yes tve tried it look like this

function comma_value(amount)
	local formatted = amount
	while true do  
		formatted, k = string.gsub(formatted, "^(-?%d+)(%d%d%d)", '%1,%2')
		if (k==0) then
			break
		end
	end
	return formatted
end

script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = script.Parent.Parent.Color.Value

script.Parent.Parent.Color:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = script.Parent.Parent.Color.Value
end)

still didnt work

You never actually use the function in this block of code, unless I’ve misunderstood

script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = script.Parent.Parent.Color.Value

script.Parent.Parent.Color:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = comma_value(script.Parent.Parent.Color.Value) -- call the function here
    -- (assuming script.Parent is the text label)
	script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = script.Parent.Parent.Color.Value
end)

theres smth wrong with the k, it has a red line underneath it

Just put local k = nil underneath local formatted = amount. The line is just a warning that k has a global variable declaration
