How many digits?

Well, you need to use string.len

If the value is only digits, then you can get the length of the value, which will tell you how many digits there are.

Here's an example:

local Number = 73948329

local Digits = string.len(tostring(Number))

print(Digits)

example2: local bit = "Billy bob broke bob's billy bike." print(#bit) ryan32t 306 — 4y

I'm not a 100% sure on if this works, but try this:

local value = script.Parent.Digits.Value
if #value > 3 then
    print("Your code here")
end
