On update functions, or a better way of detecting updates?
Hello! I am trying to make a script, in the player's starter gui, which detects their kills, and adds it to their team's score. I need to make sure this only happens when their kills change, because if I don't, it will constantly add to the team's score.
01 | while true do |
02 | wait() |
03 | kos = script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.KOs.Value |
04 | wait(1) |
05 | if script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.KOs.Value ~= kos then |
06 | teamc = script.Parent.Parent.TeamColor |
07 | if teamc == BrickColor.new("Bright blue") then |
08 | print("blue") |
09 | game.Teams.Blue.Score = game.Teams.Blue.Score + script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.KOs.Value |
10 | elseif teamc == BrickColor.new("Bright red") then |
11 | print("red") |
12 | game.Teams.Red.Score = game.Teams.Red.Score + script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.KOs.Value |
13 | elseif teamc == BrickColor.new("Bright green") then |
14 | print("green") |
15 | game.Teams.Green.Score = game.Teams.Green.Score + script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.KOs.Value |

This is what I have, and it doesn't work. The problem seems to be that the KOs value is always equal to their stat, but I want it to be equal to their stat at that time, so I can test their most recent stat to see if it has changed. Thanks in advance :)

Great, can we see your attempt at using the changed event? This is not a request site. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

I showed you... I am using it, then testing their team color and updating that team's score. This is not a request UnityAlex 36 — 9y

Well you gave us no indication what went wrong with your script, and what it sounds like you want us to set up a Changed event function for you. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

Fine, I'll edit the question. UnityAlex 36 — 9y

Used the Changed event on the instance value:
1 | script.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.KOs.Changed:connect(function() |
2 | -- Do stuff |
3 | end) |
Or, alternatively, you could use a serverside script and just manually record each kill.
01 | ResetEvent = function(Humanoid) |
02 | Humanoid.Died:connect(function() |
03 | if Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") then |
04 | --Killer = Humanoid.creator.Value |
05 | end |
06 | end) |
07 | end |
08 |
09 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player) |
10 | repeat wait() until Player.Character |
11 |
12 | local Humanoid = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
13 |
14 | ResetEvent(Humanoid) |
15 |
16 | Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character) |
17 | ResetEvent(Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")) |
18 | end) |
19 |
20 | end) |
This might work... And of course depends on what you're using to detect kills in the first place...
