If statement not working

I’m was trying to use an if statement to check for a value but on the first elseif it does not call that I checked and my value was equal to 1 can anyone help.

Thanks!

if Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value == 0 then
	Status.Text = "Buy"
	Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			TrailBought:FireServer()
			PlusOne:FireServer()
			wait(0.1)
			debounce = false
		end
	end)
elseif Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value == 1 then
	Status.Text = "Equip"
	Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
		local char = player.Character

		local attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
		attachment0.Name = "TrailAttachment0"
		attachment0.Parent = char.Head

		local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
		attachment1.Name = "TrailAttachment1"
		attachment1.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart

		Trail.Attachment0 = attachment0
		Trail.Attachment1 = attachment1
		Trail.Parent = char.Head
	end)
else
	Status.Text = "Equipped"
end

What is this Value Property? its a property of what instance?

3

IntValue

Dont mind this over here.

4

Player.Trails I cant wrap my head around what your doing with that? ( Its just strange )

5

It is a folder inside the player.

I will just post the variables here

local Button = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Trail = ReplicatedStorage.Trails.Gray:Clone()
local LPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Price = Button.Price
local Status = Button.Status
local Player = Button.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local TrailBought = ReplicatedStorage.BuysTrail
local debounce = false
local PlusOne = ReplicatedStorage.PlusOneGray

I mean your placing Trails within the Player Instance which is weird was it just to hold intvalues.

Lets get back to your if statements what isnt working?

8

Yes it was to just hold intvalues.
Dont mind the messiness. :sweat_smile:

It’s fine its not messy at all. I’m about to go could you tell which if statement isn’t working

Could it be this

if Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value == 0 then

Do you receive any errors?

First i recommend placing some prints if you don’t have any errors. To debug

10

Would you mind showing the full script/code? I think there might be something wrong with the codes layout.

There are no errors but it does not do what it is supposed to do when the value = 1

I did send the full thing it is just.

local Button = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Trail = ReplicatedStorage.Trails.Gray:Clone()
local LPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Price = Button.Price
local Status = Button.Status
local Player = Button.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local TrailBought = ReplicatedStorage.BuysTrail
local debounce = false
local PlusOne = ReplicatedStorage.PlusOneGray

if Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value == 0 then
	Status.Text = "Buy"
	Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			TrailBought:FireServer()
			PlusOne:FireServer()
			wait(0.1)
			debounce = false
		end
	end)
elseif Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value == 1 then
	Status.Text = "Equip"
	Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
		local char = player.Character

		local attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
		attachment0.Name = "TrailAttachment0"
		attachment0.Parent = char.Head

		local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
		attachment1.Name = "TrailAttachment1"
		attachment1.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart

		Trail.Attachment0 = attachment0
		Trail.Attachment1 = attachment1
		Trail.Parent = char.Head
	end)
else
	Status.Text = "Equipped"
end

Outside the ifstatements i would add a print like so

print(Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value)

then below

elseif Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value == 1 then

I would add

warn("Value = 1") or print ("Value = 1")
14

Oh this code isn’t within any functions or events :eyes: is that intentional?

(It will only run once)

Is this a local script?

15

Yes it is a local script and I want it to only run once.

16

Try and check for spelling errors within the Player.Trails.GrayTrail.Value? It might be because you accidentally might’ve made a spelling error. This error is confusing towards me.

a.k.a GrayTrail.Name = "Gray Trail" which in this case would be Gray_Trail

17

No errors I did that more than 20 times.

18

You should try what I recommended and add prints so you can understand what’s happening more thoroughly.

19

It prints the value = 0 but it says 1 in the explorer.

Okay, This error seems confusing, hopefully someone else might try and resolve the error.
