How do I make a script not run once a leaderstat is higher than a specific value

I want to remove a script once a leaderstat is higher than 1, but it doesn’t work.

if money.Value > 1 then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGUI.PlayScreen.Screen.Play.Cut1:Destroy()
end

You forgot to define money if that is the whole script and you didn’t add a changed function.

So for instance:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local money = game.ReplicatedStorage.Money:WaitForChild(plr.Name)

money.Value.Changed:Connect(function()
if money.Value > 1 then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PlayScreen.Screen.Play.Cut1:Destroy()
end
end)

Try “PlayerGui” instead of “PlayerGUI”

Which script is it? If it’s a local script, you’ll need to do a remote event to destroy itself or a bindable event if it’s a normal script.

#5

While wait() do
if money.Value > 1 then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PlayScreen.Screen.Play.Cut1:Destroy()
end
end

#6 
money.Changed:Connect(function()
if money.Value > 1 then
-- stuff here
end
end)

Why are you using a while wait() loop?, don’t ever use while wait() do. Just use money.Changed.

#8

Yes Maybe it will be better with :GetPropertyChangedSignal

You don’t need to use :GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value") for ValueBase objects as they have a modified .Changed event that only fires when Value property changes.

So Sometimes i used .Changed and got many problems thatswhy i am not trying to use it

#11

I’ve never had a problem with .Changed

#13

a possible reason why sometimes it doesnt work why your using .Changed; maybe because you are trying to detect a change by doing NameOfInstance.Value.Changed , instead of doing NameOfInstance.Changed??

#14

You have to do that from the client, create a LocalScript:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats") -- you need to wait until money is added
local money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")

local PlayerGui = player.PlayerGui
local playScreen = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayScreen")

money.Changed:Connect(function()
   if money.Value > 1 then
      playScreen.Screen.Play.Cut1:Destroy()
   end
end)

Where do I put this localscript?

#17

Where you normally put a localscript, in the StarterGui, StarterPack, StarterPlayerScripts or StarterCharacterScripts. You should use StarterGui.

#18

This works, but only when it changes, I want it to do it as soon as the player enters the game.

#19

Okay, then do this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats") -- you need to wait until money is added
local money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")

local PlayerGui = player.PlayerGui
local playScreen = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayScreen")

money.Changed:Connect(function()
   if money.Value > 1 then
      playScreen.Screen.Play.Cut1:Destroy()
   end
end)

if money.Value > 1 then
   playScreen.Screen.Play.Cut1:Destroy()
end
