What went wrong?

[vivid quartz]

this is just a gui button and textbox where you can input the amount you want to heal yourself and click a button to be healed. i cant figure out why the text in the textbox is always counted as nil.

[reef cipher]

because the textbox's text is only being declared as nil when the script starts, define the new number inside the button1click event into healamount

[vivid quartz]

how did i miss that 😭

i moved the health variable to the function for the exact same reason

[reef cipher]

happens to us all

[vivid quartz]

oh great even more issues

[reef cipher]

what

[vivid quartz]

what even is this

is like the regen script in the player character bugging it

[jade perch]

If you want to regen

[reef cipher]

probably cuz you touched the damage part multiple times and it has a .spawn function that delays the damage or something lol

[jade perch]

You can also put a negative nulber with takedamage

[vivid quartz]

i was gonna do a seperate button for that i didnt even realise you could just put negatives

[vivid quartz]

i mean maybe, i just grabbed whatever damage part i found so i could test it

no yeah it works

bad damage part

[jade perch]

Instead of humanoid.health .. try :
humanoid:TakeDamage(-1 * tonumber(HealthAmount)

[vivid quartz]

why

[jade perch]

Its just another option

[vivid quartz]

does this like stop you from taking damage from it

[jade perch]

But if its work now

Its fine

[vivid quartz]

let me test

[jade perch]

Its just heal you

[vivid quartz]

i see

[reef cipher]

also is that your artwork on the gui?

[vivid quartz]

no its from a game

lol

[jade perch]

Since i guess the number we put as argument in take damage is substracted to the health, but if its a negative its like health - (-number) wich is like health + number

But what u did is totally fine

So its working now right?

[vivid quartz]

yes

[jade perch]

What was the error ? Like poe said ?

[vivid quartz]

i think ill use the same textbox for the damage button too and just make both of them grab values from the textbox

[vivid quartz]

yes

[reef cipher]

or just put a neg number into the textbox and press heal lol

[vivid quartz]

spix gave me an equation that only heals so i think its less confusing to bumbling idiots if i add a second damage button

[distant wolf]

Give up on scripting

let buddy be
