I’m trying to make a cola game, but when you buy a lot of stuff, it gives you negative cash, but players can still buy stuff, but they will go in debt even more, I want to add it where, if you dont have enough money, it wont let you buy it.

this is the leaderboard script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
local stats = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
stats.Name = “leaderstats”
stats.Parent = p

local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = "Cash" 
money.Value = 50
money.Parent = stats
end)

and this is the spend money script:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
if player:FindFirstChild(“leaderstats”) then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 50 – price of the item
game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)

Try checking if the player has the amount of money required to buy the item.

how do I do that, I’m not that good at scripting…
I can’t hire anyone because, I dont have money.

#4

I cant really help because I don’t know how you setup your leaderboard.
Hopefully somthing like this should work

if yourLeaderboard.Value < 30 then
-- The player has more then 30 dollars.
-- Your code here
end

well this is the script I used for my leaderboard:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
local stats = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
stats.Name = “leaderstats”
stats.Parent = p

local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = "Cash" 
money.Value = 50
money.Parent = stats
end)

That’s fine! But what is the script that removes the money? This script only gives the player 50 cash upon execution.

#7

this is the script:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
if player:FindFirstChild(“leaderstats”) then
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 50 – price of the item
game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)

This should work, sorry im on mobile and I cannot test this in studio /:

local itemCost = 50 --This is how much the item costs
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
if player:FindFirstChild(“leaderstats”) then

if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= itemCost then


player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - itemCost 
game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end)

Edit: I made a mistake and did player.leaderstats.Value instead of player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
This is fixed now

I tested it, and it didn’t work.

#10

What didn’t work, was there an error? Or did it just do nothing?

#12

did nothing… I look in breakpoints, for any errors and saw nothing

#13

There are videos on YouTube about money for leader stats and how to lose money when you buy stuff.

#14

Nope, it sadly doesn’t work…

#15

Was there any errors in the output?

#16

What? Mine is working its just that when I buy stuff thats over the money limit, it gives me negative.

#17 
local itemCost = 50 --This is how much the item costs
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
	if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
		if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value > itemCost or player.leaderstats.Cash.Value == itemCost then
			player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - itemCost 
			game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
			game.Lighting.Cheeto:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
		end
	end
end)

this should work @1_kly

the script works, but can you program where it doesn’t give you copies of the items.
