How do I get a code to run once leader-board hits 30 units?
So I am making a Roblox 3rd Person shooter game and I have a leaderboard script in ServerScriptStorage which has this code
local Players = game.Players
local Template = Instance.new 'BoolValue'
Template.Name = 'leaderstats'
Instance.new('IntValue', Template).Name = "Kills"
Instance.new('IntValue', Template).Name = "Deaths"
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
wait(1)
local Stats = Template:Clone()
Stats.Parent = Player
local Deaths = Stats.Deaths
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
Deaths.Value = Deaths.Value + 1
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild "Humanoid"
if Humanoid then
Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
for i, Child in pairs(Humanoid:GetChildren()) do
if Child:IsA('ObjectValue') and Child.Value and Child.Value:IsA('Player') then
local Killer = Child.Value
if Killer:FindFirstChild 'leaderstats' and Killer.leaderstats:FindFirstChild "Kills" then
local Kills = Killer.leaderstats.Kills
Kills.Value = Kills.Value + 1
end
end
return -- Only one player can get a KO for killing a player. Not 2, not 3. Only one.
end
end
end)
end
end)
end)
So at the very end I am trying to get if kills = 30 then run a code.. here's my attempt
if kills == 30 then
--Runs a code for example
print("Worked")
but it didn't work and I am not a roblox engineer I am a newbie at scripting so don't just give me a code and expect me to understand it

This will be needed to be somewhere inside the player added function, and after the point that you define Kills as a variable
Kills.Changed:Connect(function(property)
if property == "Value" then
if Kills.Value == 30 then
--Code
print("Worked")
end
end
end)
What this does is it detects every time the value of Kills changes. You could use a while true do loop, but with this way, it doesnt always run which reduces server lag. If it ever changes and equals 30, then something will happen.
The reason you can't just have if statements on their own is that they only check if that statement is true when the server starts up, so they must be encased in some type of repeatable function or a loop.
I hope this helps, and if it did please accept the answer :)
