How can I check a BoolValue in a player from a normal script in serverscriptservice

#1

Hello! I am working on a system that will give extra money if the player has a BoolValue that is true. I’m having an issue with consistently checking the Player to see if it is true, yet I’m getting errors. How can I be able to check the local player if their value is true or not?
Code is below
This is from a script in ServerScriptService

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue",plr)
	bool.Name = "King"
	bool.Value = false
end)

local MoneyBonus = 0

while wait(1) do
	if Player.King.Value == true then
		MoneyBonus = 0.5
	else
		MoneyBonus = 0
	end
end

local bonus = MoneyBonus * Income

Any help on figuring this out is greatly appreciated!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local MoneyBonus = 0
	local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue",plr)
	bool.Name = "King"
	bool.Value = false
    bool:GetPropertyChangedSingal("Value"):Connect(function()
       if bool.Value == true then
          MoneyBonus = 0.5
       else
          MoneyBonus = 0
       end
    end)
end)

Better! The income still isn’t changing though. Im getting the same amount

Have you tried to insert a numberValue into the player and update it instead of the variable?

What errors are you getting ?

#5

No and I’m not getting any errors. Strange.

#6

Are you modifing the value from the server? or from the client?

if modified from the client

bool:GetPropertyChangedSingal("Value"):Connect(function()
       if bool.Value == true then
          MoneyBonus = 0.5
       else
          MoneyBonus = 0
       end
    end)

This would not run.

Its all from the server so no client

#8

Then If the bool value default is false, can i ask you where you put that value to true?

Im working on a King of The Hill System that will make the value true when they become king. Ill be talking about that after I can figure this out

#10

So, Are you sure that when they become the king of the hill the script will change that value? Can you test this?

#11

Yeah the system is able to change the value. I was having issues with making the value false if the king leaves or dies and that only one person can have the value be set to true.

#12

Oh, the code that sent Valk was wrong,
Here’s the fix:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local MoneyBonus = 0
	local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue",plr)
	bool.Name = "King"
	bool.Value = false
	repeat task.wait() until bool.Parent
	bool:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
		if bool.Value == true then
			MoneyBonus = 0.5
		else
			MoneyBonus = 0
		end
	end)
end)

Simple he was Putting a function before the bool Value is present

And how can I take that and add it to a new function so it gets included in the income? When I put in MoneyBonus in the income I get this error. “ServerScriptService.Main:404: attempt to perform arithmetic (mul) on nil and number”

Nevermind, fixed the issue. Thanks a lot! Hopefully you can help me on my next problem
