This is a Cash, KO, WO leaderboard

-- Start leaderboard
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
 
 -- Make leaderstats
 local leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
 leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
 
 local money = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
 money.Name = "Cash"
 money.Value = 100
 
 local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
 deaths.Name = "Deaths"
 deaths.Value = 0
 
 local kills = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
 kills.Name = "Kills"
 kills.Value = 0
 
 
 
 -- Do stuff
 while true do
  money.Value = money.Value + 1
  wait(1)
 end
 
 player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
     deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
   end)
end)

That while true do loop never exits, so the function beneath it is never reached and therefore never connected.

Just move the loop to the bottom of the function and you're fine. :P

That what this fixes. The functions that manages the deaths never connects because the loop is initiated before it. Move the loop to BELOW that function.

It also stops the Money from +1

I recommend using a coroutine.

AnonymousJul 12, 2014#

Are you putting the loop inside of the Humanoid.Died function, or below? It has to be below it, inside of the final end)

I put it isnide the final end), also I don't know how to script a coroutine I've been wanting to knwo what it is.

As stated by adark, you should use a coroutine.

-- Start leaderboard
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)

 -- Make leaderstats
 local leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
 leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

 local money = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
 money.Name = "Cash"
 money.Value = 100

 local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
 deaths.Name = "Deaths"
 deaths.Value = 0

 local kills = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
 kills.Name = "Kills"
 kills.Value = 0



 -- Do stuff
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
 while true do
  money.Value = money.Value + 1
  wait(1)
 end
end))

 player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
     deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
   end)
end)

 end

local deadnow = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health
     if deadnow == 0 then
     deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
   end)
end)
