how do you make a currency conversion script?
i tried to make this script convert 500 "Money" into 1 "Credits"
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if hit.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 500 then
hit.leaderstats.Money.Value = hit.leaderstats.Money.Value - 500
hit.leaderstats.Credits.Value = hit.leaderstats.Credits.Value + 1
else
print("Not enough money")
end
end
end)
basically i tried to make it find the humanoid then if they had 500 or more money it would give them 1 credit in return, but nothing happened
thanks

hit would be the part that touched your script.Parent, you'd want to get the player, because that is where the leaderstats is stored.
The player service has a method to get the player from the character with internal validation. local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
if a character is provided, it will return the player. If anything else is provided, it will return nil.
You can use it like this:
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
--Get the player, returns nil if it doesnt exists, which is why it's in the next if statement.
local Player = PlayerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Player and Player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 500 then
Player.leaderstats.Money.Value = Player.leaderstats.Money.Value - 500
Player.leaderstats.Credits.Value = Player.leaderstats.Credits.Value + 1
else
print("Not enough money")
end
end)

Are you sure that you change your money value from the server and not the client? (For Filtering enabled) RubenKan 3615 — 5y
