Script wont add to int value in folder?

Asked 301 views1 answers

When I have my code in this format, it doesnt work. However if i take out the if condition for checking that the value is 0 it works. Im not sure why, hopefully one of you lovely people can figure it out

 ticket = script.Parent

debounce = 0

function onTouched(hit)

if debounce == 0 then

debounce = 1

local check = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if check ~= nil then

local user = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

local stats = user:FindFirstChild("orbfolder")

if stats ~= nil then

local ticket = stats:FindFirstChild("orb1")

if ticket.Value == 0 then

ticket.Value = ticket.Value + 1

wait(5)

debounce = 0

end

else

end

end

end

end

ticket.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

If the value you're referring to is TicketValue, then this is probably your problem.

1st time through:

if ticket.Value == 0 then --Checks if its 0, true
ticket.Value = ticket.Value + 1 --Adds one

2nd time through:

--Ticket value is now 1, not 0
if ticket.Value == 0 then --Checks if its 0, false
ticket.Value = ticket.Value + 1 --Wont add 1, because the prior statement was false.

When the function is fired again, the ticket value wont be 0. Its will be 1. Therefor, the check for ticket.Value == 0 would come back as false, and the code after it ticket.Value = ticket.Value + 1 would never fire.

Also, I'd like to suggest using booleans instead of 0 and 1 for your debounces.

ie:

Debounce = false

function Test()
	if not Debounce then --Same as saying "if Debounce == false"
		Debounce = true
			wait(10)
		Debounce = false
	end
end
	```
Hope this helped.

So basically, your function only works if they have no tickets. Oh and about the Boolean debounces, its just easier to read that way. Really nothing wrong with what you were doing.
