Are you sure price and value of Gems is a number?

what do you mean by that??? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I assume you’re making a shop system. In which case checking if the player can afford that item.

The error is saying that the value of the price variable is a string when the other value (gems) is a number. They both need to be the same type.

Can you also send your full script so I can get a closer look?

How are you setting price?
Is Gems.Value an IntValue or a NumberValue or a StringValue.

I didn’t ask where, I asked how.
Does the player enter a text message value?
Is it set as a number by the script?

Try print(leaderstats.Gems.Value, " price = ", price)

ok here:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game:GetService("Players")

local remotes = replicatedStorage.Remotes
local eggs = workspace.Mainfolder_workspace.Eggs

local playerHatchDebounce = {}

local function chooseRandomPet(petTable)
	local chosenPet = nil
	local randomNumber = math.random(1, 100)
	local weight = 0

	for i, v in pairs(petTable) do
		weight += v.chance

		if weight >= randomNumber then
			chosenPet = v
			break
		end
	end

	return chosenPet
end

for _, egg in pairs(eggs:GetChildren()) do
	egg.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
		local eggData = require(egg.Data)
		local price = eggData.eggPrice
		local currency = eggData.eggCurrency

		if Player.leaderstats.Gems.Value >= price then
			if not playerHatchDebounce[player] then
				playerHatchDebounce[player] = true
				local chosenPet = chooseRandomPet(eggData.eggPets)
				Player.leaderstats[currency].Value -= price
				remotes.HatchEgg:FireClient(player, egg.Name, chosenPet)
				local leaderFolder = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
				leaderFolder.Name = tostring(chosenPet.petName)
				leaderFolder.Parent = player.Pets
				task.wait(6)
				playerHatchDebounce[player] = false
			end
		end
	end)
end

player.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	if playerHatchDebounce[player] then
		playerHatchDebounce[player] = nil
	end
end)

So, is eggPrice actually a number?

do you mean like seriously or in the script?

#17

Also try this: print(typeof(price), typeof(Player.leaderstats.Gems.Value)) to find out which one is causing the error.

The issue is how you set eggprice.
If it’s a value in a table that has been entered as a StringValue instead of a NumberValue then of course it’ll error.
That’s why we are asking these questions, to help you understand the issue.
The print line I told you to try needs to be put in front of your error line.
