Help With a Leaderboard Please?

Asked by 9 years ago

I need help. Urgently. Please. ~<3~

I recently made a Script that tracks ko/wo, and it's not working. On connect, it gives you one KO and one WO, and then it never registers anything else.

Can you please help? Kudos to you if you help. Thanks.

    local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
    stats.Name = "leaderstats"

    local kills = Instance.new("IntValue")

    kills.Value = 1

    local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
    deaths.Name = "Deaths"
    deaths.Value = 1

    kills.Parent = stats
    deaths.Parent = stats

        if newPlayer.Character ~= nil then break end

This looks pretty much like the default LinkedLeaderboard. So it should already work. But besides that, it looks like you have an (accidental?) - at the end of line 96.
