Change a Gui only when player is touching a brick?

Asked by

Alright, so I have a brick that has a Script in it and what I need this script to do is change a Players Money Gui but ONLY when the Player is touching the Brick. So far it has not gone right. I am not sure whats wrong but it is just not working. Also there is an error on one of the End's. Here it is:

view source
01local money = game.Workspace.player.PlayerGui.MoneyGui
02local paybrick = script.Parent
03 
04 
05function payperson(player)
06    repeat
07    if player.PlayerGui.Job.Jobname.Text == "Cashier" then
08        MoneyGui.Value = 0 + 10
09        wait(7)
10    else
11        end
12    until(player.touched == false)
13    end
14end --this line says '<eof>' expected near 'end' and I have no idea what an <eof> is.
15 
16script.Parent.touched:connect(payperson)

So it should not be that hard of a Script but I can not figure it out. Also in the MoneyGui is another script that should keep the players money so as the player makes money the Gui shows that without the player having to reset, not sure if it would help but here is that script:

view source
1local money = script.Parent
2local playermoney = script.Parent.Value
3 
4while true do
5    player.PlayerGui.money.Text = playermoney.Value .. '$'
6    wait(0.1)
7end

No errors with this one as far as I know. I really need some help as to why the first script wont work though. I have no idea what an <eof> is and I am just clueless as to what is wrong. I am not very "Advanced" I know the bare bone basics and I am trying to push what I know with this game.

"<eof> expected near end" literally means that the end of the file should be where the final end is. Basically, you just need to get rid of that end. Like this:

view source
01local paybrick = script.Parent
02 
03paybrick.Touched:connect(function(hit)
04    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
05    if player then
06        local money = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").MoneyGui
07        repeat
08                if player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Job.Jobname.Text == "Cashier" then
09                    money.Value = money.Value + 10 --You need to point to the value that is in the MoneyGui here.
10                    wait(7)
11                else return
12            end
13        until paybrick.TouchEnded:wait()
14    end
15end)

Please up vote my answer and accept it if it helped you. :) (Note that I'm not sure if this will work.)

You helped by explaining the <eof> part but the code still does not work. CrispyBrix 113 — 10y

Well, for the money variable, you haven't identified player and you need to use Players instead of Workspace. I've edited the script, see if it works. Spongocardo 1991 — 10y
