how to change value through script?

Asked by

local part = script.Parent.Touch
local part2 = script.Parent.TouchAgain
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local AddValue = ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("AddValue")

part.Touched:Connect(function(Find)
    local Parent = Find.Parent
    local humanoid = Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then

    end
end)

everything works apart from the actual things I want it to do.

I am trying to make it so it adds

player.HP.Value = player.HP.Value + 1

however I am doing it in a script and not in a local script and that won't be possible, how can I make it work?

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.

:GetPlayerFromCharacter allows you to get a player from their character model. Use the following code (inside the if humanoid check):

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Parent)

if player then
    AddValue:FireClient(player)
end

Hope this helped!

the check if humanoid code already works, I need help setting up the system that adds value to the value inside of the player, but I can't as its a script and not a local script. I can't access game.Players.LocalPlayer.HP.Value imerchanti 0 — 4y

AddValue:FireServer(number) works but only from LocalScript, how to do it from just a script? imerchanti 0 — 4y

You can still access HP.Player.Value from the server, or a script. GetPlayerFromCharacter returns the player associated with the character that touched the part, and from there it's a simple matter of defining the path to your value.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Find)
    local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Find.Parent)
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        local HP = player:WaitForChild("HP")
         if HP then
        HP.Value = HP.Value + 1
          print(HP.Value)
    end
end)
