This deaths counter won't work??? I need help!!!!!!!!!
I am making a script for my friends obby. It instantly loads the player's character and adds a death (?) to their ? leaderstat. It wont work though.
In the ServerScriptService:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
2 | local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", plr) |
3 | leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" |
4 | local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats) |
5 | deaths.Name = "?" |
6 | end) |
In StarterCharacterScripts:
1 | script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() |
2 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent) |
3 | plr:LoadCharacter() |
4 | local deaths = plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("?").Value |
5 | deaths = deaths + 1 |
6 | print(deaths) -- it won't even print the value of ? |
7 | end) |
EDIT: The "?" is a skull-and-crossbones symbol.

By the way, you should always use names that make it easy to understand what you are working with. User#21908 42 — 6y

The problem lies in the fact that you wrongly assume that the deaths variable is a reference to the actual property of IntValue. If the Value of the IntValue changes, the variables you have defined won't update; only its Value property will change. In order to fix this, you can remove the deaths variable and only make direct accesses to the Value property of the IntValue. You could also modify the variables to hold the IntValue object itself.
1 | script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() |
2 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent) |
3 | plr:LoadCharacter() |
4 | local deaths = plr.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("?")-- set to object |
5 | deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1 -- it works |
6 | print(deaths.Value) -- print the value of ? |
7 | end) |
