What's wrong with this script? I think I have the structure done correctly?

Asked by 9 years ago

I'm making a script to make a "bank" so that the contents of an intvalue inside a player's backpack can be stored inside an intvalue inside a brick. The actual script that makes this happen in inside a textbutton, so the structure of the whole thing is like

bankbox
 |-Gui Frame
    |-Depositamt (a textbox)
    |- Depositbutton (a button)
        |- script

player
|- Backpack
    |-Money (intvalue)

The code is below

function OnMouseClick()
    local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
    local playeracct = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
    if playeracct == nil then
        playeracct = Instance.new("IntValue")
        playeracct.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
        playeracct.Name = player.Name
        playeracct.Value = 0
    end
    playeracct.Value = playeracct.Value + tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.Depositamt.Text)
    player.Backpack.Monies.Value = player.Backpack.Monies.Value - tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.Depositamt.Text)
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(OnMouseClick)

When I test this script, it doesn't have any errors that display on the console, but nothing happens to my "money" intvalue in my player. I'm at a loss on how to explain that, and would appreciate another person's opinion.

I recommend using a local script instead of having to use player = script.parent.parent...etc you can use local player = Game.Players.LocalPlayer deputychicken 226 — 9y
