Adding points on touch?
So I have a brick where you step on it and it rewards points. The problem is that if I set it to add 10 points, it adds 10 points extremely rapidly. I can't seem to get to add 10 points and then that's it.
Here is the code:
amnt = 10
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (h~=nil) then
local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
if (thisplr~=nil) then
local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if (stats~=nil) then
local score = stats:findFirstChild("Points")
if (score~=nil) then
score.Value = score.Value + amnt
end
end
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

The following code will add 10 points to the player's score, and will not do so for the same player when they touch the brick again. Keep in mind that if the player leaves the server and rejoins the same one, then they will not be able to receive points from the part anymore. To combat this, you can use the PlayerRemoving event and remove the player from the table, but I'll leave that up to you.
local amnt = 10 --the amount of points the player will receive
local tab = {} --create a table. This will serve as a blacklist to players who already received points.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)--run the following code when the script's parent is touched
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if tab[part.Parent.Name] or not player then return end --terminate the code if the player is blacklisted or does not exist
tab[player.Name] = true --blacklist the player
local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") --define stats
local score = stats:FindFirstChild("Points") --define score
if not stats or not score then return end --if neither exist, then terminate the code
score.Value = score.Value + amnt --give the player points
end)
