How can I make this proximity prompt give a random amount of money?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I tried doing math.random, but couldn’t seem to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m trying to make it so you either get a big amount or a small amount.

local Prompt = script.Parent
Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
	local Money = Player.leaderstats.Money
	Money.Value += 7
end)

I’d recommend reading this for help

But I always disliked people who just pasted the link and never actually helped

First of all, is it in a localscript? Because if so, you can modify the player’s leaderstats, however they will appear exclusively for the player and get overwritten when the server changes a value.

And second, to add a random value of money, you could do Money.Value += math.Random(1,[Whatever you want the highest amount of money possible to get]).

Try this:

local Prompt = script.Parent
Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
    local cash=math.random(100,1000)
    if Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
	   local Money = Player.leaderstats.Money
	   Money.Value += cash
    end
end)

I’d suggest reading this also,

You could just take his script but I’d recommend getting a good understanding of it also.

As @DyzuOfficial mentioned its better off if you get a gist of basic luau as knowing the basics will give you a broader depth of knowledge on how to implement them in a practical example when utilizing objects such as the proximity prompt to perform a special effect or grant rewards,etcc.

If you’re looking for a 50/50 chance for a bigger or smaller amount, you can do as following:

local Prompt = script.Parent

local function onTriggered(Player)
	local money = 3
	if Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
		local StatValue = Player.leaderstats.Money
		if math.round(math.random(0,1)) == 1 then -- Will either equate to 0, or 1
			money = 7
		end
		StatValue.Value += money
	end
end

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(onTriggered)

You could also replace

if math.round(math.random(0,1)) == 1 then
	  money = 7
end
-- with
math.round(math.random(3,7)) * 100 -- 300 to 700, customise to your hearts content!

Thank you so much, I definitely will take a deeper dive. I have been trying my best to learn and understand more coding. I just seem to always have the trouble of grasping of where to put the lines and stuff, but thank you again,
