you’ll need to use Roblox’s API to fetch the likes count from the game’s information. Here’s a simple script that demonstrates how you can do this:

luaCopy code

local gameId = -- Insert your game ID here
local textLabel = script.Parent:WaitForChild("LikesTextLabel")

local function updateLikes()
    local success, gameInfo = pcall(game.MarketplaceService.GetProductInfo, game.MarketplaceService, gameId)
    
    if success then
        local likes = gameInfo.FavoritesCount
        textLabel.Text = "Likes: " .. tostring(likes)
    else
        textLabel.Text = "Likes: N/A"
    end
end

updateLikes()

Here’s how to use this script:

  1. Insert a TextLabel into your game UI.
  2. Replace gameId with the ID of your game (can be found in the URL of your game’s Roblox page).
  3. Place the script in a location where it can access the TextLabel (e.g., as a child of the TextLabel’s parent).

This script uses the GetProductInfo method from the MarketplaceService to retrieve information about the game, including the number of favorites (likes). If the retrieval is successful, it updates the TextLabel’s text to display the likes count. If there’s an error (such as an incorrect game ID), it shows “Likes: N/A”.

Remember that this script relies on the API and requires your game to be published on Roblox. Additionally, be aware that Roblox’s API and services might change over time, so it’s a good practice to refer to Roblox’s official documentation for the most up-to-date information.

I think you didn’t understand it, he wants to make a likes counter, and I put him if he read the question, because his code has nothing to do with it.
