Having troubles awarding currency...?
I'm making a game and gold is the currency. I want to make NPC's that if you kill you will be awarded a certain amount of gold. I currently don't have the knowledge to do this, all I have is this script:
amnt = 50000
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (h~=nil) then
local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
if (thisplr~=nil) then
local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if (stats~=nil) then
local score = stats:findFirstChild("Gold")
if (score~=nil) then
score.Value = score.Value + amnt
end
end
end
script.Parent:remove()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
I am a extreme newbie to Lua so I tried taking the easy way out and just making it so if you touch the NPC then it will award you the gold; but that causes many problems. Could anyone help me? Greatly appreciated.

Put an ObjectValue inside of the NPC model. I named the value "Attacker". Every time that the NPC is attacked change the ObjectValue to the attacker. Then using the Diedevent of the Humanoid. Just award the person inside of the Objectvalue the points.
This would be located in the character model
local Amount = ???
local Dead = false
local Char = script.Parent
local Attacker = Instance.new("ObjectValue",Char)
Attacker.Name = "Attacker"
function WhenTouched(Part)
if Part:IsA("Part") and Part.Parent:IsA("Tool") then
--This is executed when a sword hits him
if not Dead then
Attacker.Value = Game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent.Parent)
end
end
end
function Respawn()
--Respawn here
Dead = false
end
Char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
Dead = true
Attacker.Value.leaderstats.Gold = Attacker.Value.leaderstats.Gold + Amount
Respawn()
end)
for _,n in pairs(Char:GetChildren()) do
if n:IsA("Part") then
n.Touched:connect(WhenTouched)
--Fire WhenTouched whenever any part of the character is touched.
end
end
