This is not working. I need it in a function but when I change the string value in game.workspace this won't change

function example()
    data = game.Workspace.Numb
    while data.Value == 0 do
        print("same value")
    wait(1)
    end
    print("value = 1")
end
example()

Please help

Drop the `.Value` from `data`, set it with `data.Value = ...`, and don't mark posts as "Urgent" in the future. fredfishy 833 — 5y

sorry I don't get it superbolt999 36 — 5y

Line 2 should be `data = game.Workspace.Numb`, and like 3 should be `while data.Value == 0 do`. fredfishy 833 — 5y

If you do `data = game.Workspace.Numb.Value`, data is set to literally the value of Numb, rather than being a reference to the field. To do what you're doing, you need it to be a reference to the field, rather than an absolute value. fredfishy 833 — 5y

I changed it but it still did not work superbolt999 36 — 5y

it's because data is not = to 0 INOOBE_YT 387 — 5y

so the while loop stops, and "same value" does not print INOOBE_YT 387 — 5y

You don't need a reference to the property. Just directly access the property. User#24403 69 — 5y

Directly accessing the property is still a reference to the property. fredfishy 833 — 5y
