I have been coding a leaderstats system for the past hour or so and have encountered a problem. I chose to use emojis in the leaderboard as shown below:
The only problem is, when I want to interact and change the values of the intvalues, I can’t do it because of the emoji.
Does anyone know any fix to this like another way to declare my local variable while avoiding the emoji?
Name them “Fossils” and “Coins”, and index them like that in the script, then rename them in the script to include the emoji.
Edit: Nevermind, just use @acreol solution below (not sure why I felt the need to come up with an overcomplicated solution)
instead of using . to index you can use brackets [] to index with expressions instead of with just identifiers
since strings are expressions you can have the following:
local fossils=game.player.leaderstats['💀Fossils'].value
Yeah, just like this.
Since you’re probably going to be changing these every now and then i’d store each one in a variable.
FossilString = '💀Fossils'
local Fossils = game.Player.leaderstats[FossilString].value
I’d also wait for it instead of assuming it’s there, but that’s just me.
