wait(5)
local moneyButton = script.Parent
local minValue = script.Parent.MinimumValue
local maxValue = script.Parent.MaximumValue
local npcDialogueFrame = script.Parent.Parent
local values = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Values
local moneyMultiplier = values.MoneyMultiplier

moneyButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local money = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Money")
	
	local randomAmount = math.random(minValue.Value, maxValue.Value)
	local randomAmountMultiplied = randomAmount * moneyMultiplier.Value
	money.Value += randomAmountMultiplied
	
	npcDialogueFrame.Visible = false
end)

You can just make one remote event and send the money value to that remote event through multiple scripts…

#3

is there also a way with out remote events?

#4

Maybe there is, is the script you provided a server script or a local script?

#5

local script in a button dddddd

#6

I don’t think this part is necessary, remove it and your script would work

#7

thats just so everyting loads _________

#8

Still, it causes the script to not work… It’s not really necessary…

#9

You will need to use a RemoteEvent if you are using GuiButtons.

#10

it still doesnt give an error it does cloeses the gui at the end but gives no money

#11

An arbitrary wait is extremely unnecessary. Since the script is a child of the ScreenGui, there should be no issue of things not loading unless if you add them later; however, you should use WaitForChild in that scenario rather than an abritrary wait.

#12

Are you using any DataStores to save players’ data? If yes, then using RemoteEvent is a good solution. Can you give me the reason that you want to avoid using RemoteEvent?

#13

Then use a remote event just like what @COUNTYL1MITS said

#14

ok ill try the remote events but i have no idea how so thats why i dint want to use can you maybe show me

#15

Ok.
Example:

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local amount = 100
    event:FireServer(amount)
end)

On the server…

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,amount)
    print(amount) -- prints 100
end)
#16

Take a look at this page and the page I sent above in a previous reply.

I think this will work thank you but how can i add the money to the player ive tried this but, it doesnt work do you know how maybe?

	player.leaderstats.Money.Value += amount

Client:

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")
local button = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer or game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local amount = 100
    event:FireServer(amount,money)
end)

Server:

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,amount,money)
    print(amount) -- prints 100
    money.Value += amount
end)
#19

It would be a better idea to define the amount on the server rather than have the client send it over as it can be very exploitable.

I did, but thanks for the tip.
