Troubles With Accessing Values In Script

[SmakToj]

Hello!
I’m attempting to make an upgrade system in a tower defense game where the gui will showcase what the next tower upgrade stats are. However I’m having trouble accessing the value and displaying it in the ui and I don’t know how to go about doing it.

This is the idea I have in mind

The upgraded stats are held in the upgraded towers model in a value which is inside a configuration.

Once Upgraded, the tower is replaced with the next level version according to the upgrade value. What I want to do is get the values of the upgraded towers values but I don’t know how to go about doing it.

Script That Changes UI

local function toggleTowerInfo()
	workspace.Camera:ClearAllChildren()
	gui.Towers.Title.Text = "Towers: " .. placedTowers .. "/" .. maxTowers
	
	if selectedTower then
		CreateRangeCircle(selectedTower)
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.Visible = true
		local config = selectedTower.Config
		
		selectedTower.PrimaryPart.CFrame, selectedTower)


		gui.DarkGrayInterior.CurrentStats.Stats.Damage.Value.Text = config.Damage.Value
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.CurrentStats.Stats.Range.Value.Text = config.Range.Value
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.CurrentStats.Stats.Cooldown.Value.Text = config.Cooldown.Value
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Title.TowerName.Text = selectedTower.Name
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Title.TowerImage.Image = config.Image.Texture
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Title.OwnerName.Text = config.Owner.Value .. "'s"
		
		
		local modes = {
			["First"] = "rgb(150, 150, 150)",
			["Last"] = "rgb(50, 50, 50)", 
			["Near"] = "rgb(50, 150, 0)", 
			["Strong"] = "rgb(200, 50, 50)", 
			["Weak"] = "rgb(50, 100, 200)"
		}
		local color = modes[config.TargetMode.Value]
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Action.Target.Title.Text = "Target: <font color=\"" .. color .. "\">" .. config.TargetMode.Value .. "</font>"
		
		if config.Owner.Value == Players.LocalPlayer.Name then
			gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Action.Visible = true
			
			local upgradeTower = config:FindFirstChild("Upgrade")
			if upgradeTower then 
				gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Outline.Upgrade.Visible = true
				gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.LightGrayOutline.Price.Text = "Upgrade (" .. upgradeTower.Value.Config.Price.Value .. ")"
			else
				gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Outline.Upgrade.Visible = false
			end
		else
			gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Action.Visible = false
		end
		
	else
		gui.DarkGrayInterior.Visible = false
	end
end

Script That Allows For Upgrades

gui.DarkGrayInterior.Selection.Outline.Upgrade.Activated:Connect(function()
	if selectedTower then
		local upgradeTower = selectedTower.Config.Upgrade.Value -- upgrade tower = level 2
		local upgradeSuccess = spawnTowerFunction:InvokeServer(upgradeTower.Name, selectedTower.PrimaryPart.CFrame, selectedTower)
		
		if upgradeSuccess then
			selectedTower = upgradeSuccess
			toggleTowerInfo()
		end
	end
end)

This is how the ui is organized

Any help is appreciated!

have you tried not using configurations and stating the number in the script itself

[SmakToj]

Wouldn’t I have to state every towers upgrade stats on every level? That would take way to long.

[umamidayo (dayo)]

you could use a module script to store and change the data on the client, which then you could use in your interface script. this would be a big change to your code, but it gives you the ability to scale your game to how you want it.

Yeah this works!

Thanks!
