How to make a value go up to 9 then start back at 1 in a MouseClick?
local number = 1
local clickDetector = script.Parent
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
local wChildren = game:GetService("Workspace"):GetChildren()
for i,c in pairs(wChildren) do
if string.sub(c.Name, 1, 2) == "FM" then
c.Parent = game.Lighting
local fm = 'FM'..number
if game:GetService("Lighting"):FindFirstChild(fm) then
local fm1 = game:GetService("Lighting"):FindFirstChild(fm)
fm1.Parent = game:GetService("Workspace")
print(fm)
number = number + 1
else
local number = 1
print('FM'..number)
end
end
end
end)
the problem is that it won't continue with the if loop, it just stops in the else statement, but I want it to go with the loop
this is the entire output
FM1
FM2
FM3
FM4
FM5
FM6
FM7
FM8
FM9
FM1
why doesnt it go back to FM1 and then loop the output again?

You need to check for when "number" equals 9, then set it back to 1. FishslayerX 8 — 4y

No. There is 9 folders in my Lighting and I already do that by checking if there is a 10th folder or not, but there isn't, so it is supposed to start the 1-9 loop again from 9. Dan_PanMan 227 — 4y

As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with your script apart from line 18 where you said local number = 1. Presumably you would go from 1 - 9 and subsequently be stuck there? Im gonna include an example for cycling through a list anyways(place in a part btw):
local part = script.Parent
local n = 0
local clickD = Instance.new("ClickDetector", part)
local list = {"fm1","fm2","fm3","fm4","fm5","fm6","fm7","fm8","fm9"} -- hyperrealistic replica of sounds
clickD.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if n < 9 then
n = n + 1
else
n = 1
end
print(list[n])
end)

Lines 8-16 gave me the wanted output, really thank you for that! Dan_PanMan 227 — 4y
