Any way to make rocket launcher kills count towards leaderboard

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

For some reason when I kill someone with the rocket launcher in the game (the regular one you can find on the official Roblox account) it doesn’t seem to make the kill count on the leader board go up

Is there a way I could make them count?

Roblox kill leaderboard for projectiles
#2

The Rocket Launcher may not insert a CreatorTag upon the Target upon impact, & there has to be a function for when a Character specifically dies to check for that said CreatorTag to properly increase the Player’s Kills by +1

A script would be handy to see regardless

#3

it is true,roblox rocket launcher doesnt have creatortag making so it doesnt kill count

#4

I mean, I creates a creator value (thats empty) and this is the leaderboard script used, I don’t know if this was the one you wanted or not.


local Template = Instance.new 'BoolValue'
Template.Name = 'leaderstats'

Instance.new('IntValue', Template).Name = "Kills"
Instance.new('IntValue', Template).Name = "Deaths"


Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
	wait(1)
	local Stats = Template:Clone()
	Stats.Parent = Player
	local Deaths = Stats.Deaths
	Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
		Deaths.Value = Deaths.Value + 1
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild "Humanoid"
		if Humanoid then
			Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
				for i, Child in pairs(Humanoid:GetChildren()) do
					if Child:IsA('ObjectValue') and Child.Value and Child.Value:IsA('Player') then
						local Killer = Child.Value
						if Killer:FindFirstChild 'leaderstats' and Killer.leaderstats:FindFirstChild "Kills" then
							local Kills = Killer.leaderstats.Kills
							Kills.Value = Kills.Value + 1
						end
						return 
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end)
end)

Try this?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function AddPlr(Plr)
    local Stats = Instance.new("Folder")
    Stats.Name = "leaderstats"
    Stats.Parent = Plr

    local Kills = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Kills.Name = "Kills"  
    Kills.Parent = Template

    local Deaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Deaths.Name = "Deaths"
    Deaths.Parent = Template

    print("Stats created for Player", Plr)

    Plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Chr)
        local Humanoid = Chr:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

        Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
            Deaths.Value += 1
            for _, Object in pairs(Humanoid:GetChildren()) do
                if Object:IsA("ObjectValue") and Object.Value and Object.Value:IsA("Player") then
                    local Killer = Object.Value

                    if Killer:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and Killer.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills") then
                        print(Chr.Name,"died! The victim who killed him:", Killer)
                        Killer.leaderstats.Kills.Value += 1
                    end
                end
            end
        end)
    end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(AddPlr)

actually looked more into it there is a creator tag in the rocket launcher

it can be found in server script of the rocket launcher it looks like this just doesn’t seem to really work

	creatorTag.Value = MyPlayer
	creatorTag.Name = 'creator' --NOTE: Must be called 'creator' for website stats
	local iconTag = Instance.new('StringValue', creatorTag)
	iconTag.Value = Tool.TextureId
	iconTag.Name = 'icon'
#7

Where is the creatorTag being Parented to exactly? That should be Parented last after you define your properties and such

#8

the rocket (not the launcher) itself

#9

there should be a script that will be cloned to the rocket, simply check if player’s health is <= to the damage, if yes then add towards the player’s kill

#10

You could make a value within the rocket instance and fill the value with the player’s name (the player that has the rocket launcher in their hand). If the rocket touches something with a humanoid in it, it can count that kill.

--this code would be within the rocket itself
instance.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
            -- counting the kill to leaderstats code (via the player value)
        end
        --exploding code
end)
