How do I access setting in player?
when a player joins the game the game inserts a folder with a bool value: "hasvoted",
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local settings = Instance.new("Folder",player)
settings.Name = "Settings"
local afk = Instance.new("BoolValue",settings)
afk.Name = "hasvoted"
end)
now, whenever a player touches a part (to vote) how to I access this to check if he has or has not? this is my code so far, but it does not work:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent) then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent)
if player.Settings.hasvoted == false then
print("Player Voted.")
elseif player.Settings.hasvoted == true then
reply.Text = "You have already voted for an event!"
end
end
end)

You're comparing the object hasvoted with a bool value, but you're wanting to compare its value to it.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent) then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent)
if player.Settings.hasvoted.Value == false then
print("Player Voted.")
elseif player.Settings.hasvoted.Value == true then
reply.Text = "You have already voted for an event!"
end
end
end)

Also keep in mind your "p" variable refers to the brick that touched the script's Parent, which doesn't necessarily belongs to a player's Character. Consider revising line 2. Le_Teapots 913 — 6y
