How do I make it so the ScreenGui shows the correct amount saved once joining?
Problem: When a player joins a game, a ScreenGui (representing how many coins they have) will be set to 0. If a player has coins and joins a new server, they will have their amount of coins, but the ScreenGui will say 0 until there has been an change in their amount of currency.
EX: I join and earn 50 coins. I leave. I rejoin, I have 0 coins according to the ScreenGui, but I have 50 coins in my player. I know this because I can purchase to destroy a part at the cost of 5 coins. Once I purchase it, the brick destroys, and then ScreenGui updates AFTER the purchase.
Point of Confusion: How do I make it so the ScreenGui shows the correct amount saved once joining?
DataStore Script Local script, located in ServerScriptService
01 | local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("CoinSaveSystem") |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
05 | local leader = Instance.new("Folder",player) |
06 | leader.Name = "Currency" |
07 | local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue",leader) |
09 | Coins.Value = ds:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0 |
10 | ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, Coins.Value) |
11 | Coins.Changed:connect(function() |
12 | ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, Coins.Value) |
17 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player) |
18 | ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.Currency.Coins.Value) |
ScreenGuiScript Local script, located inside the TextBox, located inside a ScreenGui
1 | local coins = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Currency:FindFirstChild("Coins") |
3 | coins.Changed:Connect(function() |
4 | script.Parent.Text = "".. coins.Value |
-I have the TextBox text set to 0 because I new first-time players to start with 0 coins.
-Problem is when a player who already has data saved, their TextBox (located inside ScreenGui) will say 0 until there is a change in their data
-Any way to fix my problem? I can provide more information if needed!
