How to change the value through a script

simply_kiel · November 3, 2021, 8:04am

Hi, I have a local script in my game in which I would like to a part to increase/decrease a player’s value also the value is located in StarterPlayer>StarterPlayerScripts and I’m trying to make a GUI that increases/decrease after pressing the button, the value inside the StarterPlayerScripts.

Provide the script you have so we can assist you.

I just hope you at least tried to do it before posting this. Anyways here’s the basic template:

--The local script should be under the GUI button for the code below to work
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local scripts = player:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   scripts.EValue.Value += 0 --Change EValue to the name of the value and 0 to the increment to increase
end)

If you want it to decrease value you just change += to -=

And if you want it to either increase or decrease you could do this:

--The local script should be under the GUI button for the code below to work
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local scripts = player:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   local randomNo = math.random(1, 2)
   if randomNo == 1 then
      scripts.EValue.Value += 0 --Change EValue to the name of the value and 0 to the increment to increase
   else
      scripts.EValue.Value -= 0 --As I said earlier, change 0 to the value you want to decrease by
   end
end)

There.
