I have a system of luck boost and inventory and if the player has more than the player can store in his inventory that do nothing, but idk how can I update the value

The value read in the script is the value when I loggin into the game and not the value when Im playing and when it is beeing changed

task.wait(4)

local LPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CollF = workspace.Collectibles
local BoostCount = LPlayer.BoostCount.Value

local PopUpFrame = LPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PopUpGUI"):WaitForChild("MainFrame")
local PopUpText = PopUpFrame:WaitForChild("MainLabel")

local function trigger(instance, spawnLocation)
	local main = instance.Parent
	instance.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
		local BoostF = plr.Boosts
		if BoostF then
			local potion = BoostF:FindFirstChild(main.Name)
			if potion then
				local luckboost = plr.LuckBoostTaken:FindFirstChild(spawnLocation)
				if luckboost then	
					if BoostCount <= 0 then
						RS.Remotes.BoostNotTaken:FireServer(potion, luckboost)
						RS.Remotes.StoreBoost:FireServer(potion.Name)
						main:Destroy()
						print(BoostCount)
					elseif BoostCount >= plr.MaxBoost.Value then
						PopUpText.Text = "You've reached the max amount of boost !"
						PopUpText:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0,0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 0.35, true)
						wait(1.55)
						PopUpText:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,1,0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 0.35, true)
						return
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

for _, part in pairs(CollF:GetChildren()) do
	local prompt = part:FindFirstChild("ProximityPrompt")
	if prompt then
		trigger(prompt, part.Spawnpoint.Value)
	end
end

if you guys can help me I’ll really appreciate it :slight_smile:

There’s easy way of fixing this. You have to not addres the value at beggining

local BoostCount = LPlayer.BoostCount.Value

this makes it So BoostCount is only number, like 0 when player joins, it’s not listening to changes. You just have to make it so

local BoostCount = LPlayer.BoostCount -- So it is looking at the variable and then check what's the value when needed

BoostCount.Value -- like this

What’s with the wait? You don’t need this.

#4

I think he’s making sure BoostCount has been added to player’s folder.

#5

Why not just use :WaitForChild()?

#6

idk, but you’re right WaitForChild() is probably more efficient

#7

I need it because the map is spawning like 3 second after and the script is working with the map
