What event should I use??

Asked 204 views1 answers

Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of making a tycoon, but I'm stuck on one thing:

I have an IntValue in the Player, and I want to script it that when the value is 25,50,75 or 100, the player earns a Player Point. I tried this script but I realized that is would only work once, which is what I don't want.

if script.Parent.Value == 25 or 50 or 75 or 100 then
	game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(script.Parent.Parent.userId, 1)
end

I forgot the event, but it was an event that waits until the value is either this that or that

Well, first, it's not if script.Parent.Value == 25 or 50 or 75 or 100 then. You need to do if script.Parent.Value == 25 or script.Parent.Value == 50 or script.Parent.Value == 75 or script.Parent.Value == 100 then

Anyways,

I would use a changed event. It fires every time the value is changed.

local val = script.Parent
val.Changed:connect(function()
	--code here
end)

You could also use a while loop,

local val = script.Parent
while val.Value == 25 or val.Value == 50 or val.Value == 75 or val.Value == 100 do
	--code here
end
