How would I validate that this amount of time has passed?

So, I have a localscript that is added to the localplayer when they join and it waits 60 seconds then it fires a event and that event triggers a script to change the player's leaderstats... Edit: (this is looped by the way, it constantly waits 60 seconds then fires the event and then changes the player's leaderstats)

But the problem is that how do I check if 60 seconds have passed or not? Because if I can't check if 60 seconds have passed then exploiters can continuously fire my event and keep getting points... I want to stop them from being able to get a point if 60 seconds has not passed.

(Also next time. Please post your code.)

On the server side of things do something like this

game.Players.PlayerJoined:connect(function(plr)
	local seconds = 0
	
	while wait(1) do -- This will add seconds.
		if seconds == 60 then -- This will make it skip over the adding part.
			seconds = seconds + 1
		end
	end
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(p,arugments)
		if plr == p and seconds == 60 then
			-- Add coins!!
			seconds = 0 -- This resets it back to 0 so you must wait another 60 seconds!
		end
	end)
end)

So every-time someone sends the event it checks if 60 seconds have passed. If you wanted this per player just put that code in game.Players.PlayerJoined:connect(function() and in the event check if the plr from the event is the plr that joined.

If this helped you please mark it as correct! Have a nice day! c:

use server scripts since exploiters cant mess with them and there is no point of using local scripts for that

local seconds = 60 -- amount of seconds needed to wait before the coins are given
local added = 1 -- amount of coins added
game:GetService'Players'.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	while wait(seconds) do
		plr.leaderstats.Coins.Value = plr.leaderstats.Coins.Value + added --adds the coins
	end
end)
