How can I connect my punch script to my exp IntValue?

Asked 163 views1 answers

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

Hope this helps!
