Points on a leaderboard?
So I'm quite new to lua, but I've had some experience. I came across this
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
stats = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
points = Instance.new("IntValue", stats)
points.Name = "Points"
points.Value = 0
end)
script.Parent.Part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v == hit.Parent then
points.Value = points.Value + 10
end
end
end)
It's supposed to add points to the leaderboard when each player touches a part. So in other words, it loops around all the players that are in the server, and if it's the right player, it gives him 10 points. But it doesn't seem to add points. Did I do something wrong? And if there's something that could be done to make it better, I'd be happy to know.
Regards, Techadox.

Persnally, I think you should use GetPlayerFromCharacter & Debounce (http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Players/GetPlayerFromCharacter & http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Debounce) Vrakos 109 — 6y

Ok..
You never defined
pointsin the Touched event.You should use the
GetPlayerFromCharacterfunction to get the Player object.Also, I suggest adding a Debounce, to prevent the code from bounce-firing.
local db = false --Debounce, default off.
script.Parent.Part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if not db then --if debounce is off, execute code
db = true --turn on debounce
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr then --Check if it's a player that touched
local points = plr:FindFirstChild("Points") --find value
if points then --check if it exists
points.Value = points.Value + 10 --increment value
end
end
db = false --turn off debounce
end
end)
