Cant change text

SANYAA_BL9 · March 2, 2024, 6:25pm

so i have this script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Prices = Player:WaitForChild("Prices")
local Upgrades = Player:WaitForChild("Upgrades")
local WalkSpeedUpgradePrice = Prices.WalkSpeedUpgradePrice
local WalkSpeedUpgrade = Upgrades.WalkSpeedUpgrade

local Abbreviations = {"", "K", "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi",}

local function Format(value, decimals)
	local ex = math.floor(math.log(math.max(1, math.abs(value)), 1000))
	local abbrevs = Abbreviations [1 + ex] or ("e+"..ex)
	local normal = math.floor(value * ((10 ^ decimals) / (1000 ^ ex))) / (10 ^ decimals)

	return ("%."..decimals.."f%s"):format(normal, abbrevs)
end

local function UpdateText(newValue)
	local FormattedText = Format(newValue, 2)

	script.Parent.Text = FormattedText
end

UpdateText(WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Value)
WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Changed:Connect(UpdateText)

and i want to make text says “MAX” when player WalkSpeedUpgrade = 5
i tried many ways but it doesn’t work

SANYAA_BL9 · March 2, 2024, 6:34pm

yes i tried if statement it doesn’t work

thijmenroonie · March 2, 2024, 6:57pm

try make this
this:

local WalkSpeedUpgrade = Upgrades.WalkSpeedUpgrade.Value

SANYAA_BL9 · March 2, 2024, 6:59pm

it’s just variable that i keep when trying to do

if WalkSpeedUpgrade.Value >= 5 then
UpdateText("MAX")
end

thijmenroonie · March 2, 2024, 7:01pm

Try setting .Value after the

at the top

not in the if statement.

SANYAA_BL9 · March 2, 2024, 7:03pm

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Prices = Player:WaitForChild("Prices")
local Upgrades = Player:WaitForChild("Upgrades")
local WalkSpeedUpgradePrice = Prices.WalkSpeedUpgradePrice
local WalkSpeedUpgrade = Upgrades.WalkSpeedUpgrade.Value

local Abbreviations = {"", "K", "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi",}

local function Format(value, decimals)
	local ex = math.floor(math.log(math.max(1, math.abs(value)), 1000))
	local abbrevs = Abbreviations [1 + ex] or ("e+"..ex)
	local normal = math.floor(value * ((10 ^ decimals) / (1000 ^ ex))) / (10 ^ decimals)

	return ("%."..decimals.."f%s"):format(normal, abbrevs)
end

local function UpdateText(newValue)
	local FormattedText = Format(newValue, 2)

	script.Parent.Text = FormattedText
end

if WalkSpeedUpgrade <= 5 then
UpdateText(WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Value)
WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Changed:Connect(UpdateText)
else
	UpdateText("MAX")
end

like that? didn’t work tho

thijmenroonie · March 2, 2024, 7:06pm

Maybe try this

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Prices = Player:WaitForChild("Prices")
local Upgrades = Player:WaitForChild("Upgrades")
local WalkSpeedUpgradePrice = Prices.WalkSpeedUpgradePrice
local WalkSpeedUpgrade = Upgrades.WalkSpeedUpgrade.Value

local Abbreviations = {"", "K", "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi",}

local function Format(value, decimals)
	local ex = math.floor(math.log(math.max(1, math.abs(value)), 1000))
	local abbrevs = Abbreviations [1 + ex] or ("e+"..ex)
	local normal = math.floor(value * ((10 ^ decimals) / (1000 ^ ex))) / (10 ^ decimals)

	return ("%."..decimals.."f%s"):format(normal, abbrevs)
end

local function UpdateText(newValue)
	local FormattedText = Format(newValue, 2)

	script.Parent.Text = FormattedText
end

While true do
wait(1)
if WalkSpeedUpgrade <= 5 then
UpdateText(WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Value)
WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Changed:Connect(UpdateText)
else
	UpdateText("MAX")
end
end

What this does it it checks ever 1 seconds if the player has less then 5 speedupgrades and if not it sets the text to “MAX”.

still no as i said i tried many ways
but it like ignores if statements

thijmenroonie · March 2, 2024, 7:13pm

Did you try putting the while true loop in different places?

SANYAA_BL9 · March 2, 2024, 7:15pm

just put all script in while true do and still no

greyastros · March 2, 2024, 7:16pm

Is this a serverscript or a local script??

thijmenroonie · March 2, 2024, 7:18pm

Localscript because

put this here because it was not long enough

SANYAA_BL9 · March 2, 2024, 7:18pm

this is local script inside textlebel

greyastros · March 2, 2024, 7:28pm

You need to use a constant if statement (in a seperate thread) using a while loop:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Prices = Player:WaitForChild("Prices")
local Upgrades = Player:WaitForChild("Upgrades")
local WalkSpeedUpgradePrice = Prices.WalkSpeedUpgradePrice
local WalkSpeedUpgrade = Upgrades.WalkSpeedUpgrade

local Abbreviations = {"", "K", "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi",}

local function Format(value, decimals)
	local ex = math.floor(math.log(math.max(1, math.abs(value)), 1000))
	local abbrevs = Abbreviations [1 + ex] or ("e+"..ex)
	local normal = math.floor(value * ((10 ^ decimals) / (1000 ^ ex))) / (10 ^ decimals)

	return ("%."..decimals.."f%s"):format(normal, abbrevs)
end

local function UpdateText(newValue, max)
    if newValue == nil and max then
        script.Parent.Text = max
        return
    else          
	    local FormattedText = Format(newValue, 2)
	    script.Parent.Text = FormattedText
    end
end

spawn(function()
    while true do
        if WalkSpeedUpgrade.Value == 5 then
            UpdateText(WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Value, nil)
        else
            UpdateText(nil, "MAX")
    end
    wait(.05)
end)

WalkSpeedUpgradePrice.Changed:Connect(UpdateText)
