How to locate stats that are not in leaderstats? (Edited)

Asked 298 views1 answers

Ok so my shop is finally working yeah! But we have a problem with adding money to people, instead of it using leaderstats as a way (this is so hackers can't hack they stats) to change it uses a Folder in ServerScriptServices called Players and it adds new Folders with their Username with the stat inside but I have no idea how to locate that from a script so it can change. Here's the script I'm trying to change my leaderboard money with.

local time = 180

while true do
	wait(1)
	time = time - 1
	if (time <= 0) then
		time = 180
		players = game.Players:GetChildren()
		for i=1, #players do
			if (players[i]~=nil) then
				if (players[i]:findFirstChild("leaderstats")) then
					if (players[i].leaderstats:findFirstChild("Credits")) then
						if (players[i]:IsInGroup(234707)==true) then -- user IS in ERR
							players[i].leaderstats.Credits.Value = players[i].leaderstats.Credits.Value + 50
							if (players[i]:IsInGroup(234706)==true) then -- Guard
								players[i].leaderstats.Credits.Value = players[i].leaderstats.Credits.Value + 30
							end
						else
							players[i].leaderstats.Credits.Value = players[i].leaderstats.Credits.Value + 50
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	playersa = game.Players:GetChildren()
	for i=1, #playersa do
		if (playersa[i]~=nil) then
			if (playersa[i]:findFirstChild("PlayerGui")) then
				if (playersa[i].PlayerGui:findFirstChild("PaydayGui")) then
					playersa[i].PlayerGui.PaydayGui.Label.Text = "Next payday in: " .. tostring(time) .. " seconds"
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

Sorry, but this is really confusing. Break it up a little, and leave some code snippets for us to work off of.

All you have to do is change the source of where you're editing the stats, silly. It's on lines 14,16,and 19

I edited some other stuff too for efficiency(;

local time = 180

while wait(1) do
	time = time - 1
	if (time <= 0) then
		time = 180
	end
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		--different source directory
		local plr = game.ServerScriptStorage.Players:FindFirstChild(v.Name)
		if plr then
			--edit--
			local gui = v.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('PaydayGui')
			--edit--
			local creds = plr.Credits
			if gui then
				gui.Label.Text = 'Next payday in '..time..' seconds'
			end
			if plr:IsInGroup(234707) then
				creds.Value = creds.Value + 50
			elseif plr:IsInGroup(234706) then
				creds.Value = creds.Value + 30
			end
			creds.Value = creds.Value + 50
		end
	end
end

PlayerGui is trying to be found in the folder it self not in normal Players instact how I can I find it?

Oh my bad, since we're iterating through a table of all the players with a generic for loop then you can just use 'v' as the player and get the PlayerGui through there(: I'll edit my answer though.
