I'm trying to make a timer, but it isn't working. Number values aren't working either. Why is this?
So I'm trying to make a timer, but the code isn't working. I've tried adding a number value, but it didn't work. Here is my script:
1 | local ltime = script.Parent.Value |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | script.Parent.Text = "Time alive:"..ltime |
5 | wait(1) |
6 | ltime = ltime + 1 |
7 | end |
Also, forgot to mention this, the textbox's text only says "TextBox".

You're trying to store an integer value in a Value field, and a string value in a Text field. No instance has both of those properties.
Now, assuming you put this script inside of a TextBox
1 | local textbox = script.Parent |
2 | local timealive = 0 |
3 |
4 | while true do |
5 | textbox.Text = ("Time alive:" .. timealive) |
6 | wait(1) |
7 | timealive = timealive + 1 |
8 | end |
