How do I make certain teams earn money?
Hello I need help on what to do, so far I have tried to put the money earning scripts in the teams, but it doesn't work. Here is the script:
local playerStats = {} --this keeps a list of the stats for each player that enters the game
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local money = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats) --We instance a new IntValue as a child of 'leaderstats'
money.Name = "Money" --this is the name you want the leader-stat to be when it shows up in-game.
money.Value = 0 --this is the value of money the new player starts out with. To change this, you can add some more code (shown later)
end)
local money = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
money.Name = "Money"
money.Value = 200
stats[player] = leaderstats
end)
while true do --infinite loop
for player, stats in ipairs(playerStats) do --loops through each player => stat pair in the table
stats.Money.Value = stats.Money.Value + 2
end
wait(5)
end
I would like an actual script for this or a solution if your answering this. Thanks.

Well, one way of doing it is by creating a CheckTeams function. The parameter could be the Player, or the TeamColor. Within the function, there would be an if statement, as well as elseif statements, that checks the TeamColor, and gives them the cash. Here's an example:
function CheckTeams(player)
if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value + 2
end
end
All you need to do is put that into your current script, add the teams, properly add the money, and for the 'for' loop you have at the end, just have it go through the Players, not the stats.

0
local playerStats = {}
local teamSalary = {
["Really red"] = 200;
["Purple"] = 100;
["White"] = 0;
};
local function fetchSalary (teamColor)
if teamColor and BrickColor.new(teamColor) then
for team, salary in ipairs(teamSalary) do
if team:upper() == teamColor:upper() then
return salary
else
return 0
end
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
money.Parent = leaderstats
money.Name ="Money"
playerStats[player] = leaderstats
end)
while wait(5) do
for player, stats in pairs(playerStats) do
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(player) then
local user = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player)
local pay = fetchSalary(tostring(user.TeamColor))
stats.Money.Value = stats.Money.Value + pay
end
end
end
Put it in ServerScriptService or whatever other service will run it smoothly. You shouldn't parent it to each team.
I haven't tested it but it basically awards players a certain amount of money based on their team. In the table teamSalary, set all TeamColors and the amount you want them to receive.
the function fetchSalary iterates through the table teamSalary and returns the appropriate value based on TeamColor, or 0.
in the playerAdded event, the leaderstats are created and each player is basically assigned a slot in the playerStats table.
Finally, the while loops increments the value of Money, from the table playerStats based on the assigned value, and the presence of the player.
I have not tested the code and can't confirm that it will be 100% functional. I don't have ROBLOX Studio on my Chromebook and therefore cannot test it until I get home.
