I want to make it so the player takes away cash when clicked because Im trying to make a shop gui.
When I click it I get no errors but no cash is taken away. Can someone point out any problems?

I tried searching for solutions I tried some other minor changes but nothing seems to work.

I just want to get code down that removes the cash before I work on giving the player the tool. I am very new so I make lots of mistakes.

You can´t update the currency from the client, you would need to fire a remote event to the server for that

If it’s in a local script, your entire cash system won’t work. You would need to somehow change the data on the server. You should probably use Bindable Events and Functions | Roblox Creator Documentation. They are there to help with client/server communication.

Or for more advanced ways

Using a framework can help, I prefer using Knit.

also you can just do

Currency -= 1250 or Curreny += -1250 and you’re only editing the currency variable not the coin instance. so you have to

local Coins = Player.Coins
Coins.Value -= 1250 or Coins.Value += -1250

basically by doing this you’re just getting the value of coins and not the instance itself

local Currency = Player.Coins.Value --- this will set the currency to lets say coins have 250 coins in it, then the variable 'currency' will be 250

Currency = 2500 -- this will only set the "Currency" Variable and not the object instance because you only retrieved the number(Value).

as u see

Use a remote event for it. Create a remote event in ReplicatedStorage named TakeCash

code on server script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.TakeCash.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 1250 then
        player.leaderstats.Cash.Value -= 1250
    end
end)

code in a local script:

local debounce = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        game.ReplicatedStorage.TakeCash:FireServer()
        wait(0.1)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

i think you could just do currency -= 1250

Thanks for making it easy to understand! Your code worked. I just learned alot. Thank you. I have one question though. What is debounce?

#9

Debounce is a simple way to prevent spam of different things, in this case, the spam of RemoteEvents, it’s like a cooldown until you be able to do the same action again.

You’re welcome. It will be helpful to others if you would set it as solution so it makes it convenient for others to find the solution.
