Can someone correct this code?
Okay, so my code is supposed to award the player a player point, destroy the part, wait a minute, then put the part back in its spot. The problem is, it doesent do A SINGLE THING I told it to do. Plz help. Here's my code.
01 | function eggCollect(hit) |
02 |
03 | local db = false |
04 | if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or db then return end |
05 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
06 | if player then |
07 | db = true |
08 | PointsService:AwardPoints(player.userId, 1) |
09 | db = false |
10 | print 'Player points awarded' |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | script.Parent:Destroy() |
14 | wait(60) |
15 | script.Parent:Clone() |
16 |
17 | end |
18 |
19 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch) |

There isn't anything wrong with your code. It's just that there are two functions, but you only have one. You need to make a function hit, and a function award points. Since you tried to combine two functions into one, it's not working.
01 | `-- declare service |
02 | local PointsService = Game:GetService("PointsService") |
03 |
04 | -- Bind function to player added event |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
06 | -- Get total number of points the game has available |
07 | local pointsToAward = PointsService:GetAwardablePoints() |
08 | -- Get total number of points this game has already awarded to the player |
09 | local universeBalance = PointsService:GetGamePointBalance(player.userId) |
10 | -- Check if the game has points to award and if the player hasn't gotten any points yet. |
11 | -- If both are true, then give the player a point. |
12 | if ( pointsToAward > 0 and universeBalance == 0) then |
13 | -- pcall here, as AwardPoints *will throw an error* if another server has awarded the |
14 | -- points that were available between us checking how many were available and |
15 | -- us actually awarding the points. There is currently no way to avoid this pcall, |

May I point out
1 | script.Parent:Destroy() |
2 | wait(60) |
3 | script.Parent:Clone() |
You need to make this an external script because you destroy the parent which destroys the children too. The script stops running from there
