Scripting Helpers is winding down operations and is now read-only. More info→

I used an event, PlayerAdded, to detect when a player joins the game, but it won't work. Why?

I've got this script inside of the part:

01local players = game:GetService("Players")
02local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
03 
04players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
05 
06    print("g")
07 
08    local money = plr.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")
09 
10    plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
11 
12    if script.Parent.Parent == game.Workspace then
13 
14        print("e")
15 
16        money.Value = money.Value + 75
17 
18        wait(7)
19 
20    end
21end)
 View all 21 lines...

So what it does basically - the part is in ServerStorage and when player logs in if they have gamepass part is in workspace so if its in workspace i want to give money every 7 seconds but it doesnt work.

also when player joins "g" doesnt get printed so yeah

I thought it's maybe because scripts dont work in ServerStorage perhaps, but idk, pls help

Scripts don't run in ServerStorage. You need to put the script in ServerScriptService or the workspace for it to run.

Thank you, that worked ^^ Lazarix9 245 — 5y
