local players = game:GetService("Players")

local textLabel = script.Parent

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Coins = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Coins")

while task.wait() do
	textLabel.Text = Coins.Value

sorry, I’m not english. I meant the total amount they collected while playing the game. Not the amount they have. I plan on adding a reset button, but I want the coins to remain the same.

The amount they have collected is the same as the amount they have, no?

I mean, I might be adding rebirths to my game and I want the textlabel to show the total amount which stays the same even if they rebirth.

And if they collect 1 coin after rebirthing it will add + 1 coin to the amount they had before

It updates constantly, so whatever the coins value is, will show in the label.

7

Thats not what I meant. I mean the total amount they collected in the time they played the game not the amount right now

8

Still not sure what you mean? Are you trying to make it so that coins save when a user leaves and rejoins?

No. I don’t know how to expain this.

For example someone collects 2 coins, it will show 2 coins.

Then they reset their coins or something and they colect 1 more coin

Then I want the textlabel to show 3 coins instead of 1

Oh, I see well you’ll just need a second stat for that, like this:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer or players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local textLabel = script.Parent

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Coins = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Coins")
local TotalCoins = leaderstats:WaitForChild("TotalCoins")

while task.wait() do
	textLabel.Text = TotalCoins.Value
end

So just add to “TotalCoins” the same way you do for “Coins” but when the user resets only reset the “Coins” stat not “TotalCoins”.
