How can I connect my punch script to my exp IntValue?
This is my punch script (Animation), I'm trying to connect it to my exp value so that players get +1 exp when connecting with another humanoid, but I'm not sure where to start. The exp is an intvalue located in replicatedstorage.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local dmg = true
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "e" then -- change e to button to activate punch
local an = script.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
an:Play()
script.Parent.RightHand.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent.Humanoid and dmg == true then -- i assume after the then statement a change in the exp would be put here
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(game.ReplicatedStorage.StrengthStatValue.Value * 16) -- change 10 to amount of damage
dmg = false
wait(1)
dmg = true
end
end)
end
end)

In order to make this work, I would move the strength value into an integer value assigned when the player joins the game. For example, this would go in severscriptservice -
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local strength value = Instance.new(IntValue, char)
-- add name, and value here
end)
end)
then, you can easily access the value by using a remote event from your local script to an exp managing script. After you play the animation, you could use RemoteEvent:FireServer to a script that adds +1 exp to the int value.
also, if you aren't sure how to use remote events, here's a helpful article - https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/RemoteEvent
