Boost chips and HUD Bindings

The little chips at the bottom right of a simulator HUD show a player's boosts: +150% cash, the Friend Boost, luck, the daily reward day. Each one has a tooltip and does something when clicked. The same Extra, HUD Bindings, lets one line of code change any HUD widget. Its id in GameData is hud_bindings.

Turn it on#

1. On the website, switch on HUD Bindings in your design's Extras panel, then export and install. It doesn't need Data Saving.
2. Open ServerScriptService > BloxGame > GameData and find GameData.Features.hud_bindings. The chips list has a row per chip.
3. To make the VIP chip sell your VIP pass, paste the pass id.
4. Press Play. The chips show live numbers; hover over one (or hold it on a phone) for its tooltip.

The multiplier: what "+150%" means#

• Cash starts at 100%. A player who earns 2.5 times the cash sees +150%.
• The chips count every boost in the game once: VIP and other game passes, Roblox Premium, the Friend Boost, timed boosts, rebirths and the Index boost. It's the same number clicking, tycoons and offline earnings pay with.
• cashCurrency is the currency they measure (your first currency to start).

The chips#

chips = {
	{ element = "AttrPlus", tooltip = "VIP Boost", shows = "vip", text = "",
	  click = "pass", target = "VIP" },
	{ element = "AttrFriends", tooltip = "Friend Boost", shows = "friends", text = "",
	  click = "invite", target = "" },
	{ element = "AttrDaily", tooltip = "Daily Rewards", shows = "daily", text = "",
	  click = "open", target = "Daily" },
	{ element = "AttrLuck", tooltip = "Luck", shows = "luck", text = "",
	  click = "none", target = "" },
	{ element = "AttrAds", tooltip = "Watch a video for a reward", shows = "text", text = "Claim!",
	  click = "event", target = "WatchAd" },
},

A chip of your design that has no row here is read from its own words (its id, label, tooltip and icon): a "Friend Boost" chip shows the Friend Boost, a "Luck" chip the luck, a "Calendar" chip the Daily Rewards day. A chip it can't read keeps its design text.

Notification badges#

A menu button's red badge (the "!" on Rebirth, the "3" on Quests) shows what the game says, never the design's sample: the number of finished quests waiting to be claimed (a Quests section on the button's screen), "!" when today's daily reward is ready (a Daily section) or when the player can afford a rebirth (a Rebirth screen). Gifts, spins and Index milestones show their own count. A badge with nothing behind it doesn't show. Your own scripts can set one with ui:setBadge("btn_shop", 2) (false hides it).

The VIP chip: sell your VIP pass#

1. Create the game pass in the Creator Hub (how).
2. Paste its id into its entry in GameData.Passes, for example VIP = { id = 1234567890, ... }.
3. The chip's target is the entry's name: "VIP". Called something else, like ["2x Coins"]? Set target = "2x Coins", or paste the pass id as the target.

For the chip to show a boost, the pass needs a multiplier perk, like perks = { multiplier = 2, currency = "coins" } (the Game Passes Extra gives it). With the VIP Pass Extra on, target = "VIP" also finds its pass id.

Drive any HUD widget with one attribute#

Every HUD widget of your design follows a player attribute called Hud_ + its id or type. Set it from any server Script:

player:SetAttribute("Hud_Objective", "Collect 10 coins")
player:SetAttribute("Hud_Counter", "3/10") -- a counter with its goal
player:SetAttribute("Hud_Meter", 0.4) -- 40% full
player:SetAttribute("Hud_BestTime", "1:05") -- the Stats row "Best Time"

-- on workspace: every player sees it
workspace:SetAttribute("Hud_Timer_EndsAt", os.time() + 60)

• The second Counter is Hud_Counter2, and so on. Hud_<name>_Visible = false hides a widget.
• A player's own attribute wins over the one on workspace.
• In Studio, Output lists every widget of your design and its attribute when you press Play.
• No code at all: a row in bindings copies a leaderstat, attribute, currency or stat into a widget every second, like { widget = "Counter", source = "clicks", format = "short" }.
• A data widget nothing drives (no system writes it, no Hud_ attribute, still the design's sample) is hidden after a few seconds, so a made-up number never looks real. It comes back as soon as something drives it.

Troubleshooting#

• "This isn't for sale yet." on a chip: its target doesn't match an entry with a real id. Output says the chip "AttrPlus" sells "VIP", which has no id in GameData yet.
• "You already have it!" The player owns that pass already.
• A chip keeps its design value: its element isn't the chip's id in your design, or the chip has no row in chips and its words don't say what it shows.
• A HUD widget disappeared a few seconds after joining: nothing in your game drives it, so it was hidden instead of showing the design's sample. Set its Hud_ attribute (or add a bindings row), or turn hideUndriven off.
• The Ads chip does nothing: it fires the event WatchAd, which your own code handles. Set click = "none" or hide the chip in GameData.UI if you don't use it.
• The +% seems too big: shows = "cash" adds every boost together. Pick one source ("vip", "friends"...) to show only that.
• A Hud_ attribute does nothing: check its name against the list in Output (capitals don't matter). Set on the client, it only shows for that player.
