Currency count on join

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi I want to make a currency count in join.
Just like this:


I have done a lot of research I couldn’t find anything on this subject. I did find and studied a comma gui currency script. Only I still need this above. I would appreciate it if I got help.

What do you mean by this? Could you provide an example of a use case that would use what you’re trying to explain

Edit: Do you mean just playing that sound when a player joins? If so, just put it as a Sound instance where a localscript can reach it and run some code in a localscript that waits for the player, and if you want, character to be loaded in the server and play the sound to them

I assume you mean you’d like to play a sound effect when they join? Could you please elaborate on your script and help needs more?

I see what you’re talking about. I think how you’d want to do this is you make a PlayerAdded: function and then you make a for loop or a tween that counts all the way to the player’s current data. What you need to acomblish this is DataStores and (I could be wrong) Tweening

No that effect when you enter the game and it counts from 0 to your current currency super fast.

Then what you do is, I’m guessing you have a Datastore set up, load the value of the Currency for the player in a value and use a for loop to go up by one till it reaches the data that the player has, playing the coin sound each time

local Players = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local numbermine = Players.leaderstats.Energy

local Text = script.Parent.Parent.Amount.Text

local Start = 0

function addComma(number)

local left, num, right = string.match(number, '^([^%d]*%d)(%d*)(.-)$')

return left..(num:reverse():gsub('(%d%d%d)','%1,'):reverse())..right

end

local numbermineComma = addComma(tostring(numbermine.Value))

for Text = Start, numbermineComma do

print("working")

end
```

I tried this, but it doesn't work. I also got the error: Players.OfficialAjoeb.PlayerGui.MainGui.StatsFrame.Energy.Amount.LocalScript:10: invalid 'for' limit (number expected, got string)

I think what you can do is to have a tick system in a loop that changes a wait( ) method to become shorter and shorter synchronizing it with your sound effect.

The money can depend on the Local Player’s balance which would require the usage of a data storage.

and this whole function can be added to a PlayerAdded( )

Hope this helps =)

A script that counts from 0 to the current currency leaderstats of player in a textlabel with commas after every 3 letters, so for example 1000 becomes 1,000.

#11

Shouldn’t it be

for num = Start, numbermine.Value do

Firstly you’re overwriting your Text variable, and also numberminecomma is a string, not a number

Edit: That’s not really how you’d do that, maybe try

for num = Start, numbermine.Value do
    Text.Text = addComma(tostring(num))
end

Changing the text variable to

local Text = script.Parent.Parent.Amount

I tried that. It doesn’t count from 0 to the current leaderstats currency. It only shows the amount you have with that comma.

#13

Wait what do you mean by that?

For example, you have 1250 energy. When you enter the game it shows 1,250. It does not count 0 to 1,250 it shows directly the amount 1,250.

Then there needs to be a wait in the code to delay it by a bit, in your code near the variables, add this

local run = game:GetService("RunService")

Then i nthe loop

for num = Start, numbermine.Value do
    Text.Text = addComma(tostring(num))
    run.Heartbeat:Wait()
end

I am unsure if the new APIs are enabled so you have to use the deprecated Heartbeat event to wait a frame

Thank you so much! It’s working. How do I want it to count faster? And if the energy value has changed, the text will not change. Can I make that so it will change?

If you want it to count faster, since Heartbeat is the fastest way to do that, so just do

for num = Start, numbermine.Value, 2 do

This way it will count up by 2 instead of 1.

And for changing the text when energy changes, just add this code before the loop

numbermine.Changed:Connect(function(val)
    Text.Text = addComma(tostring(val))
end)

I puted this before the loop and now counting no longer works.

This worked

If it didn’t work before the loop, then I think you can try putting it after it does the counting

local Players = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local numbermine = Players.leaderstats.Energy

local Text = script.Parent.Parent.Amount

local Start = 0

local run = game:GetService("RunService")

function addComma(number)

local left, num, right = string.match(number, '^([^%d]*%d)(%d*)(.-)$')

return left..(num:reverse():gsub('(%d%d%d)','%1,'):reverse())..right

end

local division = numbermine.Value / 10

for num = Start, numbermine.Value, division do

Text.Text = addComma(tostring(num))

run.Heartbeat:Wait()

end

numbermine.Changed:Connect(function(val)

Text.Text = addComma(tostring(val))

end)

Thank you so much! It worked. I have one last question. How can I change the count up to the players currency divided by 10. For example, someone with 1000 energy goes the count up always 1000/10 = 100. I’ve already tried something in the script above, but then the counting doesn’t work anymore. I hope you can help me.
