Why is this not changing the value on touch?
I have it so that when you touch a part, it finds a value within the character and adds a preset amount that's found inside another value in the part.
01 | debounce = false |
02 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
03 | if debounce == false |
04 | then |
05 | debounce = true |
06 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
07 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("money") then |
08 |
09 | local money = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("money") |
10 | local amount = script.Parent:WaitForChild("howmuchmoney").Value |
11 | money.Value = money.Value + amount |
12 | wait(.5) |
13 | debounce = false |
14 |
15 | end |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 | end) |

Is this running in a server script and are there any errors in console? IStarConquestI 414 — 5y

Make sure that "money" is stored in the character and not the player. Also, add print()s every time you are unsure if the code reaches that point to see what went wrong. If the code reaches past line 6 but not past line 7, we know that hit.Parent:FindFIrstChild("money") is returning nil, so there's something wrong with that. This is a trivial question for you to debug yourself, just remember to use print statements and find your mistakes.
