How can I make a dialog shop using leaderboard money?
I'm a newbie at scripting and I've been trying to make a code to buy items upon clicking a dialog and having the money for it. Here is the code for the dialog
local dialog = script.Parent.Parent
local choice1 = dialog.DialogChoice.KatanaChoice
local user = --how can I find the user that clicked the dialog here?
local stats = user:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
local bank = stats:findFirstChild("Bank")
local cash = stats:findFirstChild("Cash")
dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(plr, choice)
if choice == choice1 then
if cash.Value >= 25000
or bank.Value >=25000 then
local katana = game.Lighting.Katana:clone()
katana.Parent = plr.Backpack
local choice2 = dialog.DialogChoice.RocketChoice
if choice == choice2 then
if cash.Value >= 100000
or bank.Value >= 100000 then
local Rocket = game.Lighting.RocketLauncher:clone()
Rocket.Parent = plr.Backpack
local choice3 = dialog.DialogChoice.SpinnerChoice
if choice == choice3 then
if cash.Value >=500000
or bank.Value >=500000 then
local Spinner = game.Lighting.AutisticShuriken:clone()
Spinner.Parent = plr.Backpack
local choice4 = dialog.DialogChoice.PistolChoice
if choice == choice4 then
if cash.Value >=8000
or bank.Value >=8000 then
local Pistol = game.Lighting.GLOCK18:clone()
Pistol.Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
)
And here is the code for the leaderboard (free model)
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
local c = Instance.new("IntValue")
c.Name = "Cash"
c.Value = 50000
c.Parent = stats
stats.Parent = newPlayer
local b = Instance.new("IntValue")
b.Name = "Bank"
b.Value = 10000
b.Parent = stats
stats.Parent = newPlayer
newPlayer.Changed:connect(function (property)
if (property == "Character") then
onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
end
end)
end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

Alright, so you're on the right track, with some minor modifications you will be able to achieve what you want!
DialogChoiceStarted returns two parameters, that you have already set variables for in your function:
dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(plr, choice) -- plr here returns the player object of the player that clicked the dialog choice end)
Thus, we will be able to use the variable "plr" to check if the player has sufficient funds
So after the modifications, the script should look something like this:
local dialog = script.Parent.Parent
local choice1 = "KatanaChoice"
local choice2 = "RocketChoice"
local choice3 = "SpinnerChoice"
local choice4 = "PistolChoice"
function deductMoney(stat, amount)
stat.Value = stat.Value + amount
end
dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(plr, choice)
local stats = plr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
local bank = stats:findFirstChild("Bank")
local cash = stats:findFirstChild("Cash")
if choice.Name == choice1 then
local price = 25000 -- set the price value to the price the item of the choice is
if cash.Value >= price then
deductMoney(cash, -price) -- take away the money from the cash stat
local katana = game.Lighting.Katana:Clone()
katana.Parent = plr.Backpack
elseif bank.Value >= price then -- else if there is not enough money in cash stat
deductMoney(bank, -price) -- take away the money from bank stat
local katana = game.Lighting.Katana:Clone()
katana.Parent = plr.Backpack
else
print("Not Enough Funds")
end
elseif choice.Name == choice2 then
local price = 100000
if cash.Value >= price then
deductMoney(cash, -price)
local Rocket = game.Lighting.RocketLauncher:Clone()
Rocket.Parent = plr.Backpack
elseif bank.Value >= price then
deductMoney(bank, -price)
local Rocket = game.Lighting.RocketLauncher:Clone()
Rocket.Parent = plr.Backpack
else
print("Not Enough Funds")
end
elseif choice.Name == choice3 then
local price = 500000
if cash.Value >= price then
deductMoney(cash, -price)
local Spinner = game.Lighting.AutisticShuriken:Clone()
Spinner.Parent = plr.Backpack
elseif bank.Value >= price then
deductMoney(bank, -price)
local Spinner = game.Lighting.AutisticShuriken:Clone()
Spinner.Parent = plr.Backpack
else
print("Not Enough Funds")
end
elseif choice.Name == choice4 then
local price = 8000
if cash.Value >= price then
deductMoney(cash, -price)
local Pistol = game.Lighting.GLOCK18:Clone()
Pistol.Parent = plr.Backpack
elseif bank.Value >= price then
deductMoney(bank, -price)
local Pistol = game.Lighting.GLOCK18:Clone()
Pistol.Parent = plr.Backpack
else
print("Not Enough Funds")
end
end
end)
Note: Storing objects in lighting is not the most efficient way of doing so, you can use ReplicatedStorage (if it has to be accessed by local scripts) or ServerStorage (can only be accessed by server scripts). I left it the same you way had it though, set to lighting.
Strong suggestion: when asking questions on here, please ensure correct tabbing of the code, it makes reading the code much easier.
Hope this helped!

I greatly appreciate the help but it does not seem to work still. I've ensured that the dialog responses are the correct names but it doesn't give the item nor deduct money creeperhunter76 554 — 6y

Sorry about that, I fixed the code, you just need to make sure that the name of the DialogChoice objects are named exactly like the variables at the top of the script Newrown 307 — 6y
