I am trying to make a GUI that shows how much money you collected/lost when it happens (example below) but I am having trouble trying to figure out how I am going to grab that value.
If you could provide an example of how I could do this that would be appreciated.
example:
Use
Value.Changed
In Code:
Value.Changed:Connect(function(changed)
script.Parent.Text = "$+"..str(changed)
end)
Hope it helped
local lastValue = money.Value
money.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
print("Changed by", newValue - lastValue)
lastValue = newValue
end)
You’d need to store the previous value before it was changed as the example above demonstrated, to log all changes you could do the following.
local value = workspace.Value --Example value instance.
local oldValues = {}
value.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
print("Value changed from "..oldValues[#oldValues].." to "..newValue.."!")
table.insert(oldValues, newValue)
end)
local value = workspace.Value
local last_value = value.Value
value:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
local difference = value.Value - last_value
local prefix = value.Value < last_value and "-" or "+"
local text = prefix..difference
print(text) -- if the value was subtracted by 5 it should print "-5"
last_value = value.Value
end)
