COMMUNITY QUESTION
Why when I type 0.2 in a NumberValue is shows up as 0.20000000000000989?
1 answer
I'm a little bit stumped about this. Try 0.02 if you are aiming for that. (0.02 < 0.2 = 0.20 if you dont' know decimal numbers, which i'm pretty sure you do) or 0.20000000000 (the same amount of 0's that was shown on there)

It's due how floating point numbers are stored in the memory. I don't think it's possible to circumvent this unless you want to do some stuff such as storing it as a string then using tonumber() to edit it and back using tostring() to store it again.
You can always round to a certain decimal place, if you know what place you need to round to.
That can also work.
I tried using a StringValue and tonumber() and it worked!
If you're just setting the Text of a GuiButton then you don't need to convert the string value into a number.
