How do I make a surfacegui that gives you a specific amount of money when you click a button on it?

I'm trying to make a money printer for my game that adds 25 to a value every 2 seconds, then shows the value on a surfacegui (I got this part working, I only need help with the next problem), and a button that turns the value into money and gives you it. I spent like an hour trying to find a solution online, the devforum, youtube, developer wiki, etc. but nothing worked. All scripts and other information are shown in the video above.

We're here to help you with scripting error's not to make you something, but I have time and I don't see anything stopping me from helping you so here you go I've set up a little printer test / model for you get the model here

Works beautifully but I want any player to be able to claim the money, not just 1 specific player, I'll figure something out. ElevateTheSecond 11 — 3y

Well, kind of disappointed from a moderation voter, just giving up the models. At least, you could have added some explanation to your script. BestCreativeBoy 1395 — 3y

Well, I'm a type of guy who knows what to do. A lot of people (including me) learn from models like this, I've been in his shoes and I learned from other's projects (not from wiki's or tutorials does don't let you really learn) You really need a brain , need to learn something when you see a source.

So you see this is why I rarely explain stuff, If he wants to learn he's going to learn from my source anyway. VitroxVox 884 — 3y

Well, looking at the scripts in your video, there are a lot of flaws in it.

Flaws:

  1. TextButtons don't work in workspace.

  2. LocalScripts don't work in workspace.

  3. The parameter of MouseButton1Click is nil.

  4. You are firing to server nil values.

Fix:

Well, I can't provide you the code identical to yours, but I will provide some examples.

Use ClickDetector instead of a TextButton. Make sure to put a NormalScript for its function. The parameter of ClickDetector is the player.

E.G.: Using ClickDetector for adding money.

local ClickDetector = script.Parent

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    local Money = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")

    Money.Value = Money.Value + 10
end)

  1. Make sure to put ClickDetector outside SurfaceGui.

  2. You can also add Debounce to prevent spam.

  3. If you want it as a separate button, you can add a small part and put ClickDetector in the part.

Lemme know if it helps!
