Need help with leaderstats

I am having problems with leaderstats. I made a button that gives you 1 level for 100 coins, and everytime you buy a level it becomes 25 coins more expensive.

This is my script:

local Price = 200


script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr.leaderstats.Coin < Price then return end
	plr.leaderstats.Level = plr.leaderstats.Level + 1
	plr.leaderstats.Coins = plr.leaderstats.Coin - Price
	Price = Price + 25
end)

It does nothing.

You’ll need a RemoteEvent otherwise the stats will just be changed client-side and won’t reflect to the server.

#3

I don’t know how to use those.

#4

And the stats saving to the server isn’t the biggest problem right now.

#5 
local Price = 200

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coin").Value < Price then
		return
	end
	plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level").Value += 1
	plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coins").Value -= Price
	Price += 25
end)
#6

It still doesn’t do anything. :frowning:

#7

Then you probably have some stuff setup incorrectly. Make sure the script is a local script & place it inside the button which is being clicked.

#8

I don’t have a RemoteFunction as you mentioned in one of your comments.

And yes, it is a localscript

#9

As said before In this case I would suggest for you to use a RemoteEvent because you are probably firing this through a localscript and it will change only on the client that means only one player will see what changed, the rest won’t.

If this is not really a problem for you, then here is the code.

local Price = 200
local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(Player)
    if Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins.Value < Price then
       return nil
  else
       Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Level.Value += 1
       Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins.Value -= Price
       Price += 25
    end
end)

Check the edit, it may work now.

#11

Nope, it still doesn’t work sadly.

#12

You’ve likely got something setup wrong then (this is working my end), can you share the leaderstats script & a screenshot of how the ScreenGui is organised?

#13 
if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coin") < Price then
		return

looks like if player have less coins then the price he will level up coin < price

#14

how Coins - price if player have less coins then price ? the coins will be under 0

#15

I’ve made another edit, try again please. That edit will work if you want to keep everything local. I accidentally forgot to fetch the value in the conditional statement. I’m going to provide a server-wide solution in my next reply too.

#16

The following will be if you want the leaderstats to be reflected to the entire server:

– SERVER SCRIPT –

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local replStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local levelEvent = replStorage:WaitForChild("LevelEvent")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	local levelStat = Instance.new("IntValue")
	levelStat.Parent = leaderstats
	levelStat.Parent = 0
	local coinsStat = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coinsStat.Parent = leaderstats
	coinsStat.Value = 0
end)

levelEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Price)
	player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level").Value += 1
	player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coins").Value -= Price
end)

The server script includes leaderstats itself.

– LOCAL SCRIPT –

local Price = 200
local replStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local levelEvent = replStorage:WaitForChild("LevelEvent")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level").Value >= Price then
		levelEvent:FireServer(Price)
		Price += 25
	end
end)

I’ll try this. Thank you for dedicating your time to helping me

#18

it will error if you change the value of leaderstats in local scripts.

#19

Alternatively, you can just use:

local Price = 200

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coin").Value < Price then
		return
	end
	plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level").Value += 1
	plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coins").Value -= Price
	Price += 25
end)

If everything being localised is fine.
