How to check if player did a obstacle course?

Asked by

So i am doing a game, and i need for it to check, if player did the obstacle course, well, i could use data stores, but it won't be as effective as it needs to.

dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
obbyStore1 = dataStore:GetDataStore("ObbyStore1")

-- and such stuff

Is there any better way?

If the player touches the finish part, you could signal that they have completed it, no? Using that part's Touched event? Or do you aim to do it a different way? DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

You can also increase a number value by 1 at several points on the obby where the player touches a part and then check if the number matches the number it should. This way it is way more difficult to cheat. Azicre 0 — 5y

Assuming the script is in a block that detects if they reached it, your script would be:

dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
obbyStore1 = dataStore:GetDataStore("ObbyStore1")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name)
    if player then
        --check if theyre in the obby datastore
        local hasCompletedObby = obbyStore1:GetAsync(player.UserId)

        --if theyre not in ds/ reward player and add them to the datastore
        if(not hasCompletedObby)then
            --TODO: reward player for completing obby
            obbyStore1:SetAsync(player.UserId)
        end
    end
end)

(this is repeating of commect i posted) Ok thanks, now i know if player already did the obstacle course, but i need to know total amount of obstacle courses, because it's not just 1 obby

dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
obbyStore1 = dataStore:GetDataStore("ObbyStore1")
obbyStore2 = dataStore:GetDataStore("ObbyStore2")
