How can I add a script to the player if a datastore value is true whenever the player respawns?
I am trying to add an aura script to the player whenever the player spawns if their datastore value of hasShock is true. I've tried a ton of different things but nothing seems to be working.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local shock
tool = game.Lighting:findFirstChild("LightningAura")
local function onCharacterAdded(character)
if(shock == true) then
print("this works")
else
print("still works")
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
shock = Player.pscripts.hasShock.Value
if(Player.pscripts.hasShock.Value == true) then
local a = tool:clone()
a.Parent = Player.Character
else
print("Player doesn't have shock")
end
end)
That's the first thing I tried but it always said the player doesn't have shock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tool = game.Lighting:findFirstChild("LightningAura") -- Put the name of your tool here.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local pscripts = Instance.new("Folder") pscripts.Name = "pscripts" pscripts.Parent = player
local hasShock = Instance.new("BoolValue")
--Change below for name
hasShock.Name = "hasShock"
-- Default value
hasShock.Value = false
hasShock.Parent = pscripts
--Again name and default
local hasSSJ = Instance.new("BoolValue")
hasSSJ.Name = "hasSSJ"
hasSSJ.Value = false
hasSSJ.Parent = pscripts
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid').Died:Connect(function()
print("dead")
local a = tool:clone()
if(hasShock.Value == true) then
print("Got this far")
local a = tool:clone()
a.Parent = player.Character
end
end)
end)
end) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the second thing I tried. It got to the got this far print statement every time but it didn't get put in the players inventory. Is there another way to do this? Or is there a way to fix one of the other ones.

Now, Im no Scripting Expert, but I think your problem is happening is because you are giving the tool to the player when they are dead. Perhaps try creating a value inside the player, then activating it whenever the Player dies, waiting until the player respawns, and checking if the player has the value set to true. If the value is set to true, clone the tool into the player's avatar, like this:
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local GiveTool = Instance.new("BoolValue")
GiveTool.Name = "givetool"
GiveTool.Value = false
GiveTool.Parent = player
Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid').Died:Connect(function()
print("dead")
if(hasShock.Value == true) then
print("Got this far")
player.givetool.Value = true
end
end)
if player.givetool.Value == true then
local a = tool:clone()
a.Parent = player.Character
end
end)
Now, like I mentioned before, Im not Scripting Expert, so this may or may not work for you.
