Script giving points when player joins?

Asked 287 views1 answers

local coinable = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function() if not coinable then coinable = true

	for _,Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") 
	Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value+25
	wait(20)
	coinable = false
	end
end

end)

This is a script intended to give a player 25 points whenever they touch a brick, with a debounce/cooldown time of 20 seconds. In actuality, it gives the player 25 points when joining, and then allows them to touch the brick for points once every 20 seconds.

While your'e at it, if you don't mind explaining "for _,Player in pairs", I'm not familiar with these words and symbols

Here you are.

local coinable = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) --// When touched
	local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") --// If touched by a human
	if h then --// If it is a human
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) --// Gets the player
		if coinable == false then --// Debounce
			coinable = true --// Part is now untouchable
			player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value + 25 --// Gives the cash
			wait(20) --// Waits 20 seconds
			coinable = false --// Part is touchable again
		end
	end
end)

You needed the "hit" as a parameter because it helps with finding what touched it. You also have to find the player and all that before you can activate the debounce. I am not sure why, I am a new programmer as well.

I cant really explain i,v in pairs() very well, but here is the shortest short of it.

i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) if v then (v is the getting players.) (In my experience, you can change i or v to whatever you want.)

Hope some of this helps.
