How can i limit the max number of clones from replicated storage?

Asked by

This is my script for cloning a max of 4 houses from replicated storage. (cloning is done by remote event). this script is inside a spawn gui, which when clicks clones one house.

--local script

view source
01local intg = 0
02local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
03local FindHotel = game.Workspace.Hotels:WaitForChild("Hotel")
04 
05script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
06    if intg <= 3 and player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 50 and not FindHotel then
07         game.ReplicatedStorage.AddBuildings.AddHouse:FireServer()
08        intg = intg + 1   
09        player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 50
10        script.Parent.Visible = true       
11        elseif intg <= 3  and player.leaderstats.Cash.Value < 50 and not FindHotel then
12            script.Parent.Parent.parent.Insufficient.Visible = true
13            wait(1)
14            script.Parent.Parent.parent.Insufficient.Visible = false
15            script.Parent.Visible = true

view source
01game.ReplicatedStorage.AddBuildings.AddHouse.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, intg)
02        local House = game.ReplicatedStorage.Buildings.House1
03        local ClonedHouse = House:Clone()
04        ClonedHouse.Parent = workspace.Houses
05 
06        ClonedHouse.Position = Vector3.new(146.5, 2.5, -236.5)
07        ClonedHouse.Name = "House"
08        ClonedHouse.Anchored = false
09 
10    end)

I also have a destroy gui which destroys I clone if clicked once. Destroy Gui: --local script

view source
01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02 
03 
04script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
05    if game.Workspace.Houses:FindFirstChild("House") then
06         game.ReplicatedStorage.AddBuildings.DestroyHouse:FireServer()
07    player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + 25   
08 
09 
10    end
11 
12end)

--server script

view source
1game.ReplicatedStorage.AddBuildings.DestroyHouse.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, intg)
2        local House = game.Workspace.Houses:WaitForChild("House")
3        House:Destroy()
4end)

The Issue

So when I click the spawn gui after I join the game, I can get only a max of 4 clones. I keep clicking beyond that but nothing happens.

Then I click the destroy gui once and again start clicking the spawn gui. now cloned houses get spammed.

I have used an integer variable to limit the clones. Why is it inefficient? Is there any mistake in the script which has to do anything with it? Please help me thanks in advance!

make a numberValue. Everytime a clone is made, the value goes up by 1.

view source
1script.Parent:Clone().Parent
2script.Parent.NumebrValue.Value = script.Parent.NumebrValue.Value + 1
3 
4--or even easier
5 
6script.Parent:Clone().Parent
7script.Parent.NumebrValue.Value:Increment(1)--something like that, look up how to increment values

and every time before cloning it, check to make sure there are no more than the maximum amount of clones. for example.

view source
1if Clones.Value >= 4 then
2--do not clone
3break--ends the code so it doesnt run again in the game. if you dont want it take it out.
4else--if its not 4 or over (sometimes glitched happen and it goes over limit, so i use greater in case that happens)
5script.Parent:Clone().Parent
6script.Parent.NumebrValue.Value = script.Parent.NumebrValue.Value + 1
7end

but I have also made the same thing, right? QuantumxGeneral 25 — 5y

is there another way to prevent that glitch (4 or over) without breaking the script? QuantumxGeneral 25 — 5y
