[SOLVED!] Why does my points-per-second go up as players swim?
Hey everyone!
So, I've been doing some things, and I just can't break this bug.
Basically, in my game, players swim to gain points, which can be used to purchase boosters/buffs. However, when players swim for a while, this will happen:
For, let's say ten seconds, the points-per-second is normal, at 10. At 10 seconds and later, it will go up by a large amount each second.
My partner was AFKing in-game when he came back to see he'd made four million points. This is insanely large, and I don't want it to do that.
Script:
01 | function Starter.GainWaterPoints(level) |
02 | local debounce = false |
03 | while script.Parent.InPool.Value == true do |
04 | if debounce == false then |
05 | game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Owner.Value).leaderstats["Water Points"].Value = (game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Owner.Value).leaderstats["Water Points"].Value + math.floor(game.ReplicatedStorage.WaterPointsSettings.WaterPointsPerSecond.Value * game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Owner.Value).HiddenStats.Boost.Value)) * level |
06 | debounce = true |
07 | wait(1) |
08 | debounce = false |
09 | end |
10 | wait(1) |
11 | end |
12 | end |
Any help is appreciated!

Found the issue.
If you look in my script, you'll find this line of code:
1 | game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Owner.Value).leaderstats["Water Points"].Value = (game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Owner.Value).leaderstats["Water Points"].Value + math.floor(game.ReplicatedStorage.WaterPointsSettings.WaterPointsPerSecond.Value * game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Owner.Value).HiddenStats.Boost.Value)) * level |
I was actually multiplying the player's current points value as well as the boost multiplier. :)
