Rewarding Players For Killing NPC's?
So, recently I've been working on creating my own NPC's and all that stuff...well anyways, my question to whoever is willing to help is: How do I find the player who killed the NPC? How would I be able to do this, and find the exact player who killed the NPC so that I can award them? (I want the player to be awarded gold when the NPC is killed.)
Gold Stat: game.Players.Player.leaderstats.Gold
Heres what I have so far in the sword I made:
Plr=game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse=Plr:GetMouse()
Swinging=false
ReadyToSwing=true
SwingTime=.75
---Functions---
function Swing()
Swinging=true
ReadyToSwing=false
script.Parent.Parent.GripForward=Vector3.new(1,0,0)
script.Parent.Parent.GripPos=Vector3.new(0,0,-1)
script.Parent.Parent.GripRight=Vector3.new(0,1,0)
script.Parent.Parent.GripUp=Vector3.new(0,0,0)
wait(SwingTime)
script.Parent.Parent.GripForward=Vector3.new(1,0,0)
script.Parent.Parent.GripPos=Vector3.new(0,0,-1.5)
script.Parent.Parent.GripRight=Vector3.new(0,-1,0)
script.Parent.Parent.GripUp=Vector3.new(0,0,1)
Swinging=false
wait(1)
ReadyToSwing=true
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Part)
if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and Swinging==true then
Plr=Part.Parent
PlrName=Plr.Name
if not game.Players:FindFirstChild(PlrName) or game.Players:FindFirstChild(PlrName).Character~=Plr then
Plr.Humanoid:TakeDamage(math.random(5,8)/2)
end
end
end)
script.Parent.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if Swinging==false and ReadyToSwing==true then
Swing()
end
end)
end)
If anyone could possibly help me, thank you in advance.

The way I do this is by having an ObjectValue called "attacker" with the value of the player be inserted into the NPC's Humanoid. Then, in the NPC, there's an event that listens for .Died(), and it will use the "attacker" ObjectValue to find the player's leaderstats, and then add gold. Maybe a little something like this? (Note: this doesn't have to be a new script. It can be added into the function on line 25)
--in the object that will damage the NPC upon hitting it
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local attacker = Instance.new("ObjectValue", humanoid)
attacker.Name = "attacker"
attacker.Value = Plr
attacker.Parent = humanoid
Debris:AddItem(attacker, 0.5) --you can change this part, maybe add something to delete everything called "attacker" in humanoid before inserting it, this part just makes it automatically remove itself after 0.5 seconds.
end
end
end)
--in NPC's Humanoid
script.Parent.Died:connect(function()
local attacker = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("attacker")
if attacker then
attacker.Value.leaderstats.Gold.Value = attacker.Value.leaderstats.Gold.Value
end
end)
If this code doesn't work, or you need more help, leave a comment!
