How do I make it that when a player clicks on a item, the player gets money in the leaderboard?

Asked 724 views1 answers

I want to make it that when a player clicks on an item he gets money in the leaderboard. This is a struggle I am dealing with for quite a while so I can hope you guys can help me. I already have the leaderstats folder which goes as follows

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) local f = Instance.new("Folder", plr) f.Name = "leaderstats" local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", f) cash.Name = "Cash" cash.Value = 0 end)

And I have the item which changes when a player clicks on it, here is the code of that:

function Money() script.Parent.Money.Decal1.Transparency = 1 script.Parent.Money.Decal2.Transparency = 1 script.Parent.Money.Transparency = 1 script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0 script.Parent.Cash.Playing = true wait(60) script.Parent.Money.Transparency = 0 script.Parent.Money.Decal1.Transparency = 0 script.Parent.Money.Decal2.Transparency = script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 10 end script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(Money)

But I can't figure out how to give value to the Cash file when the players clicks on the money. I hope I am doing it alright, this is my first time on this site so please be kind, thanks for all the help.

the MouseClick event has a built in argument that is the player who clicked, which you can use to access the Cash object

Also, you should refrain from using the second parameter of Instance.new in the future , as using it can have negative effects on performance, due to the way roblox handles property listeners

@theking48989987 , what causes it to drop performance? And I assume you should use the two-line approach of thing = Instance.new('Part) and thing.Parent = other_thing?

Adding on to the comments, I would add a debounce so players cant instantly spam click to get rich. Try this out, I hope it helps! debounce = 0 --let it work

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player) --ensure you have a click detector in your model, another way of writing a function

if debounce == 0 then --make sure debounce isnt 1 

debounce = 0

local players = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name) --find the player who clicked

local cash = players:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")["Cash"] --give the cash

cash.Value = cash.Value + 0 --whatever value you want here

debounce = 1 --set it so they cant click again right away

wait(10) --amount of time in seconds to wait

debounce = 0 --let them do it again

end
end)
