Why wont my Money Gui work?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So… this is my leaderstats/datasave script… works 100%

local dss = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)

local DataStoreToKeep = dss:GetDataStore(“Chipotle”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local is = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
is.Name = “leaderstats”

local money = Instance.new(“IntValue”,is)
money.Name = “Money”
money.Value = 0

local cc = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
cc.Parent = player
cc.Name = “CashCollected”

local robbing = Instance.new(“BoolValue”,player)
robbing.Name = “Robbing”
robbing.Value = false

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
player.Robbing.Value = false
player.CashCollected.Value = 0
end)

local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = DataStoreToKeep:GetAsync(player.UserId… “-money”)
end)
if success then
money.Value = data
else
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
DataStoreToKeep:SetAsync(player.UserId…"-money",player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
end)
if success then
else
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
DataStoreToKeep:SetAsync(player.UserId…"~money", player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
end
end)

But I have a Gui

I want it to show the money… so I scripted this inside of the text label… its a local script

local text_label = script.Parent
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

plr:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”).Height.Changed:Connect(function(val)
text_label.Text = "Height: "…val
end)

text_label.Text = "Height: "…plr:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”).Height.Value

but when I test it doesnt work… Can someone tell me what I did wrong or rewrite the local script or me please…

In the script you provided, I don’t see an IntValue named Height in the player’s leaderstats.

I think you want to use the IntValue called Money.

#3

Any errors popped up in the output from your local script? Does the text not change at all?

Try using this code for your LocalScript:

local TextLabel = script.Parent
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local HeightValue = leaderstats.Height

TextLabel.Text = "Money: " ..HeightValue.Value

HeightValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
   TextLabel.Text = "Money: " ..HeightValue.Value
end)

Edit: found a small mistake, just fixed it

I dont see a problem at all. However, in your previous image, i see that all your UI is disabled. Is the specific UI enabled? And just to confirm, no errors were given in the output, correct?

#11

no

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local HeightValue = leaderstats.Height

TextLabel.Text = "Money: " ..HeightValue.Value

HeightValue.Changed:Connect(function(new_val)
   TextLabel.Text = "Money: " .. new_val
end)

You don’t have to do GetPropertyChangedSignal. Use a changed event.

#13 
local TextLabel = script.Parent
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local HeightValue = leaderstats.Height

TextLabel.Text = "Money: " ..HeightValue.Value
print("done")
HeightValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
print("done2")
   TextLabel.Text = "Money: " ..HeightValue.Value
print("done3")
end)

show us the output

This should work:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Text = "Denarii: "..player.leaderstats.Denarii.Value

I used this in one of my games and it works perfectly. Of course you would change denarii to the name of your currency and the script is a local script inside of the text label.

Its saying that Height either is misspelled or does not exist at all in the leaderstats folder. Are you sure you have spelled Height value correctly?

1st. you never name your textlabel variable
2nd try leaderstats:WaitForChild(“Height”)
3rd wheres the printing

This worked perfectly, but is there a way that it doesnt have to say money in the front?

#19

Yep you can just put:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Text = player.leaderstats.Denarii.Value
