Upon touching the cookie, why does it not give a point?
Please encode Lua code in the Lua block code tag (look for the Lua icon in the editor).
As the title says, when I touch the cookie it does not give a point. If you're wondering what the purpose of the "HasCookie1" datastore, it is to prevent people from rejoining to pick up the cookie again & again awarding more points.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local HasCookie1 = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("HasCookie1")
amnt = 1 -- amount of cookie
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (h~=nil) then
local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(h.Parent)
local playerKey = "id_" .. player.UserId
if (thisplr~=nil) then
local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if (stats~=nil) then
local score = stats:findFirstChild("Cookies")
if (score~=nil) and DataStoreService:HasCookie1(player.UserId, false) then
score.Value = score.Value + amnt
HasCookie1:SetAsync(playerKey, true)
end
end
end
script.Parent:remove()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

hello fellow scripter! I heard u needed help; i fixed it for you - and made it a lot more stable. your old code used a global function; which are not stable - i recommend using a local function more often. anyways - here's your fixed code!
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local HasCookie1 = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("HasCookie1")
cookiesToGive = 1 -- amount of cookie
local function giveCookies(hit)
local char = hit.Parent
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
if player then
local hasCookie = HasCookie1:GetAsync("id_" .. player.UserId)
if hasCookie == false then
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local cookies = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Cookies")
if cookies then
cookies.Value = cookies.Value + cookiesToGive
HasCookie1:SetAsync("id_" .. player.UserId, true)
end
else
warn(player.Name .. " already has the cookie.")
end
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
giveCookies(hit)
end)
