[Solved] giving gold for all players using table?

Asked 284 views1 answers

I put all the names that gonna get the gold in a table, but inst a String, it is an ObjectValue.

local gold = 25
-- 'players' is the table within 2 Object Values.
for _,v in pairs(players) do
	v.Value.Stats.Gold.Value = v.Value.Stats.Gold.Value + gold
	end

when I send gold to the players, for example, player1, and player2 the condition gives 2x gold for player 1 and 1x gold to player 2. Why?

The same thing happens here:

local gold = 25
for b = 1,#players do
	players[b].Value.Stats.Gold.Value = players[b].Value.Stats.Gold.Value + gold
	end

Create a function that will do this for you automatically. Call the function whenever you want to give all players x gold. Check out the code below.

local Players = game:GetService("Players");

function giveGold (goldAmount)
	
	for _, player in pairs(Players) do
		local gold = player.Value.Status.Gold;
		gold.Value = gold.Value + goldAmount;
	end

end

Then simply call the function with giveGold(25) and it should work as a charm.
