How would I make button deduct certain amount of currency?

Hi there! I'm BlackOrange3343 and it's time to help!

Here's your script;

Buy = script.Parent
Gun = game.Lighting.Pistol

Buy.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(purchase)
game.Lighting["Pistol"]:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
print "gave gun"


end)

And you want to add a function so that it will take money away. First, we want to make a few changes before advancing.

A few changes;

local Buy = script.Parent -- Added local in front
local Gun = game.Lighting:WaitForChild("Pistol") -- Added local in front and WaitForChild function, WaitForChild waits for the gun to load in or else it may not work in the real game.

Buy.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(purchase)
game.Lighting["Pistol"]:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
print "gave gun"


end)

The thing you should look out for is the Gun variable. As I take a look the gun variable isn't being used in the script, anyway, let's move on.

Now you want to make sure you set a price of how much you want to sell the gun for as a variable.

local Cost = 100

Let's use this as an example.

Now you want to make it so that once clicked if the player has enough money it will work.

Add an "if" statement;

if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= Cost then

Because I'm writing this right here, I'm not sure if ">=" is correct so if it isn't correct then change it to "=>". Also, you should make sure the name is correct if it's Cash or Money etc. Change it to the correct currency. And lastly, you should look out if your leaderstats is stored in leaderstats. It may be stored somewhere else.

Now the final script should look like this;

local Buy = script.Parent -- Added local in front
local Gun = game.Lighting:WaitForChild("Pistol") -- Added local in front and WaitForChild function, WaitForChild waits for the gun to load in or else it may not work in the real game.
local Cost = 100

Buy.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(purchase)
    if player.leaderstats.Cash.Calue >= Cost then
    game.Lighting["Pistol"]:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
    wait()
    print "gave gun"
    end
end)

I suggest you add an else statement is not working.

It would look like this;

local Buy = script.Parent -- Added local in front
local Gun = game.Lighting:WaitForChild("Pistol") -- Added local in front and WaitForChild function, WaitForChild waits for the gun to load in or else it may not work in the real game.
local Cost = 100

Buy.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(purchase)
    if player.leaderstats.Cash.Calue >= Cost then
    game.Lighting["Pistol"]:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
    wait()
    print ("gave gun")
else -- else 
    print("Not enough cash")
    end
end)
