Add a 24 hour cooldown to picking up coins

[AlexTheEggRat]

Hello. I’m planning on making a coin-collecting system in my game. I want to make it so the player has to wait 24 hours before the coin respawns. The problem is that I don’t want players to bypass this by just rejoining the game. Is there a way to make a wait time continue while the player isn’t in-game?

I believe I need to use DataStores and os.time for this, but I’m not quite sure how I should add it to my script.

I had pretty much no idea how to script this, but here is my attempt.

waitTime = os.time() + 86400
amount = 1

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local timeLeft = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("timeLeft")

local function toHMS(s)
	return ("%02i:%02i:%02i"):format(s/3600, s/60%60, s%60)
end

while true do
	print(toHMS(waitTime - os.time()))
	wait(1)
end

timeLeft:SetAsync(player, waitTime)


function onTouched(part)
	local h = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (h~=nil) then
		local thisplr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
		if (thisplr~=nil) then
			local stats = thisplr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if (stats~=nil) then
				local score = stats:FindFirstChild("Coins")
				if (score~=nil) then
					score.Value = score.Value + amount
				end
			end
		end
		script.Parent.Transparency = 1
		script.Disabled = true
		wait(waitTime)
		script.Parent.Transparency = 0
		script.Disabled = false
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

Thank you.

How to make a Daily Reward System? | Tutorial

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make a daily reward system, ima try to make it as short as possible, really. If something does not work you can always ask me in the replies of this topic or via private message. What do you need? (What skills) You need to know some basic scripting things, that’s it! How are we doing this? We will create a DataStore especially for Daily Reward system that will save the last login time. If a player joins a server, and the last saved time is more …

I’ve tried making it something like this. However, it still doesn’t work.

amount = 1

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local waitTime = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("dailyCoins")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	pcall(function()
		local foundData = waitTime:GetAsync(player.UserId)
		if foundData then
			if tonumber(foundData) < os.time() - 86400 then

				script.Parent.Transparency = 0
				script.Disabled = false

				waitTime:SetAsync(player.UserId,os.time())
			end
		else
			waitTime:SetAsync(player.UserId,os.time())
		end
	end)
end)




function onTouched(part)
	local h = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (h~=nil) then
		local thisplr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
		if (thisplr~=nil) then
			local stats = thisplr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if (stats~=nil) then
				local score = stats:FindFirstChild("Coins")
				if (score~=nil) then
					score.Value = score.Value + amount
				end
			end
		end
		
		script.Parent.Transparency = 1
		script.Disabled = true

	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
