Why is the rest of the code not running? thanks to the three guys that downvoted gave me a shoutout
It's not running code after the while wait() do, loop.
How would i stop that, and why? I wan't a clear answer : -)
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local AmountOfCash
function CheckStats()
if Player then
local Cash = Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
return Cash
end
end
while wait() do
local cash = CheckStats()
AmountOfCash = cash
end
Player.leaderstats.Cash.Changed:Connect(function(amount)
local number = CheckStats()
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Modula = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.AbbreviateNumber)
local text = Modula:Abbre(number)
script.Parent.Cash.Text = text
print(amount - AmountOfCash)
end)

When would you want to stop while wait() do? I need the answer so I'd know and be able to help you. Gabe_elvin1226aclan 323 — 3y

any type of loop yelds code, anything after it don't runs untill the loop stops, you can move lines 18-28 to before the loop and it will work Leamir 3138 — 3y

You realise your getting downvoted BECAUSE your being rude..? I don't get why you have to "shoutout" them in your title. It makes you look like a butthole. GAM3RBOY2008 0 — 3y

No need for snark in your title, or for demands.
The problem is that when loops run and they stop everything after them from running since Lua runs from line-to-line. You should learn about coroutines or spawning threads.
The solution is simply this:
local f = coroutine.create(function()
while wait() do
-- do stuff
end
end
coroutine.resume(f)

I won't edit the answer, but just replace lines 13 to 16 with this and put lines 14 and 15 into line 3. radiant_Light203 1166 — 3y

You MUST put the while loop at the end. Because the script will be on repeating that loop, and will not go the next line of the script.

The only way to get the code after the while loop is to have some kind of breakout aka:
local doBreak = false
while true do
if(doBreak == true) then
break
end
wait()
end
--// this bit will NOT be execuited unless the doBreak becomes true! otherwise it would be run!
print("hello world!")
to make it easyer i would make changes from:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local AmountOfCash
function CheckStats()
if Player then
local Cash = Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
return Cash
end
end
while wait() do
local cash = CheckStats()
AmountOfCash = cash
end
Player.leaderstats.Cash.Changed:Connect(function(amount)
local number = CheckStats()
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Modula = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.AbbreviateNumber)
local text = Modula:Abbre(number)
script.Parent.Cash.Text = text
print(amount - AmountOfCash)
end)
To:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local AmountOfCash
function CheckStats()
if Player then
local Cash = Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
return Cash
end
end
--// moved this before the while loop so it gets hooked up
Player.leaderstats.Cash.Changed:Connect(function(amount)
local number = CheckStats()
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Modula = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.AbbreviateNumber)
local text = Modula:Abbre(number)
script.Parent.Cash.Text = text
print(amount - AmountOfCash)
end)
while wait() do
local cash = CheckStats()
AmountOfCash = cash
end
for the code you posted to work after the while loop you would need some way of breaking out of the loop but then re-call the loop after you hook up the event for your cash. something like:...
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local AmountOfCash
function CheckStats()
if Player then
local Cash = Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
return Cash
end
end

local FinishedLoading = false
function mainLoop()
while wait() do
local cash = CheckStats()
AmountOfCash = cash
if(FinishedLoading == false) then
break;
end
end
end
mainLoop()
Player.leaderstats.Cash.Changed:Connect(function(amount)
local number = CheckStats()
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Modula = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.AbbreviateNumber)
local text = Modula:Abbre(number)
script.Parent.Cash.Text = text
print(amount - AmountOfCash)
end)
FinishedLoading = true
mainLoop()
