Where would I add this function to my leaderstats script?
Hey scriptinghelpers, I have a leaderstats script that I want to add this function too. I did some testing and, it didn't work where I added it. Below you will find the leaderstats script and the function I want to add to it. The function is to add value to leaderstats when a player kills another player, I just don't know where it fits on my script is the problem. All the code is already written by me. It saves and adds 1 every second. Thank you for the help in advance, I appreciate it!
leaderstats script inside of ServerScriptStorage with a folder folder inside of the script named leaderstats
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local tixStore = dataStore:GetDataStore("TixStore")
local function leaderboardSetup(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local tix = Instance.new("IntValue")
tix.Name = "Tix"
tix.Value = 0
tix.Parent = leaderstats
local data
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
data = tixStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-tix")
end)
if success then
tix.Value = data
else
warn("Error loading ".. player.Name .."'s data".. errorMessage)
end
end
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(leaderboardSetup)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local data = player.leaderstats.Tix.Value
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
tixStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-tix", data)
end)
if not success then
warn("Error saving ".. player.Name .."'s data".. errorMessage)
end
end)
while true do
wait(1)
local playerList = players:GetPlayers()
for currentPlayer = 1, #playerList do
local player = playerList[currentPlayer]
local tix = player.leaderstats.Tix
tix.Value = tix.Value + 1
end
end
The function I want to add to my leaderstats script to add value when a player kills another player.
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(died)
local creator = character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
local leaderstats = creator.Value:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if creator ~= nil and creator.Value ~= nil then
leaderstats.Tix.Value = leaderstats.Tix.Value + 100

You cannot add that function to your leaderstats script.
You are calling a LocalPlayer and therefore that function there needs to be called in a LocalScript Only. No matter where you put that function it will not work.
You need to put it in a LocalScript, then use a RemoteEvent to change the players leaderstats.
To do this, have a RemoteEvent called anything you like ready in your ReplicatedStorage
. In this case i'll just call it "RemoteEvent"
in your local script:
local RE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local player =game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(died)
local creator = character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
local leaderstats = creator.Value:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if creator ~= nil and creator.Value ~= nil then
RE:FireServer(player)
end
end)
end)
in your main leaderstatsScript: insert this chunk of script to the very bottom END of your leaderstat script
local RE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
RE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
player.leaderstats.Tix.Value = player.leaderstats.Tix.Value + 100
end)
