Death counter only works for 1 player in the server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#3

Im actually running it on a script with data store in it which i didn’t include it in for some reason

#4

I’m pretty sure this is happening because you dont make the death value inside of the player like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local deaths = player.leaderstats.Deaths
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
deaths.Value += 1
end)
end)
end)
#5

I already assigned the variable called “deaths” look

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local Deaths = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	Deaths.Name = "Deaths"	
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
			Deaths.Value += 1
			game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerOofs.Value += 1
		end)
	end)
#6

try it without the “WaitForChild” for the humanoid.

#7

That basically works the same with WaitForChild the death counter only works for 1 player in the server

#8

I am assuming you haven’t tried this one?


local counter = 0
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    counter = counter + 1
end)

Is it a script or local script?

#10

I’m assuming it would be a script.

#11

+= does not work in Lua. Instead, do:

Deaths.Value = Deaths.Value + 1
game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerOofs.Value = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerOofs.Value + 1
#12

This is luau, not lua. There are some differences between them including this one.

#13

Totally agreed on that. Tell me if it works.

#14

It does work in lua since the death counter works but only for 1 player try this script for proof

local counter = 0 --Make a variable called counter
while wait(5) do --Make a loop
    counter += 1 --Increase the variable called counter by 1 by using +=
    print(counter) --Print the counter variable's value
end
#15

Whoops, looks like I was incorrect.

#16

But is there any solution to make it work for other players whatsoever

#17

I just tried your script, and it worked perfectly without any errors. Maybe another script is causing the issue?

#18

Did you try with 2 players? And instead of only resetting them make them fall off the map

#19

I tried it with 3 players, and it still works when they fall off. If it still doesn’t work for you, try using Player.CharacterRemoved instead of Humanoid.Died.

#20

Have you tried putting prints under PlayerAdded and CharacterAdded and Died to see if they are firing at all when the player dies?

#21

It does fire but only works for 1 player

#22

Are you testing this in studio or in a published place? It’s possible that when you are testing it with 1 player, PlayerAdded isn’t connected before the player loads in.
