Do you have Discord account so we can maybe communicate there if you wish?
Where are you creating the stats initially? That’s the part I need to see.
It’s creating in Server Scripting Service
Can you send me that script? I can show you how it’s done.

Change the script you sent me to the one on top, and make another script for testing with the code from the second example. Tell me if it updates.

The second script should be in a loop?
Don’t loop it yet. This is just for testing.
You are a legend! Working! Thank you so much. How should I put it in a loop now?
Well first, remove the print from :OnUpdate, and second, you can try this.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStore2 = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
local WAIT_TIME = 1 -- The time between each payout.
local INCREMENT_AMOUNT = 10 -- How much they are awarded.
while true do
wait(WAIT_TIME)
for _, Player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
local CashData = DataStore2("Cash", Player)
CashData:Increment(INCREMENT_AMOUNT)
end
end
Seems to be working fine!
For time script, I will do the same.
For Rebirths, I will also do an event on click.
For stages, which increase when you touch them.
Should I put that function in all stages? And if so, I wouldn’t use increment but set so it’s always 100% which stage will be set.
Is there also another way to do it, not in each stage?
EDIT: I’ll actually put it in each stage.
- That would work.
- Also works.
- For stages, if they’re like an obby stage, do something like the script below.
- You can use CollectionService and the Tag Editor plugin.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local DataStore2 = require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
local function TouchedFenv(StageObject)
local Stage
local StageNameIsStage = tonumber(StageObject.Name)
if StageNameIsStage then
Stage = StageNameIsStage
else
-- Stage is a IntValue or something.
if StageObject:FindFirstChild("Stage") then
Stage = StageObject.Stage.Value
end
end
if type(Stage) ~= "number" then
warn("No stage, cannot setup properly.")
return function() end
else
return function(Hit)
local Character = Hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if Character then
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if Humanoid and Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
if Player then
local StageStore = DataStore2("Stage", Player)
StageStore:Set(Stage) -- Make sure you setup :OnUpdate!
end
end
end
end
end
end
for _, StageObject in ipairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("Stages")) do
StageObject.Touched:Connect(TouchedFenv(StageObject))
end
Should that be in each stage in game because I already have some script that changes stage anyway? I just need to add like 4 lines of code to change data value and will use Set instead of Increment
You can just do something like
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local DataStore2 = require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
local STAGE_VALUE = 1
local function Touched(Hit)
local Character = Hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if Character then
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if Humanoid and Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
if Player then
local StageStore = DataStore2("Stage", Player)
StageStore:Set(STAGE_VALUE) -- Make sure you setup :OnUpdate!
end
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touched)

I have something similar to that. It also checks that player isn’t already above that stage.
Also, does PlayerAdded event works for each player separately?
And how would I change value manually? Basically, in Explorer or in-game with admin.
What do you mean?
You have to require the DataStore2 module in the command line (be it in Studio’s or the in-game one) and you could increment it there, but I’m not sure.
I mean, each PlayerAdded event is like spawn() event?
It should fire for every player that joins, unless it has a bunch of code that yields before it gets to the connecting part.
Yeah xD, but it has core and runs for each player separately during whole game?
