Min/Max Values Module

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Morning, I’m just messing around with a leaderstats script, and I was wondering how I could link the min/max values to an “IntValue” I have created the values property changer and placed it in replicated storage.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

local player = game:GetService("Players")

function spawnedplayer(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	--Currency System
	local Min = 0 -- Changable values
	local Max = 5000 -- Changabele values
	
	local Currency = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Currency.Name = "Coins"
	Currency.Value = Min
	Currency.Parent = leaderstats
	
	Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
		if Currency.Value <= Min then
			Currency.Value = Min
		elseif Currency.Value >= Max then
			Currency.Value = Max
	
		end
	end)
end

player.PlayerAdded:Connect(spawnedplayer)

STEP 1
Go to CurrencyModifier in ReplicatedStorage

STEP 2
Create two new Attributes

STEP 3

Go to your script and paste this

local player = game:GetService("Players")

function spawnedplayer(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	--Currency System
	local Min = game.ReplicatedStorage..CurrencyModifier.MinValue -- Changable values
	local Max = game.ReplicatedStorage..CurrencyModifier.MaxValue -- Changabele values

	local Currency = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Currency.Name = "Coins"
	Currency.Value = Min
	Currency.Parent = leaderstats

	Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
		if Currency.Value <= Min then
			Currency.Value = Min
		elseif Currency.Value >= Max then
			Currency.Value = Max

		end
	end)
end

player.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	spawnedplayer(Player)
end)

math.clamp exists

Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
	Currency.Value = math.clamp(Currency.Value, Min, Max)
end)
#4

Do you wanna link the values from the IntValue or to the IntValue from the script?

#5

In case i misread your post. This part

When you create the Currency Intvalue, call :SetAttribute(“Min”, 0) and :SetAttribute(“Max”, 5000) on it and use that to clamp it’s values

Yeah, I also misread twice, so I think you’re right.

#7

I basically want to limit a currency

#8

If I’m correct in understanding, this wouldn’t be needed if I use IntValue?

	Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
		if Currency.Value <= Min then
			Currency.Value = Min
		elseif Currency.Value >= Max then
			Currency.Value = Max
#9

Do I leave the value blank here…

Yeah, you do leave it blank there

Let me know if the method I did show you did work! :smiley:

Getting a good fair few issues going on here.

EDITED:

I’d like to thank @LightingLion58 for helping me with the solution, using math.clamp as the right and additional method.

local player = game:GetService("Players")

local MinV = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrencyModifier:GetAttribute("MinValue")
local MaxV = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrencyModifier:GetAttribute("MaxValue")

function spawnedplayer(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	--Currency System
	local Min = MinV -- Changable values
	local Max = MaxV -- Changabele values

	local Currency = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Currency.Name = "Coins"
	Currency.Value = Min
	Currency.Parent = leaderstats
	
	Currency.Value = math.clamp(Currency.Value, Min, Max)
	
	Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
		Currency.Value = math.clamp(Currency.Value, Min, Max)
	end)
end

player.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	spawnedplayer(Player)
end)

There you can see that it should be working right now, try pasting the newer script.

#15

Do I need the if statement with this method?

#16

Yeah, keep that else it won’t work

#17

Thank you. Still learning scripting, My only question now is, why bother doing that if my if statement is enough?

#18

I found an issue tho where it changes to the max thing, give me a few minutes to fix it.

#19 
local player = game:GetService("Players")

local MinV = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrencyModifier:GetAttribute("MinValue")
local MaxV = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrencyModifier:GetAttribute("MaxValue")

function spawnedplayer(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	--Currency System
	local Min = MinV -- Changable values
	local Max = MaxV -- Changabele values

	local Currency = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Currency.Name = "Coins"
	Currency.Value = Min
	Currency.Parent = leaderstats
	
	if Currency.Value <= Min then
		Currency.Value = Min
	end

	if Currency.Value >= Max then
		Currency.Value = Max
	end
	
	Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
		if Currency.Value <= Min then
			Currency.Value = Min
		end
		
		if Currency.Value >= Max then
			Currency.Value = Max
		end
	end)
end

player.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	spawnedplayer(Player)
end)

This will check if the player is over the max limit when joining the game also

#20

Can also be written as:

Currency.Changed:Connect(function()
	Currency.Value = math.clamp(Currency.Value, Min, Max)
end)

math.clamp returns value if it is between min and max. If bigger, returns max, else returns min.

Use @DevCafe_Protector 's solution as it is best.

But as a fun fact, I’d also like to mention that there used to be a class called IntConstrainedValue
It is now deprecated in favor of math.clamp and shouldn’t be used, but it does exactly this (clamps an IntValuebetween MinValue and MaxValue).
