I need help, heres my script.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.leaderstats.GoBux.Value >= 100 then
local clone = game.ServerStorage.Card2:Clone()
clone.Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end)

I’m trying to give a player a tool when they have a specific amount of Cash.

You are only checking when the player joins and not throughout their gameplay.

Oh, thanks for pointing out the problem. How do I check the gameplay?

#5

Oh sorry, this is my first ever post on the Devfourm.

RunService provides two loops that create barely any memory and performance leaks.

  1. the player might not have a leaderstats folder because they just joined
  2. if the player did have a leaderstats folder, the gobux variable would have a value of 0 by default. you need to load the value first, and then check if they have a certain amount of cash.

How do I load the value and check their cash?

#9

You would use WaitForChild, so the values can load in.

if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("GoBux").Value ~= nil then 
      if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("GoBux").Value >= 100 then 
       --- Do other stuff

:confused:

#12

You put WaitForChild to “Replicated Storage” that’s why it infinite yield.

#13

I didn’t even put anything in Replicated Storage.

#14

You did WaitForChild to “Replicated Storage” not to “leaderstats”.

Note: Sorry I confuse you a little bit before my english is not that good.

#15

How am I doing WaitForChild to ReplicatedStorage and not to leaderstats?

#16

Nvm I found out the problem already.

#17

You wrote game.ReplicatedStorage right?

#18

Use DataStoreService! There are a bunch of tutorials on how to use it.
