Why doesn't my condition for my if statement and repeat loop work?
I'm trying to make it so the player would gain 1 money every second, but its not looping correctly. This is what I'm using:
local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = leaderstats.Money
money.Value.Changed:connect(function()
if money.Value < 1000 then
repeat
money.Value = money.Value + 1
wait(1)
until money.Value == 1000
end
end)
money.Value = money.Value - 1
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is simply a mistake in the coding. (peep the comment lines)
local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = leaderstats.Money
money.Value.Changed:connect(function() --every time the money gets changed, this function runs
if money.Value < 1000 then
repeat
money.Value = money.Value + 1 --within the function, the money is being changed, causing the function to repeat itself more than intended
wait(1)
until money.Value == 1000
end
end)
money.Value = money.Value - 1
A solution could be to remove the repeat statement, or repeat the if statement.
local leaderstats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = leaderstats.Money
money.Value.Changed:connect(function()
if money.Value < 1000 then
money.Value = money.Value + 1
wait(1)
end
end)
money.Value = money.Value - 1
