Shorting a function

Orbular3 · October 23, 2021, 11:57am

currencybefore.Value *= (1 + (rebirths * 0.2))

iFlameyz · October 23, 2021, 11:57am

He is talking about typing if rebirth == 1,2,3,4
100 times (i think)

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 12:02pm

Yeah, this one. So I would not put 100 if functions

iFlameyz · October 23, 2021, 12:03pm

Maybe

for i = 0, 100, 1 do -- Change 100 to the maxRebirth you want, the 1 is the increment increase
   local currencyIncrement = 1 + i * 0.2

   if rebirths == i then
      currencybefore.Value *= currencyIncrement
      currencycollect.Value += currencybefore.Value
      currencybefore.Value = 0
   end
end

I haven’t tested this out im not sure if it works

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 12:07pm

iFlameyz:

for i = 0, 100, 1 do -- Change 100 to the maxRebirth you want, the 1 is the increment increase
   local currencyIncrement = 1 + i * 0.2

   if rebirths == i then
      currencybefore.Value *= currencyIncrement
      currencycollect.Value += currencybefore.Value
      currencybefore.Value = 0
   end
end

Yup. This is it, it’s working. Thank you so much! <3

No problem i think its better if you add what i edited in the script

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 12:07pm

If you don’t mind? What it does? The function you added

iFlameyz · October 23, 2021, 12:09pm

my bad you dont need to use ill just edit back
But the function .Changed checks if the intValue changed, like if rebirths changed but i didnt see the script above it so no need to add it

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 12:12pm

Alright. Thank you again!

30 limittt

if currencybefore.Value ~= 0 then
	currencybefore.Value = currencybefore.Value*(1+rebirths*0.2)
	currencycollect.Value += currencybefore.Value
	currencybefore.Value = 0
end

This is even simpler, and achieves what you set out to achieve in the code you originally posted.

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 4:53pm

I’ll actually use this, it’s even easier. Thank you guys!

D0RYU · October 23, 2021, 5:23pm

I don’t get why you use += but you never use *=

if currencybefore.Value ~= 0 then
	currencybefore.Value *= (1 + rebirths * 0.2)
	currencycollect.Value += currencybefore.Value
	currencybefore.Value = 0
end

looks a bit better now imo

Limited_Unique · October 23, 2021, 5:27pm

I didn’t even realise “currencybefore.Value” was referenced twice in the same expression, I thought two different values were being fetched.

Limited_Unique · October 23, 2021, 5:32pm

If you wanted to go 1 step further you could do the following:

local Owner = script.Parent.Owner
local CurrentPlr = nil
local CurrentPlrId = 0
local TycoonTeamColor = script.Parent.TeamColor
local cooldown = 0.01

Owner.Changed:Connect(function()
	if Owner.Value ~= nil then
		repeat
			wait(cooldown)
			for i, v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
				if v.TeamColor == TycoonTeamColor.Value then
					local rebirths = v.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value
					local currencybefore = script.Parent.CurrencyBefore
					local currencycollect = script.Parent.CurrencyToCollect
					while task.wait() do
						currencybefore.Value *= (1 + rebirths * 0.2)
						currencycollect.Value += currencybefore.Value
						currencybefore.Value = 0
						end
					end
				end
			end
		until Owner.Value == nil
	end
end)

and get rid of any unnecessary conditional checks.

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 5:46pm

Also, I wanted to ask you guys, is there any way to do the same short cut for this too? So I could not add rebirths anymore, maybe the rebirth price will multiply by itself

for i=1, 31, 1 do
    ["unlockPurchases"][i] = {rebirthCount = i, unlock = "rebirth".. i}
end

Does the second part go up in a calculated amount, or just random?

zwave00 · October 23, 2021, 6:11pm

EDITED.

Oh wait sorry I tought it was for the money. I think that one is good for the first part

D0RYU · October 23, 2021, 6:13pm

PascalCase

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Parent = script.Parent
local TycoonTeamColor = Parent.TeamColor
local CurrencyBefore = Parent.CurrencyBefore
local CurrencyCollect = Parent.CurrencyToCollect

local CurrentPlayerId = 0
local CurrentPlayer = nil
local Cooldown = 0.01

Owner.Changed:Connect(function()
    if Owner.Value then
        repeat task.wait(Cooldown)
            for _, Player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
                if Player.TeamColor == TycoonTeamColor.Value then
                    local Rebirths = Player.leaderstats.Rebirths

                    CurrencyBefore.Value *= (1 + Rebirths.Value * 0.2)
                    CurrencyCollect.Value += CurrencyBefore.Value
                    CurrencyBefore.Value = 0
                end
            end
        until not Owner.Value
    end
end)

camelCase

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local parent = script.Parent
local tycoonTeamColor = parent.TeamColor
local currencyBefore = parent.CurrencyBefore
local currencyCollect = parent.CurrencyToCollect

local currentPlayerId = 0
local currentPlayer = nil
local cooldown = 0.01

owner.Changed:Connect(function()
    if owner.Value then
        repeat task.wait(cooldown)
            for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
                if player.TeamColor == tycoonTeamColor.Value then
                    local rebirths = player.leaderstats.Rebirths

                    currencyBefore.Value *= (1 + rebirths.Value * 0.2)
                    currencyCollect.Value += currencyBefore.Value
                    currencyBefore.Value = 0
                end
            end
        until not owner.Value
    end
end)

I made some changes to the code

use PascalCase or camelCase, pick one
use Players:GetPlayers() not Players:GetChildren()
use task.wait() not wait()
what was the point of that while loop, it would go on forever
I decided to remove it just incase
you should define CurrencyBefore and CurrencyToCollect outside the loop
instead of i, v what about using _, Player
easier to read now

sorry if it feels like I’m nitpicking now, but I wanted to show this

Limited_Unique · October 23, 2021, 6:16pm

I believe you should’ve replied to the original poster (or sent him a message), the code outside of the while loop I left untouched.

D0RYU · October 23, 2021, 6:17pm

honestly I didn’t read this whole post yet, so yea I should’ve showed the op first

my bad
