How to make a part in workspace award points under the player when touched?

Asked 353 views1 answers

I have a part under workspace called "Coin" I want to be able to collect this coin and when collected it updates the player points that i have stored under the player as well as the gui I have showing the player those points. My main script is under ServerScriptService. My points system does work when a player joins and plays a match they get the points and the gui updates with the new point value. There is no error output. Does there need to be a script under the coin itself? This is what I have so far under my main game script: 

local Coin
game.workspace.Coin.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~=nil then
	if Coin == true then
		Coin = false
		game.workspace.Coin.Transparency = 1
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
for _,Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if Player:FindFirstChild("Points") then
        awardpoints(player, 10)
   			 end
		end
	end
end

end)

Where is 'awardpoints' function? .-.

The function is at the top of the script and works fine. My main question is how can i make the coin count towards the points when touched in game if the points are under player.

Why are you using in pairs if you want it to award just the player who touches it?

I don't understand why you're using in pairs when you are just trying to award it to the player who touches it. 

script.Parent.Coin.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --wherever the part is
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	local points = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Points --index where the leaderstat is stored
	points.Value = points.Value + 10 --award 10 points to the player
end)

Note: I am writing this from scratch so if it doesn't work please let me now, if it did however please accept my answer if this helped!

Please ignore the in pairs my bad I was tired at the time of writing this. Thank you for your response. My main issue is I have the points stored under the player it is private and not part of the leaderstat. I have a GUI the reflect the points value for each player instead. The coin is sitting in workspace and i have a main script for the game under ServerScriptService. I have a defined functi
