Hellooooo I need help with this simple script that isn’t working and I can’t find out what the error is. Here is the script
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick.CashGiver:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerCash = player.leaderstats.Cash
PlayerCash.Value = PlayerCash.Cash + 1
end)
Alright, I think the issue is that you are stating PlayerCash.Cash instead do this:
PlayerCash.Value += 1
It didn’t work but I think you are right about PlayerCash.Value
PlayerCash.Cash, based on your definitions is player.leaderstats.Cash.Cash
That aside, I think the issue is whatever/wherever “CashGiver” is. I have doubts it is stored inside the event “MouseClick.” I’m guessing that is actually the parent?
I’d just drop “CashGiver” and see if that fixes it.
Try doing:
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick.CashGiver:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerCash = player.leaderstats.Cash
PlayerCash.Value = PlayerCash.Cash.Value + 1
end)
If it doesn’t work, then tell us the cash script. where the cash gets created.
It didn’t unfortunately 
but here is the cash script
local DataStorageService = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local myDataStore = DataStorageService:GetDataStore(“myDataStore”)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
Cash.Name = "Cash"
Cash.Parent = leaderstats
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
--Load Data
local data
local succes, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = myDataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId)
end)
if succes then
Cash.Value = data
--Setdata to the current cash
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local playerUserId = “Player_”…player.UserId
local data = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
myDataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, data)
end)
if success then
print("Data successfully saved!")
else
print("error im gonna cry")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
wait(5)
end)
I think the problem is you are putting .CashGiver instead of just .MouseClick and also the PlayerCash.Cash is PlayerCash.Value
The last line should be
PlayerCash.Value = PlayerCash.Value + 1
I agree with the sentiment we need to see what errors are showing up in output.
I’m sure this will work
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick.CashGiver:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerCash = player.leaderstats.Cash
PlayerCash.Value = PlayerCash.Value + 1
end)
That might kill the script before other errors.
Whatever this CashGiver is, I think this is wrong. You should remove that.
Define the click detector and use += for the addition, like this:
local clickDetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“ClickDetectorNameHere”)
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerCash = player.leaderstats.Cash
PlayerCash.Value += 1
end)
If you want to add a cooldown then add this
local clickDetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“ClickDetectorNameHere”)
local cooldownActive = false
local cooldownTime = 1
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
if cooldownActive == false then
cooldownActive = true
local PlayerCash = player.leaderstats.Cash
PlayerCash.Value += 1
wait(cooldownTime)
cooldownActive = false
end
end)
Thank you it worked!! I have one question though, why did you have an = after the plus?
I am a self taught scripter so I don’t really know why I just know how I can use it. My guess would be that = is the current value and when you add a plus it’s number plus the current value. Don’t quote me on it tho.
Can you check the post with the answer as the answer to this topic so anyone else who has the same problem can have a solution.
The += is shorthand for “increment” which then adds the other value to the current value. It was added as shorthand by programmers who got tired of typing the longer version.
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerCash = player.leaderstats.Cash
PlayerCash.Value += 1
end)
Also works with many other operators, the following operators are valid:
+=
-=
/=
*=
..=
%=
^=
