so im making this so when u have a certain thing it puts a stringValue in ur player it works but the thing is since its a while true do it duplicates ive tried many ways but it sometimes doesnt work or doesnt even insert
code:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
while true do
wait(3)
local newValue = Instance.new("StringValue")
newValue.Name = "nameHere"
newValue.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)
Thanks!
Well, the code you provided is meant to create a new string value every 3 seconds. So, it doesn't make any sense with the code you provided and the question you are asking.
I assume that you trying to add string value when player has a certain item, eg : tool, in the backpack. Well, instead of using while loop you can use ChildAdded and if statements to check whether the item you were expecting is added.
Here's an example :
local function Checker(itemAdded) -- Custom function, itemAdded is a variable assigned to the item that is added
if itemAdded:IsA('Tool') then -- Checks if the added item is a tool
if itemAdded.Name == 'Test' then -- If the name of the itemAdded is Test
print('It worked!') -- It will print 'It worked!' in the output.
end
end
end
local function Check(player) -- Our custom function
repeat wait() until player.Character -- It won't execute the function until whole character is loaded
if player.Backpack then -- If backpack of the player is found
local backpack = player.Backpack -- Assigning variable to the backpack
backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(Checker) -- Executes our Checker function we created above, when something is added to backpack.
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(Check) -- Executes our check function
Lemme know if it helps!
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
while true do
wait(3)
if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("nameHere") then
else
local newValue = Instance.new("StringValue")
newValue.Name = "nameHere"
newValue.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end)
This should work. If it did, click accept. If it did not or I misinterpreted your question make sure to let me know! It might not be exactly like this, but something like this should work. If you don't know I suggest learning about FindFirstChild, its very useful
Ok ill test it right now! Thanks!
i just remembered that i tried it already and it still duplicates
The player will never have a tool in their backpack when they first join the game unless its in starter pack.Therefore you will just need to create one since there will be nothing to find.
wait(5) --// Allows the player to get a chance to load in
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local newValue = Instance.new("StringValue")
newValue.Name = "nameHere"
newValue.Parent = Player.Backpack
end)
well the thing is what if they unlock the item in a certain time and not the join time?
well, I just dropped a coin in a well
