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:
01 | amnt = 50000 |
02 | function onTouched(part) |
03 | local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") |
04 | if (h~=nil) then |
05 | local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name) |
06 | if (thisplr~=nil) then |
07 | local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats") |
08 | if (stats~=nil) then |
09 | local score = stats:findFirstChild("Gold") |
10 | if (score~=nil) then |
11 | score.Value = score.Value + amnt |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | script.Parent:remove() |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 |
19 | 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
01 | local Amount = ??? |
02 |
03 | local Dead = false |
04 | local Char = script.Parent |
05 | local Attacker = Instance.new("ObjectValue",Char) |
06 | Attacker.Name = "Attacker" |
07 |
08 | function WhenTouched(Part) |
09 | if Part:IsA("Part") and Part.Parent:IsA("Tool") then |
10 | --This is executed when a sword hits him |
11 | if not Dead then |
12 | Attacker.Value = Game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent.Parent) |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |
