I'm trying to give players different colored particles when they reach a certain amount of Money. i have the following Script working perfectly with no errors in studio, however it does nothing in server.

The hierarchy is as follows game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharcterScripts.Part.Script, ParticleEmitter

FE is OFF, and No error present themselves.

I am extremely new with no prior knowledge to scripting, learning from vids and editing for days until something works, an explanation of how i've gone wrong or a point to an alternative method would be most appreciated.

thanks in advance.

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local money = player.leaderstats.Money
03 
04while true do
05wait()
06 
07if money.Value < 1000 then
08   script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
09   script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,1,1))
10elseif money.Value > 999 and money.Value < 2500 then
11 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
12  script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,0,1))
13  elseif money.Value > 2499 and money.Value < 5000 then
14 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
15 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,0,1))
16    elseif money.Value > 4999 and money.Value < 10000 then
17 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
18 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,1,0))
19    elseif money.Value > 9999 and money.Value < 25000 then
20    script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
21 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,1,1))
22 elseif money.Value > 24999 and money.Value < 75000 then
23 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
24 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,0,0))
25 elseif money.Value > 74999 and money.Value < 500000 then
26 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
27  script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,0,0))
28  elseif money.Value > 499999 and money.Value < 1000000 then
29  script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

Why are u using a while trough loop inside a while trough loop, if you use changed every time it changes a bit it runs that script.. DanielDeJong3 158 — 7y

trough = true* DanielDeJong3 158 — 7y

like i said i have no knowledge haha, i went ahead and removed the .Changed event though and it is still functioning the same. Works in Studio, Not in Server. Yishles 4 — 7y

Okay sorry about my previous answer I was thinking of C++ lmao. Here's you correct answer:

01game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
02money = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.money
03 
04money.Changed:connect(function()
05 
06if money.Value < 1000 then
07   script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
08   script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,1,1))
09elseif money.Value > 999 and money.Value < 2500 then
10 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
11  script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,0,1))
12  elseif money.Value > 2499 and money.Value < 5000 then
13 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
14 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,0,1))
15    elseif money.Value > 4999 and money.Value < 10000 then
16 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
17 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,1,0))
18    elseif money.Value > 9999 and money.Value < 25000 then
19    script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
20 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,1,1))
21 elseif money.Value > 24999 and money.Value < 75000 then
22 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
23 script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,0,0))
24 elseif money.Value > 74999 and money.Value < 500000 then
25 script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
26  script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0,0,0))
27  elseif money.Value > 499999 and money.Value < 1000000 then
28  script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
29    script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(1,1,0))

Let me know if it works. I'm pretty sure your while true is causing problems. I also added a WaitForChild for precaution.

thanks for the tweaks, i'll definately use them so it runs on change rather than constantly... i actually just found the problem though and got it working.. turns out i just had to switch to a LocalScript as i was calling LocalPlayer. thanks for the adjustment though :) Yishles 4 — 7y
