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?
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)
Sorry, this is not what i need, i am needing to know if player did the obstacle course, but points won't add if he will reach it again
i updated the post to have the proper answer
this is what i need, but now i need to know how to know total amount of obstacle courses beaten
(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")
i will probably make another question

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?
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.
