Game not reading IntValue Correctly?

Hello! I've been struggling with a bigger problem inside of my game for a bit now, and I finally found the problem. However, I'm not sure how to fix it.

When a player joins, a folder is created inside them (in addition to leaderstats, they are siblings) and there is an intvalue inside of that. Every time I print the value, it returns 0 no matter what.

It is inside of a for loop, so Players[i] is the local player

1local Players = game.Players:GetChildren()
2for i =1, #Players do
3    local Spent = Players[i].folder.spent.Value
4    print("Spent "..Spent)
5end

This ALWAYS returns "Spent 0", and never returns an error

This is the code that changes it, it is in a textbutton in a localscript:

1script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
2    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
3    if player.leaderstats.Coins.Value > 4 then
4        player.spent.Value = player.spent.Value + 5
5        player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value - 5
6    end
7end)

The IntValue is being changed, right? xAtom_ik 574 — 5y

Yes, I tried doing it within my script and I tried changing the value in the explorer but neither worked Amanda314159 291 — 5y

Could we get the full code of your loop and when you set it? xAtom_ik 574 — 5y

Hi! I know the answer. The variable spent is a constant. To fix this, all you have to do it delete the value in "local spent".

`1`	`local` `Spent` `=` `Players[i].folder.spent`

`2`	`print("Spent "..Spent.Value)`

Because when you just do local Spent = Players[i].folder.spent.Value , that is a constant that will never change.
