how would i make a script only run once per player and a counter that saves through servers?
im making a game where you find endings with my brother. when you get an ending it kicks you from the game showing what ending you got. i am tasked to make a endings menu that counts how many endings youve gotten. i have started out with testing on one ending
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
local label = player.PlayerGui.EndingGui.Menu.Easyendings.updatable
if player then
label.Text = tonumber(label.Text) + 1
end
end
end)
problem is obviously it doesnt save through server, and it also doesnt only run once per player through servers aswell. what could i use/do to save stuff through server and only allow one per player?

You can either make a table and store player's name and then when someone passes it checks for the name, or you can use values that will be named by the player touched the part and then store it under script and check if it finds it. Example 1:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
local label = player.PlayerGui.EndingGui.Menu.Easyendings.updatable
if player then
if not script:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then
label.Text = tonumber(label.Text) + 1
newVal = Instance.new("StringValue")
newVal.Name = player.Name
newVal.Parent = script
end
end
end
end)
Example 2:
local tabl = {}
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
local label = player.PlayerGui.EndingGui.Menu.Easyendings.updatable
if player then
if not table.find(tabl, player.Name) then
label.Text = tonumber(label.Text) + 1
table.insert(tabl, player.Name)
end
end
end
end)
For saving use DataStore service.
