I have a screengui that is supposed display “intermission-30” and so on but when I do
Number = 30
Script.parent.Text = “intermission”Number
It doesn’t work. Is there something I’m missing? EDIT: by it doesn’t work I mean it displays “intermission” but nothing else
This answer's to be used as a reference
Hello there. :p It's me! :D
The solution to your question's to use concatenation, where the Dev Hub defines it as an "implicit or automatic conversion of a value from one type to another".
Alrighty, I think that's good enough...
WAIT JUST A MOMENT!
Ack, oh no!
Give an example on how to use concatenation!
Ok. ;-;
An example of how to use concatenation's the following;
local HelloStringExample = 'Hello '
local WorldStringExample = 'World!'
print(HelloStringExample .. WorldStringExample) --> Hello World!
When using concatenation, you can even use numbers and booleans;
print('2 + 2 is ' .. 4 .. ' is ' .. tostring(true)) --> 2 + 2 is 4 is true
And that should be it. Right?
Yes.
Yay! :D
Stuff talked about or touched on
Concatenation - Best way I can describe it's that that it combines two or more values together.
Tostring - Converts a value into a string.
Booleans - true/false :p

So I would put “Intermission” .. Number. I see. Can you make this an answer? I want to give you reputation when I add it in.
