NumberValue Increasing by a strange amount?

Asked by

5 years ago

I am trying to make a numbervalue increase by one everytime a tool is activated, but for some reason the number that im increasing the numbervalue by increases by 1 everytime the tool is activated, instead of increasing the numbervalue. Ex:

while true do
    local num = script.Parent.Value
    num.Value = num.Value + 1
    print (num)
    wait(1)
end

Output: 1 2 4 7 11 ...and so on...

Here is my code, I am referring to the part where is says "elseif y.Name=v.name" https://gyazo.com/8a71086d0b984838610372510ab67191

debounce = false
while true do
if not debounce then
debounce = true
    local num = script.Parent.Value
    num.Value = num.Value + 1
    print (num)
    wait(1)
    debounce = false
end

this makes it so the code cant run multiple times at once and u will only get + 1 value for each time

pls upvote if it works Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 5y

I think your problem is that you have already described what the value is. Your script is: while true do local num = script.Parent.Value num.Value = num.Value + 1 print (num) wait(``1``) end You have already said that the num is the script.Parent.Value. If you use num.value, it'll not worked because num already has the value in it. So try,

while true do
local num = script.Parent
num.Value = num.Value + 1

or you could say,

while true do
local numb = script.Parent.Value
num = num + 1

As I have said before, I am not very experienced with scripting, but I think this should help.

The script.parent isnt a numbervalue its a meshpart. The numbervalue is in the meshpart therefor script.Parent is a meshpart and the value is the child of the meshpart. DreamInspired 61 — 5y
