Why does this script keep awarding 7 points? [ANSWER DIDN'T HELP]
I have a Motorcross game (Fairly popular) and every time someone crosses the finish, it awards 7 points! Not 1! At the rate it's going, it'll run out in 40 races!
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:connect(function(part)
local g = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if part:IsA("Part") and (g) then
pps = game:GetService("PointsService")
if pps:GetAwardablePoints() >= 1 then
pps:AwardPoints(g.userId, 1)
end
script.Parent:remove()
end
end)

Didn't roblox just release the 100x points in each server update? HexC3D 830 — 10y

1 * 100 = 7? Logic... (Oh and * is Times just to let you know if you dodn't before) :P Michael007800 144 — 10y

By the way I already knew "*" is the multiplication operator in Lua, nor is my logic flawed..... HexC3D 830 — 10y

You should add a debounce
debounce=true
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:connect(function(part)
local g = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if debounce==true then
debounce=false
if part:IsA("Part") and (g) then
pps = game:GetService("PointsService")
if pps:GetAwardablePoints() >= 1 then
pps:AwardPoints(g.userId, 1)
end
script.Parent:remove()
end
end)
If it doesn't work, tell me the output in a comment

I thought that debounce should work. Im still looking into it. Tempestatem 884 — 10y

One small thing. It probably isn't related, but remove() has been depricated. While it seems to still be accepted for now, it's best to just use Destroy() instead. deaththerapy 60 — 10y

Yeah :Destroy() is what I use. I voted you up michael, because it seems someone is abusing their power. Tempestatem 884 — 10y

I don't like abusers on scripting helpers to be honest. HexC3D 830 — 10y

I'll try that. I hope it works as at the rate I'm going through points, I have like 20 runs left! Michael007800 144 — 10y

Well, you could always have it, instead of award a point, you can make it print something. So instead of using all the points, it will just print something that you can see in output Tempestatem 884 — 10y
