Part that gives points doesn't work properly?

Asked 414 views3 answers

Hello, So I'm trying to make a part that gives you points when you touch it and it has a cooldown. The part's size is the size of an ocean and when I jump into the ocean it gives me only 1 point and when I jump again it gives me 1 points, So it just gives me points when I jump into the ocean and when I'm jumping in the ocean.

I tried doing it in a server script and it does the same thing.

Local Script (Inside PlayerGui):

local Part = game.Workspace.Part

Part.Touched:Connect(function()
	if Debounce == false then
		Debounce = true
		wait(1)
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Points.Value = 	script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Points.Value + 1
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

I would really appreciate it if you will help me with my problem, Plus I'll accept your answer.

Thanks, MajinBluee

Did you say that it doesn't work at all? You need to be more clear please because I thought you meant that it doesn't work the way you want it to work.

This should be handled on the server.

Using script.Parents to get a player is a bad practice if you are using a local script you need to use LocalPlayer to get player. If this script doesn't work, you might have to use ServerSided script inside a part!

Fix to your LocalScript:

local Part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part") -- Name of your part
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Debounce = false -- Prevents a ton of hits at once
local leaderstats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local PointsToAdd = 1 --  Points to be added when part touched
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wait(0.1)

Part.Touched:Connect(function()

	wait()
    if not Debounce then

        Debounce = true

        wait(1)
       	leaderstats.Points.Value = leaderstats.Points.Value + PointsToAdd

    end

	Debounce = false

end)

Put this inside a part:

-- Dont put this inside an LocalScript!
-- Put in "Normal" script

local Debounce = false

local PointsToAdd = 1

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	if not Debounce then
		Debounce = true

		hit.Parent:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Points.Value = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Points.Value + PointsToAdd

		wait(0.25)

	end

	wait(0.5)

	Debounce = false
end)

See what works for you! Hope that I've helped you!

Put this server script in the part


local PARTCOLOR = 0,255,0 --PUT PART COLOR HERE

local part = script.Parent
local red = 255,0,0

function onTouched(hit)
if part.BrickColor ~= red then
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    local point = plr.leaderstats.Points
        
    point.Value = point.Value + 1
    part.BrickColor = Color3.new(255,0,0)
else
    wait(3)
    part.BrickColor = PARTCOLOR
end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
