Money count only updating once

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!
I am working on a wallet tool. I have it pretty much done but i have one slight problem. It only updates the money count when i equip it. So when i earn money when I’m holding it it doesn’t update. How could i make it so it updates live?
This is my current code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local countgui = script.Parent.EarnedDC

local tool = script.Parent.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

countgui.TextLabel.Text = player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Value

end)

Thanks in advance.

Try adding this to your script:

player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Changed:Connect(function(value)
   player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Value = value
end

The whole script should look like this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local countgui = script.Parent.EarnedDC

local tool = script.Parent.Parent

player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Changed:Connect(function(value)
   countgui.TextLabel.Text = value
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

countgui.TextLabel.Text = player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Value

end)

I’m having the “ValueChanged is not a valid member of IntValue” error

My bad, just put “DogeCoins.Changed” not "DogeCoins.ValueChanged’

Oh wait I also wrote the script wrong. I edited the script I wrote before, you can try copying and pasting it again.

I changed it but now it does the same thing. It doesn’t update “live” for some reason

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local countgui = script.Parent.EarnedDC

local tool = script.Parent.Parent

player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Changed:Connect(function(value)
	countgui.TextLabel.Text = value
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

	countgui.TextLabel.Text = player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Value

end)

Try changing

countgui.TextLabel.Text = value

to

countgui.TextLabel.Text = player.leaderstats.DogeCoins.Value

Also, are there any errors in the output?

Hi! It’s me again I’m having another issue that the Amount of coins is only showing for the player that is holding the tool, how could i fix this?

Since this was last replied to six days ago, for the sake of trying to get you a reply as quick as possible I’ll chime in.

This is most likely due to the fact you’re doing this locally. You’re going to want to completley handle this with a server script. I think Forummers reply here is really good as it takes into account for the fact that you want this done on the server side. Try putting a ServerScript with Forummers reply inside the tool. I see no reason why it wouldn’t work.

Nevermind! I accidentally put the script in ServerScriptService, I’m sorry! xD
