Coins per minute

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there.

How do I add a part to this script that will give me 5 coins every minute?

Here’s the script :

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local moneyStore = DS:GetDataStore("Coins")
local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.GiveCurrency

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

	local moneyValue
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		moneyValue = moneyStore:GetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
	end)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Coins"
	money.Parent = leaderstats	
	
	if success then
		money.Value = moneyValue
	else
		print("Failed to load data")
	end
end)

local function save(player)
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		moneyStore:SetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
	end)
	if success then
		print("Saved data")
	else
		print("Failed to load data")
	end
end

local function autosave()
	while wait(5) do
		for i, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
			save(player)
		end
	end
end

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, amount)
	player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += amount
end)

spawn(autosave)

Just insert a while loop to give the Player Coins every 60 seconds inside your PlayerAdded event

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

	local moneyValue
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		moneyValue = moneyStore:GetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
	end)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Coins"
	money.Parent = leaderstats	
	
	if success then
		money.Value = moneyValue
	else
		print("Failed to load data")
	end

    while Player do
        wait(60)
        money.Value += 5
    end
end)

(No don’t replace this with your entire script)

#3

Where do I add this? if possible, could you send me the whole script, please?

#4

Just replace that with your PlayerAdded event, it should work just fine

(You should know what a PlayerAdded event is right?)

#5

uh, not really, I’m not the greatest at scripting…

#6

Oh wait, I see it, let me see if this right.

#7 
local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local moneyStore = DS:GetDataStore("Coins")
local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.GiveCurrency

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

	local moneyValue
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		moneyValue = moneyStore:GetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
	end)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Coins"
	money.Parent = leaderstats	
	
	if success then
		money.Value = moneyValue
	else
		print("Failed to load data")
	end

    while Player do
        wait(60)
        money.Value += 5
    end
end)

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, amount)
	player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += amount
end)

spawn(autosave)

Is this right?

Not to be rude or anything but I do recommend looking on how you can learn to script, search Youtube videos if you have to :slightly_smiling_face:

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local moneyStore = DS:GetDataStore("Coins")
local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.GiveCurrency

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

	local moneyValue
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		moneyValue = moneyStore:GetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
	end)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Coins"
	money.Parent = leaderstats	
	
	if success then
		money.Value = moneyValue
	else
		print("Failed to load data")
	end

    while Player do
        wait(60)
        money.Value += 5
    end
end)

local function save(player)
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		moneyStore:SetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
	end)
	if success then
		print("Saved data")
	else
		print("Failed to load data")
	end
end

local function autosave()
	while wait(5) do
		for i, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
			save(player)
		end
	end
end

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, amount)
	player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += amount
end)

I don’t want to be rude but then how did you make that script? (Or was it a YouTube video that you copy and pasted the tutorials source code from…?)

#10

Wouldn’t you actually want to use tick instead of wait because I’ve heard using wait is unreliable. You would save the tick and then if the current tick - saved tick >= 300 or something like that.

#11

I used a Youtube Video to help me, and I couldn’t do it myself.

#12

It’s only unreliable if you use it so much in such a short span of time, which is why we use RunService’s Events such as RenderStepped, Stepped, Heartbeat, and etc

I don’t think it would matter anyways if we’re only giving Coins to the Player every close to 60 seconds
