[SOLVED]I made a code script but it functions right when the person joins?

function money(amount)
	print('plz')
	plr:WaitForChild("Zeni").Value = plr.Zeni.Value + amount	
end

function power(amountt)
	print("working?")
	plr:WaitForChild("Stats"):WaitForChild("Strength").Value = plr.Stats.Strength.Value + amountt
	print('strength+')
end

plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Input = script.Parent.Parent.CodeInput
Enter = script.Parent
codes = {
["Release!"] = money(1000000),

["Beta!"] = power(5000000),

["ITS OVER 9000!!!"] = power(9000)
}



Enter.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local test = codes[Input.Text]
	print(test.."  this is it!")--says you can't concatenate nil
	if test then
		print('Valid')--doesn't print
		test()
	else
		print("Not")--does print
	end
end)

Also when I join my value goes up by 5000000 and also when I die it goes up by 5000000.

I know you fixed this but I'll post my answer which probably won't work here anyways..

To fix this, you just need to remove () from the functions, and instead put the arguments when you call them.

Like this:

function money(amount)
    print('plz')
    plr:WaitForChild("Zeni").Value = plr.Zeni.Value + amount    
end

function power(amountt)
    print("working?")
    plr:WaitForChild("Stats"):WaitForChild("Strength").Value = plr.Stats.Strength.Value + amountt
    print('strength+')
end

plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Input = script.Parent.Parent.CodeInput
Enter = script.Parent
codes = {
["Release!"] = {money, 1000000}, -- remove and replace

["Beta!"] = {power, 5000000},

["ITS OVER 9000!!!"] = {power. 9000}
}



Enter.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local test = codes[Input.Text]
    print(test.."  this is it!")--says you can't concatenate nil
    if test then
        print('Valid')--doesn't print
        test[1](test[2])
    else
        print("Not")--does print
    end
end)
