How Would I Make A Level Up System That Unlocks Areas?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi! I’m Dylan :wave:t2:

Recently I have been working on a project, and it involves leveling up, but I’m not good at scripting, so I kinda need some help with it.

Here’s how it would work:

So basically, every 5 minutes you would level up, and every level you earn, you unlock a new area

(So a part Would turn CanCollide off when the player reaches a certain level)

Also if a player rejoins or resets, The levels that that player have gotten to are still there, and the part still has CanCollide turned off.

I don’t really mind if anybody can walk through the part when CanCollide is turned off, as the game that i’m making is only going to have a 1 player server

Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

You need to use leaderstats and datastores to get the player’s level. Inside a server script, you can set this up and every 5 minutes add a level to the user.

Then, in a local script, you can use an .onChanged:connect() to detect if the player’s level is changed and then update the area’s doors off of that.

what would i put in the script though? I’m not that good at scripting

#4

the only way to learn is to do it yourself. Googling “level up system in roblox” gives you some good resources for leaderstats and datastores.

#5

I found stuff on how to make it so you get it using coins, but not levels

#6

try that:

server:

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("_GameExperience")
local SaveTable = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player) -- create a leaderstats folder and parent to player
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

    local Level = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats) -- create the leaderstats level and parent to leaderstats
    Level.Name = "Level"

    local data
    local sucess,err = pcall(function()
       data = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
   end)

  SaveTable["Currency"] = nil

  if data then -- if a data exist in the player key
       Level.Value = data["Currency"]
   end

   coroutine.wrap(function()
     while wait(5*60) do -- Every 5 minutes gives 1 level
         player.leaderstats.Level.Value += 1
   end
end)()

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    if player then
       SaveTable["Currency"] = player.leaderstats.Level.Value
      datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId,SaveTable) -- Sets the current level value to key.
  end 
end)

Client(localscript):

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- gets the client player
local Level = player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Level") -- gets the level value
local UnlockLevel = ur unlock level
local door = ur path to door

Connection = Level.Changed:Connect(function(newlevel)
   if newlevel >= UnlockLevel then -- check if player newlevel = UnlockLeveç
      if door.CanCollide then -- Check if the door was not already Open
         door.CanCollide = false  
      else
        Connection:Disconnect()
      end
    else
         print("Levels to Unlock Door:"..(UnlockLevel-newlevel))
   end
end)

how would i make a parent to player or leaderstats?

#8

wdym? the script or something else?

#9

for the first script it says “create a leaderstats folder and parent to player”
and also "create the leaderstats level and parent to leaderstats

What would i do there?

and in the second script it says “ur path to door” what does that mean, what do i replace it with?

sorry if i dont make much sense, im pretty new to scripting

#10

ah lol oops my bad
i mean the script already parented to player or to leaderstats and the “ur path to door” means where is ur area door.

#11

so would i put like, the coordinates of the door?

#12

no where is it in workspace like if u put this script below the area door put “script.Parent”

#13

it just makes the door disappear

#14

the door is anchored right???

#15

yup. I anchored it, then put it inside the script in ServerScriptService

#16

and the client(local script) u put,where?

#17

I put the localscript in NetworkClient

#18

change that for below the area door.

#19

Put the local script in starterplayerscripts

#20

NetworkClient is only responsible for connecting a client to a server i think.
