Get the FPSPlayer component from the entity:
https://www.ultraengine.com/learn/Entity_GetComponent?lang=lua

Then you can modify that component's values.

Thanks but after getting the component how can i modify that value?

as coding.

[Josh]

component = entity:GetComponent("FPSPlayer")
if component ~= nil then
	component.value = 1

misunderstanding

In Leadwerks the component is located at entity.script. Here is an example:

function Script:FindUsableEntity(entity)
	while entity~=nil do
		if entity.script then
			if type(entity.script.Use)=="function" then
				--If "enable" has not been set, it still won't be "false" so this will pass:
				if entity.script.enabled~=false then
					return entity
				else
					return nil
				end
			end
		end
		entity = entity:GetParent()
	end
	return nil
end
