Script not detecting NumberValue changing?

Asked 155 views1 answers

The part that fires it is at the bottom. No errors. The print("test") part doesnt fire when the amount is changed.

local al = script.Parent.AMOUNTLEFT

function changed()
	print("test")
	local nl = script.Parent.AMOUNTLEFT.Value
	for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren())do
		if v.Name == "Bamboo 1" then
			for i,vv in pairs(v:WaitForChild("Bamboo 1")["Parts to (Collect)"]:GetChildren())do
				if nl == 5 then
					if vv.Name == "B1" then
						vv.Transparency = 0

						vv.Transparency = 0

Do not use .Value in variables.

you can try this:

local al = script.Parent.AMOUNTLEFT

function changed()
    print("test")
    local nl = script.Parent.AMOUNTLEFT
    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren())do
        if v.Name == "Bamboo 1" then
            for i,vv in pairs(v:WaitForChild("Bamboo 1")["Parts to (Collect)"]:GetChildren())do
                if nl.Value == 5 then
                    if vv.Name == "B1" then
                        vv.Transparency = 0
                    end 
                                        if vv.Name == "B2" then
                        vv.Transparency = 0
                                        end 
                                                            if vv.Name == "B3" then
                        vv.Transparency = 0
                                                            end

For me this works. printed the "test" you are using a LocalScript or Server Script?

im using a server script, it is inside of a group which has that number value in it, when i change it nothing happens, ive tried a simple .Changed:Connect(function() in a different script. Still nothing
