How to remove part according to leaderstat value?

Asked Sep 23, 2019368 views2 answers

Hello all, I've been trying to get a part to remove according to if a player is a specific level!

Of course, this will need to be done via a LocalScript I believe, as I only want that player to see if they're below the required level, the block, and if above, then it's gone. Now, this is for a sort of teleporter, and there is a image that will be posted ABOVE my code for this.

For better explanation, if unclear, I'd like to remove a part from the Workspace locally. How could I do this? My attempt is below!!

Any and ALL help is appreciated!

Code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local part = script.Parent

if player.leaderstats.xp.Value > 7777 then
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end

Improvements

Use GetService() when retrieving the Players Service

Issues

Your "part" is in the workspace, but LocalScripts cannot be run in the workspace, only server scripts. If you place the LocalScript into the StarterGui and directly name the parentage of the part you are trying to remove, the part should be removed when the player's xp is high enough.

Revised LocalScript

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local xp = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("xp")

local part = workspace:WaitForChild("RemovePart")

local function XPChange()
	if xp.Value > 7777 then
		part:Destroy()
	end
end

xp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(XPChange)
XPChange()

In the above example, the part i am trying to remove is named "RemovePart" and is parented directly under the workspace

I'm not a master scripter and this may not be the best way to do it, but rather than running an infinite loop which is not very practical or speedy, you can use the GetPropertyChangedSignal event. You can alter your script to add it by doing this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local part = script.Parent
 
local function XpChanged()  -- function that checks the player's level
	if player.leaderstats.xp.Value > 7777 then
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end

player.leaderstats.xp:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(XpChanged)  -- If the players Xp amount is changed, this event will fire

What this does is when the "Value" property of player.leaderstats.xp is changed the script will pick that up and fire the event, running the XpChanged function. This still isn't extremely practical because it will run every time the player's Xp is changed, but it's better than running an infinite loop in the background all the time. If there is a better way than this, I would like to know it as well, but this is the only thing I can think of.

This method didn't work either! Thank you for your attempt!
