My button isn't working when I don't have the desired amount?
I have a tycoon button that when pressed, takes away the amount that is specified in a value. The problem is that if I step on the button and I don't have enough money, it won't work when I do.
local cost = script.Parent.cost
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local debounce = true
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
local plrstats = player.leaderstats.Money
if debounce then
debounce = false
if plrstats.Value >= cost.Value then
plrstats.Value = plrstats.Value - cost.Value
wait(10)
debounce = true
end
end
end)
end)
This is a representation of the model:
button
basepoint
buyscript (the script above)
cost (number value)
stand (just a part below the basepoint for design)
The Lua code above is not a script or line of code, just a recreation of the model in the explorer.
The script is made to work so that when a player touches the button, it finds the value of "cost" (the price for say, a wall of a tycoon) and if the player has more or equal to the desired amount, take the money away. The debounce is obviously just the cooldown for the button.

Its because you are setting the debounce to false everytime you touch the brick, no matter if they have enough money or not, so when they dont have enough money, they step on the brick and the debounce will change to false, then when they have enough money and step on the brick, well it wont make it through the debounce checking since debounce is already false
change the debounce boolean when the player has enough money and it will work
local cost = script.Parent.cost
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local debounce = true
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
local plrstats = player.leaderstats.Money
if debounce then
debounce = false--this is the part where you made a mistake
if plrstats.Value >= cost.Value then
plrstats.Value = plrstats.Value - cost.Value
wait(10)
debounce = true
end
end
end)
end)
Im pretty sure you know what to do now
