How do you increase the leaderboard?

Asked 958 views1 answers

I have made a leaderboard, but I don't know how to increase it. I want to make it so when you collide with a part, it destroys the part and gives you the value this is my code so far: script in serverscriptservice

local function onPlayerJoin(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
 

	local gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
	gold.Name = "Gold"
	gold.Value = 0
	gold.Parent = leaderstats
	
end
 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)

script inside of part:

script.parent.Touched:connect(function(Player)
	    script.parent:destroy() 
	    Player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = Player.leaderstats.Gold.Value + 1
	end)

when I run it, it says leaderstats is not a valid member of Part What do I do?

Ok, first of all, the parameter for the Touched event is the object that hit it, not the player you'd have to check if the thing that touched it has a humanoid, and if it does, then it's either an npc or a player's character. Now, you have to check if it's an actual player, so you use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter() to get the actual player.

local reward = 20

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hitObject)
	local humanoid = hitObject.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitObject.Parent)
		if player then
			if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
				player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = player.leaderstats.Gold.Value + reward
			end
		end
	end
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

Also, :connect, and :destroy() are deprecated

remove is deprecated, destroy is not. :Destroy() is the correct usage.

@blockmask, you have a typo on line 3, it should be script.Parent, not script.parent
