how do i put variables in a string?
player = workspace.Parent.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
while true do
wait(1)
cash = workspace.Parent.Players..player.Backpack.DataFolder.Currency.Value
script.Parent.Parent.Counter.Text = cash
end
This is just a simple piece of code that I ripped from my script. I'm trying to constantly update a value for multiple players, so I can't use localplayer.
I have no Idea how to do this, and if anybody can show me how I can do this I would greatly appreciate it!

what exactly are you trying to achieve, like what would you want the string to look like in the end? Benbebop 1049 — 2y

I would assume from your code you are trying to update a GUI to show each players money.
I wrote this that goes through each player in the game and if the DataFolder is loaded then updates the TextBox GUI that the is the scripts parent to show the players currency. For 1 second and then show the next players and so on.
I put this code in a server script as a child to the TextBox, you will need to use a server script if you want to be able to read all players currency.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
while true do
for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("DataFolder") then
local cash = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("DataFolder").Currency.Value
script.Parent.Text = cash
wait(1)
end
end
wait(1)
end
