If leaderstats is this high, then change sign text?

Asked Jan 4, 2020412 views2 answers

So I am making a game, and I want it where if you have more than 49 dollars, the sign will say something if you have less than 49 dollars, it says something different. I made random words for this example, so here it is. The problem is that the sign doesn't change. Thank you!

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local Stats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	local Money = Stats:WaitForChild("Johanna")
	 wait(1)
	if Money < 49 then script.Parent.SurfaceGui.SIGN.Text = "Hello!"
	else
			if Money > 49 then script.Parent.SurfaceGui.SIGN.Text = "Not enough money."
	end

I think this is because you need to be accessing the Value property of the Money leaderstat.

What I believe you need is to detect is the player's money value has change. For that, I will be using GetPropertyChangedSignal

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Stats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Money = Stats:WaitForChild("Johanna")
wait(1)
Money:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() -- Using GetPropertyChangedSignal instead of .Changed to only detect the money value changing since .Changed will always fire when the money's properties has been changed such as it's name.
	if Money.Value > 49 then
		script.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui.SIGN.Text = "Not enough money."
	else
		script.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui.SIGN.Text = "Hello!"	
	end
end)

Hope this helps, and remember to accept it if it did! Any errors, report to me and I will fix it asap!

Thank you for responding! But sadly, this didn't work. The text didn't change.

No, which is strange.

are you changing the value of the money?

Then you change the value of the money and the event will fire.

How do you change the value?

AnonymousJan 4, 2020#

Im assuming you a have server script to create the leaderstats when the player has joined, just use a loop to changed to the value every x seconds.
