Button Simulator Style Game

#1

I’m looking into making a Button Simulator Style game and I’m wonder how other would achieve making the buttons increase in price while also saving the price so when a player comes back to a server it will be the same price it was when they left.

i dont get what your trying to accomplish

#3

What do you mean with “make the prices save to individual clients”? and i also dong get what do you are trying to accomplish

#4

DataStores are the way to go when trying to save data.

So you wanna make it so you can buy upgrades that scale price? Well, you can just save the amount of times the player has bought the upgrade and maybe use multiplication to decide the price on the client. If that’s what you’re trying to do.

So basically when a player purchases an upgrade from a button the price will increase and once the player leaves the price will save so when they join back it’ll be the same price they left it

Instead of complicating yourself with the actual datastores, try this library: How to use DataStore2 - Data Store caching and data loss prevention

when u say button im assuming your talking about a ui button rather then a click detector

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local UpgradeDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Upgrades")

local function calculateMultiplier(value)
	local baseMultiplier = 2
	local exponent = 0.5

	-- Calculate the dynamic multiplier
	local dynamicMultiplier = baseMultiplier * math.log(value, 10)^exponent

	return math.round(dynamicMultiplier)
end

game:GetService("MarketplaceService").PromptProductPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(userid, productId, isPurchased)
	if not isPurchased then
		return
	end
	if productId == 12345678 then
		local Old = UpgradeDataStore:GetAsync(userid)
		if Old then
			local dynamicMultiplier = calculateMultiplier(Old)
			UpgradeDataStore:SetAsync(userid, Old * dynamicMultiplier)
		end
	end
end)

i guess this then and just make it so when u click a button it prompts the product id
