Death counter only works for 1 player in the server

It does fire but only works for 1 player

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.

I am testing it in a local server with 2 players it does work when i am testing with 1 player but not in a local server

Do the leaderstats load in when you test it with 1 player?

zaydoudou · September 10, 2020, 9:55pm

The leaderstats does load with 1 player and 2 players

I would try publishing this and testing it in-game rather than in studio. I see nothing wrong with your script so it should work fine if you test it in-game.

I did publish it and after a few days i found out that only 1 player in the server gets a point and others dont and thats when i decided to create this topic

1NSTAN_CE · September 10, 2020, 9:59pm

Do you have this inside of a local script?

zaydoudou · September 10, 2020, 10:00pm

No i have this in ServerScriptStorage and it’s a script not localScript

I don’t see anything wrong except the += which I am unsure if it works on roblox…

Anyways…

Another method is to check on client when they die and fire it to the server, that would probably work, increment from there on…

zaydoudou:

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

Like i said in the quote it does work in lua try this script for proof

If the the leaderstats is loaded in regardless of whether it is a local server or not that means it isn’t an issue where PlayerAdded is connected after the player is loaded in. This doesn’t seem to be intended behavior so he shouldn’t have to go to such lengths.

1NSTAN_CE · September 10, 2020, 10:08pm

I would try putting the script in another place and seeing if that works.

greatneil80 · September 10, 2020, 10:08pm

I mean zay did say that he/she was using datastores with the script, I have no idea what came before that… It’s just an alternative solution

zaydoudou · September 10, 2020, 10:09pm

Im gonna try to test it in my game now

1NSTAN_CE · September 10, 2020, 10:11pm

If it doesn’t work could you possibly provide us your datastore code, that could be interfering with it.

zaydoudou · September 10, 2020, 10:15pm

So the death counter script stopped working cuz i replaced it with CharacterRemoved and kinda broke the checkpoints (yes im making an obby game)

1NSTAN_CE · September 10, 2020, 10:16pm

Have you put CharacterAdded back in and tested it?

BankrollAbd · September 10, 2020, 10:21pm

Try this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		Death.Value = Death.Value + 1
	    game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerOofs.Value = ServerOofs.Value + 1
	end)
end)

Oh and by the way here is proof of someone dying in my game but still not getting a death point(yes i know bad gui)
