attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'Value' (a string value)?
I keep getting this error saying "attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'Value' (a string value)"
local seats = workspace.Seats
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local num = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild('InfoValue2')
for _,seat in pairs(seats:GetChildren()) do
if seat:IsA("Seat") then
seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):connect(function()
if seat.Occupant ~= nil then
num = num.Value + 1 --THIS IS THE LINE I GET THE ERROR FROM.
else
num = num.Value - 1
end
end)
end
end
It's suppose to added a number to the value every time I player sits, for an example if there's 2 people sitting down on the seat and another player sits, it's suppose to change the value from 2 to 3. (The String Value changes the text to a UI.)

The "num" value is a string value, and you cannot perform math on it. What you are trying to do is add/subtract 1 to text, which is impossible.
What you need is a number value, then use the tostring() function on that number value.
You can perform that math on a number value.
This number value can also be a variable, but if you're using multiple scripts that need this value, then I recommend that you add a number value.
Hope this helps!
