                print(message: string.Concat("Placed ", _slot.itemObject, " on ", _slot.parent.inventory.type, ", Allowed Items: ", string.Join(", ", _slot.AllowedItems)));
                
                for (int i = 0; i < _slot.item.buffs.Length; i++)
                {
                    for (int j = 0; j < attributes.Length; j++)
                    {
                        if (attributes[j].type == _slot.item.buffs[i].attribute)//if attribute on item is same as on char
                            attributes[j].value.AddModifier(_slot.item.buffs[i]);//take attr on char take value add modifier
                    }
                }

can't read your mind: what does the value of the slider represent ? what does "health value" mean ? "buff" means null ?

what is happening now that causes an error, or that you believe is an error ?

there is no error.. the value of the buff is on the item itself i put a min value and max value and when its equipped it picks a value inbetween.. my health represents player health but when the item is equipped it DOES NOT actually change my health.. and the value of the slider is obviously once again for the health value.

If you only have the one slider for the one player, great a "global" i.e. static reference to the slider. When the player health is updated, update the slider.

C#

class YYY
public static Slider HealthSlider { get { return this.xxxx; } }
...
...
YYY.HealthSlider.Value = ...

If you have a global "collection", use a static for that too (e.g. the armory).

This is one situation where "globals" are good, and you should understand why ... so you can defend yourself when (most) everyone else will say not to.
