game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local money = Instance.new("IntValue", game.Players.LocalPlayer)
money.Value = 50
end)
I can't seem to figure out why this isn't working, maybe I need to user leaderstats? But I didn't think that was needed as I just need a singular intvalue to define how much money the user currently has.
Well, here it is hope this helps.
First off, a server script can't access the LocalPlayer object. Also that's not a good way to go about doing this.
I'm also adding DataStore for you so it saves it! You're welcome! XD
So do this in a Server script
local startingCashValue = 0 -- Set this to what you want the player to start out with
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1 = DataStore:GetDataStore("MoneyDataStore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local leader = Instance.new("Folder")
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
leader.Name = "leaderstats"
leader.Parent = plr
cash.Name = "Money"
cash.Parent = leader
cash.Value = ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId) or startingCashValue
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
print("Saving Data For "..player.Name.."..")
ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Points.Value)
print("Data For "..player.Name.." has been saved!")
end)
It still seems to not work, it isn't creating the leaderstats or the intvalue.
Hmm, that's odd my script is working on my end..
If this is a normal script you cannot use game.Players.LocalPlayer
But that is okay because when you set up
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
you made the parameter plr
you can just do this instead
local money = Instance.new("IntValue", plr) -- use plr here
money.Value = 50
Also note that the parent argument in Instance.new can cause performance issues. Set the parent separately. (See https://devforum.roblox.com/t/psa-dont-use-instance-new-with-parent-argument/30296)
I was using a LocalScript but thank you!
