Change Instance (Integer) that was made by a script using another?
I created an instance using another script. It was data storage. I created an integer, which were credits. I'm making a shop that reduces your credit amount when you buy a weapon. Since the instance was created with the earlier script, is there some way I can talk to that script using the shop button one?
game.players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
game.Workspace.DataStore
-- This is as far as I have gotten, and the only piece that is important. Are lines of code children of the script, "Datastore" or how do you talk to "leaderstats" or, "credits?"

Please post your code. It helps a lot. User#19524 175 — 5y

Will your shop be physical (a building obviously) or a GUI? User#19524 175 — 5y

GUI. A Dialog GUI. It brings the shop up. I am trying to connect the buttons to reduce your credits,and clone the weapon from replicatedstorage. ZenTGE 4 — 5y

I created the credits USING datastorage. How do I talk to that with the button script to further reduce the integer? ZenTGE 4 — 5y

This will be a LocalScript under your TextButton or ImageButton. I will be using RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions, as ROBLOX may be removing experimental mode. Learn more on that here.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BuyRemotes = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BuyWeaponRemotes")
--^ BuyWeaponRemotes is a Folder in ReplicatedStorage.
local CheckPrice = BuyRemotes:WaitForChild("CheckPrice")
local CloneTool = BuyRemotes:WaitForChild("CloneTool")
local Price = CheckPrice:InvokeServer("Sword")
-- ^We will be returning the price here, and "Sword" just change to weapon name.
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
-- Listens for the button being clicked
CloneTool:FireServer("Sword", Price)
end)
Server code, recommend to put it in ServerScriptService.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BuyRemotes = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BuyWeaponRemotes")
local CheckPrice = BuyRemotes:WaitForChild("CheckPrice")
local Weapons = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Weapons")
--^ Another folder inside replicatedstorage. Put your weapon in here.
local CloneTool = BuyRemotes:WaitForChild("CloneTool")
--[[ You may notice we don't have LocalPlayer.
Do not use it on the server, only in LocalScripts.
--]]
local GetPrice = function(player, toolName)
return Weapons[toolName].Price.Value
-- Make sure an IntValue named price is inside the tool.
end
CheckPrice.OnServerInvoke = GetPrice
CloneTool.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, toolName, price)
--[[
up to you check if the player have more or enough,
and the weapon cloning.
--]]
end
end)
I won't give the full code. Though there's a basic understanding on how. Here's a few things that you should read.

I have yet to test it, and I had not know about remote events. Thank you. I will test it soon. ZenTGE 4 — 5y

Ok. By the way, CheckPrice is a RemoteFunction, whilst CloneTool is a RemoteEvent User#19524 175 — 5y

Also, why do you need to get replicated storage? It's already game.ReplicatedStorage. ZenTGE 4 — 5y
