How do i use a text from a textbox as a number value(when it's a number of course)?
So i have a textbox inside a gui that has a number 1 inside it by default, i need to be able to use whatever number is in that textbox as a number value that i can compare and add or subtract from other numbers inside various scripts. Any ideas how i could do that?

Wait, are you going to use RemoteEvents, if so you could easily fire it to the client or server and use the parameter of your number. TheOnlySmarts 233 — 5y

I will be using a remote event to transfer a few values from the client to the server and edit 2 of them in the server Echtic 128 — 5y

So how exactly am i supposed to work with those number parameters, if you don't feel like explaining i'd be satisfied with the dev wiki article link too Echtic 128 — 5y

I'm not entirely sure if I know what you mean but could you just add an actual numbervalue object with the same value and have the scripts call upon that? Robb12 12 — 5y

That value is being changed by the player in that text box, i need to be able to use that, but it cannot recognize that number inside the textbox as a number, it thinks of it as a string value Echtic 128 — 5y

You can get the number as tonumber(TextBox.Text) if it's really just a number. If someone is allowed to type in something that's not a valid number (like their name) tonumber() will give you nil.
