How do I make a Text label display how much currency you have?
I got this code from a YouTube tutorial
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local leaderStats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats") |
3 | local gold = leaderStats:WaitForChild("Gold") |
4 |
5 | gold:GetPropertyChangeSignal("Value"):Connect(function() |
6 | script.Parent.Text = "Gold"..tostring(gold.Value) |
7 | end) |

So this is a pretty easy fix, just change :GetPropertyChangedSignal to .Changed.
Here's the code I typed up:
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local leaderStats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats") |
03 | local gold = leaderStats:WaitForChild("Gold") |
04 |
05 | --if you want to get the player's gold when they join as well |
06 | script.Parent.Text = 'Gold: '..tostring(gold.Value) |
07 |
08 | gold.Changed:Connect(function() |
09 | script.Parent.Text = "Gold: "..tostring(gold.Value) |
10 | end) |
I tested it in-game with this leaderstats script and it worked just fine for me:
01 | game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
02 | local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
03 | local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass('Humanoid') |
04 |
05 | local leaderstats = Instance.new('Folder') |
06 | leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats' |
07 | leaderstats.Parent = player |
08 |
09 | local gold = Instance.new('IntValue') |
10 | gold.Name = 'Gold' |
11 | gold.Parent = leaderstats |
12 | gold.Value = 1 |
13 |
14 | --gives a player gold every second |
15 | while true do |
16 | wait(1) |
17 | gold.Value = gold.Value + 1 |
18 | end |
19 | end) |

Not sure what you mean by that but if you don't want to use my code you can just changed the GetPropertyChangedSignal to .Changed on yours zane21225 243 — 3y

Just change the text in the quotation marks on line 9 (in the first script) to whatever text you want zane21225 243 — 3y

I think you need to put this code in a LocalScript inside of a TextLabel.
