How to increase value in an argument? (Remote Events/FE)

Asked 693 views1 answers

Let's say I make a leaderboard and I want to add an increasing value every ten seconds (I'm using FE and RemoteEvents), how would I be able to do that. I tried adding the 'wait()' but I'd prefer another way.

For example, I have an argument like this: game.ReplicatedStorage.statFunc:FireServer(plr, value) game.ReplicatedStorage.statFunc:FireServer("100") but I want the value to increase every 10 seconds.

Script for creating the leaderstats and value:

local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Lead = rStorage:WaitForChild("leadFunc", rStorage)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local function onLeadFired(plr, value)
	local leader = Instance.new("IntValue")
	local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
	leader.Name = "leaderstats"
	leader.Parent = plr
	wait(0.5)
	stats.Name = "Stats"
	stats.Value = value
	stats.Parent = plr.leaderstats
end

Lead.OnServerEvent:connect(onLeadFired)

Script for changing stats:

local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Stat = rStorage:WaitForChild("statFunc", rStorage)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local function onStatFired(plr, value)
	local stats = plr.leaderstats.Stats
	wait(0.5)
	stats.Value = value
end

Stat.OnServerEvent:connect(onStatFired)

LocalScript for both:

local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Lead = rStorage:WaitForChild("leadFunc", rStorage)
local Stat = rStorage:WaitForChild("statFunc", rStorage)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Lead:FireServer("100")
wait(10)
Stat:FireServer("200")

Forgive me. I do not know what a code block or inline code. Thanks!

Use a while loop for example.

while wait(10) do
--script to change value
end

I'll explain it now(not this because its self explanatory but loops)so a loop is a statement that will keep running until something is false/true.There are 3 types of loops while,for and repeat. While will run until something is false like

while true do
blah blah
end
if false then it will stop.

For runs until the increment has been reached.

for i = 1,50 do--once it has ran 50 times it'll stop
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(2)
end

repeat is will repeat a code until a certain condition is met. By the way while and repeat loops NEED a wait() somewhere in the code or it'll crash.

repeat
local i = Instance.new("Part")
i.Parent = game.Workspace
wait()
until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health == 0

There's also generic for but that isn't a loop don't get it mixed up with loop for. I'm not sure by i don't wanna use wait ya meant that sorry if ya did.
