Help with intvalues for creating leaderstats

[marble jasper]

local population = Instance.new("IntValue")
population.Value = "0/"..settings.EconomySettings.Base.MaxPopulation
population.Name = "👤"
population.Parent = leaderstats

i know why it doesnt work, but is it even possible to make it so the value displays something like 0/X instead of just 0 WHILE keeping it an intvalue so i can update it later. If i make it a string value i wont be able to update it later so is there any solution for this.

@marble jasper

what do you mwan

mean

just make it string or smtg?

you can have alot of way to do it

first

use string value

[marble jasper]

i think i figured it out

lemme

tell u what i did

so

[fair widget]

oh

bruh

ok

[marble jasper]

i made

an int value for my population

and then

parented it to the player instead of the leaderstats folder so it wouldnt show

and then i made a stringvalue that displayed the 0/whatever

[fair widget]

what

isnt it supposed to show

[marble jasper]

and then a function to update the string value whenever the intvalue changed

if i made the int value show

[fair widget]

no bro

[marble jasper]

it would just show "0"

[fair widget]

oh what

[marble jasper]

so i had to make a stringvalue

[fair widget]

try

[marble jasper]

in order to make it say

[fair widget]

try

[marble jasper]

0/whatever

?

[fair widget]

tostring(int.Value)

[marble jasper]

oh wait

you might be cooking

but will i be able to edit it later based on an int value so that it stays consistant

[fair widget]

edit what

[marble jasper]

the actual number

[fair widget]

you mean change the value in the intvalue?

yea

[marble jasper]

not just the string

[fair widget]

it basically just change the value from a number to a string

[marble jasper]

yeah but

[fair widget]

use IntVal.Changed

[marble jasper]

how do i detect if that number in the string is greater than something

for a shop or smh

[fair widget]

it'll fire everytime its value change

[marble jasper]

cuz i cant do >=

for a string

[fair widget]

why

then

you use

tonumber(string)

💀

[marble jasper]

wont that make the number a string?

ok im like

losing my mind

[fair widget]

becareful tho it might return nil so you'll have to do if type(tonumber(string)) ~= "number" then return end

let me sum it up

its just

tonumber

tostring

and .Changed:Connect(function())

[marble jasper]

ok im gonna

[elfin glade]

** You are now Level 2! **

[marble jasper]

try and figure out what this means

give me like 12 hours

i love coding 😄

[fair widget]

12 hours 💀

it literally

just mean

what the name says

but yea

[indigo otter]

just use a string value

and have a separate intvalue for the actual value and connect to value changed

[gusty compass]

you can do it with collection service, add a tag

[rose maple]

Dont insert intvalue
