Rather than endlessly updating it, you can either use .Changed or :GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"). You would use either of those to recognize a change in its value, and it will only update the text when the cash’s value changes.
Well, if you change the player’s cash value from that server script, the local script will automatically recognize the change from the :GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value")
If you want me to type something out for you, then you need to show me the script. Other than that, simply update the player’s cash value from the server script and that’s all you have to do.
Well in an Tycoon Kit i used there is a script the (LinkedLeaderboard)
local Settings = require(script.Parent.Settings)
script.Parent = game.ServerScriptService
stands = {}
CTF_mode = false
function onHumanoidDied(humanoid, player)
local stats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if stats ~= nil then
local deaths = stats:findFirstChild(Settings.LeaderboardSettings.DeathsName)
if deaths then
deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
end
-- do short dance to try and find the killer
if Settings.LeaderboardSettings.KOs then
local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
end
end
end
function onPlayerRespawn(property, player)
-- need to connect to new humanoid
if property == "Character" and player.Character ~= nil then
local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
local p = player
local h = humanoid
if Settings.LeaderboardSettings.WOs then
humanoid.Died:connect(function() onHumanoidDied(h, p) end )
end
end
end
function getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
-- returns the player object that killed this humanoid
-- returns nil if the killer is no longer in the game
-- check for kill tag on humanoid - may be more than one - todo: deal with this
local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")
-- find player with name on tag
if tag ~= nil then
local killer = tag.Value
if killer.Parent ~= nil then -- killer still in game
return killer
end
end
return nil
end
function handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
if killer ~= nil then
local stats = killer:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if stats ~= nil then
local kills = stats:findFirstChild(Settings.LeaderboardSettings.KillsNames)
if kills then
if killer ~= player then
kills.Value = kills.Value + 1
else
kills.Value = kills.Value - 1

and i want the CashGui show the cash from the script.
Sorry im bad at scripting… im at the basics at the moment. (Thats also why i use kit)
There’s nothing you need to do in the script above. All premade server scripts will recognize a change in value, so you don’t need to do anything in it.
If you already know the basics of scripting, the only way you can get the cash value from server scripts to local scripts is by using remote functions. If you don’t know how to do this you should watch a couple tutorials on remote functions it’s not too complicated.
It’s not the only way. Using a simple .Changed and :GetPropertyChanged signal works just as well, and does change the text (I’ve used this in many games)
