How to keep checking stats every four seconds?
Hi.
How can I check every single player's leaderstats.reputation.Value every 4 seconds?
--do this to every player:
if(Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")) then
if(Player.leaderstats.reputation.Value < 0)then
--do things
end
end
wait(4)
--repeat
Uh, one more thing. There is this function, getPlayerFromCharacter(). I'm looking for a function that would do the opposite thing.

You should tab that a bit better. iFlusters 355 — 8y

I didn't tab it like that, it broke after I pasted it here. Programical 653 — 8y

while wait(4) do
for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
--do this to every player:
if Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
if Player.leaderstats.reputation.Value < 0 then
--do things
end
end
end
--repeat
end
As for your question involving getting the character from the Player, the character is a child of the Player, so you can index it the way you'd index any child.Player.Character
Hope this helps you

You can just do while wait(4) do, replacing the 'true' and removing the wait(4) below. iFlusters 355 — 8y

Don't.
Use Events instead. I am highly against using polling-based solutions where Roblox provides an event-based alternative. Use Value.Changed instead.
Reputation.Changed:connect(function(newRep)
if newRep < 0 then
-- Do things.
end
end)
If you need the Player, you'll want to stick that inside of a PlayerAdded just as DepressionSensei's answer suggests.
