Why won't my backpack script update the players gear after they level up?
I posted a question earlier about making items appear in the backpack every time a player respawns, and I solved that problem. Now, whenever a player joins, it doesn't give them any gear items until after they respawn. Also, once they level up, it doesn't update their gear, so they are always stuck with the same level gear that they started with. I don't really know how to fix this problem, and need some help!
(This is just a piece of the larger script)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local lev0 = false
local lev1 = false
while true do
local statstore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("levels")
key = "user_" .. player.userId
local stats = statstore:GetAsync(key)
if stats >= 0 and lev0 == false then
local flashlight = game.ServerStorage.Flashlight:Clone()
flashlight.Parent = player.Backpack
flashlight.Parent = player.StarterGear
lev0 = true
end
if stats >= 1 and lev1 == false then
local gravcoil = game.ServerStorage.GravityCoil_Level1:Clone()
gravcoil.Parent = player.Backpack
gravcoil.Parent = player.StarterGear
lev1 = true
end

First thing would be to add a wait value. deputychicken 226 — 9y

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local lev0 = false
local lev1 = false
local players = {}
for a,b in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(players,b)
end
for i=1, #players do
local statstore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("levels")
key = "user_" .. player.userId
local stats = statstore:GetAsync(key)
if stats >= 0 and lev0 == false then
local flashlight = game.ServerStorage.Flashlight:Clone()
flashlight.Parent = player.Backpack
lev0 = true
end
if stats >= 1 and lev1 == false then
local gravcoil = game.ServerStorage.GravityCoil_Level1:Clone()
gravcoil.Parent = player.Backpack
lev1 = true
end
end
This should work.

For level 0 you are checking if the value stats is greater than or equal to 0 meaning even if it's level 1 it will still be greater than 0 so it will still count that as level 0 and level 1, so use == not >=

That is how I wanted it to be set up, so that you get the rewards from every level equal to and below your current level Legobrain9275 25 — 9y
