Update: Cost was fixed but actual upgrade button doesnt work

This is the upgrade button script; it only takes away one upgrade worth and only adds one upgrade value

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local debounce = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text) ~= nil then
    if player.Stats.Cash.Value >= player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value * 30 * (tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)) and debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        player.Stats.Cash.Value = player.Stats.Cash.Value - player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value * 30 * (tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text))
        player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value = player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value + tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)
        wait(0.1) 
        debounce = false
        end
    end
end)

This is the cost script;

local Short = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Short)
while wait() do
  if tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text) ~= nil then
    script.Parent.Text = "Cost: " .. Short.en(player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value * 30 * (tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)))
  end
end

Can’t you just do price = price + 30? Are you wanting to charge more based on how much they want to upgrade? If not then just adding 30 would suffice.

3

You mean like adding a ‘-30’ and ‘+30’ button to increase the amount by 30?

4

For example they wanted to go from level 1 to level 5

H To here
30,60,90,120,150

It would be 30+60+90+120+150 or something similar to that,
but i cant put this into lua

5

Okay I see, so 30 per level. Then can’t you do price = 30*level?

6

But i want the input to be taken into consideration so they can upgrade … amount at a time

7

*I think i may have it, i X the number they entered onto that it seems to be working

8

Something like this?

local n = 0

for i = 1, 5 do
	n = n + 30
end

print(n) -- 150

Not sure what you are trying to say with

That was just for the cost to show properly but the actual upgrade button is broke

This is the upgrade button script; it only takes away one upgrade worth and only adds one upgrade value

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local debounce = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text) ~= nil then
    if player.Stats.Cash.Value >= player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value * 30 * (tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)) and debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        player.Stats.Cash.Value = player.Stats.Cash.Value - player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value * 30 * (tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text))
        player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value = player.Stats["Robux Upgrade"].Value + tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)
        wait(0.1) 
        debounce = false
        end
    end
end)

  end
