How can i make this script find the player who activated the tool?
local clickable = true
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function(plr)
if clickable then
clickable = false
plr.leaderstats.Money.Value = plr.leaderstats.Money.Value + 5
plr.leaderstats.Total.Value = plr.leaderstats.Total.Value + 1
wait(5)
clickable = true
end
end)
Try using game.Players.LocalPlayer? I have added a print to find the player. Basically it just finds the player name and prints it by printing plr.Name
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY: "How can i make this script find the player who activated the tool?" so I have made it print the username. And made a script you can work off.
eg.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local clickable = true
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if clickable then
clickable = false
plr.leaderstats.Money.Value = plr.leaderstats.Money.Value + 5
plr.leaderstats.Total.Value = plr.leaderstats.Total.Value + 1
print (plr.Name) --find him lol
wait(5)
clickable = true
end
end)
or work off this
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local clickable = true
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if clickable then
clickable = false
plr.leaderstats.Money.Value = plr.leaderstats.Money.Value + 5
plr.leaderstats.Total.Value = plr.leaderstats.Total.Value + 1
local playerwhodidit = plr.Name --work off this
wait(5)
clickable = true
end
end)
tool.Activated does not give you the player that activated the tool. But as already suggested by gioni01 you can get the player from the character, with the :GetPlayerFromCharacter() method of the Players service.
local clickable = true
local tool = script.Parent -- variable for the tool
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)
if clickable then
clickable = false
plr.leaderstats.Money.Value = plr.leaderstats.Money.Value + 5
plr.leaderstats.Total.Value = plr.leaderstats.Total.Value + 1
wait(5)
clickable = true
end
end)
tool.Parent is the character model since when a tool is equipped it is parented to the character.
