currentHeart gets the Current Heart :D Now the filled hearts value = the number of hearts that are visible. print(currentHeart) -- 3 script.Parent.Heart 3

Oh, so you want "script.Parent.Heart" in quotes. Hmm. What's currentHeart's classnName (StringValue, I would assume). Well, try this line instead: currentHeart = script.Parent.Heart" ..filledHearts.. ""

It should say what nil value it's talking about.

attempt to index a nil value :3 Would it affect the script if currentHealth is just a number value x3

Yes, because you can't put a string (here it's "script.Parent.Heart") in a NumberValue.

Umm...delete "script.Parent.Heart"? It doesn't seem to do anything...

currentHeart = "Heart ".. filledHearts --you want the name, not the path script.Parent:findFirstChild(currentHeart.Name).Image = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=51977605"
