Give points for kill

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I don’t know how to give a player points (leaderstats, not PointsService) when they kill another player, can someone show me how this is done?

I can provide weapon scripts if you need!
Thank you!

Can you provide the weapon script?

#3

Their at countless YouTube tutorial and devforum posts on this. Please look it up before making a post.

I’ll list what you need:

1-Add a creator tag in the humanoid when they die. (Make it reference the player that killed them)
2-When the player dies get the creator tag, get the value (that is the player that killed them) then add points to that player

Here is my weapon script:

local tool = script.Parent
local canDamage = false
local dmg = script.Parent.Damage.Value

local function onTouch(otherPart)	
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid then 
		return 
	end
	
	if humanoid.Parent ~= tool.Parent and canDamage then 
		humanoid:TakeDamage(dmg)
		script.Parent.Sound:Play()
	else
		return
	end
	
	canDamage = false
end



local function slash()
	local str = Instance.new("StringValue")
	str.Name = "toolanim"
	str.Value = "Slash" 
	str.Parent = tool
	canDamage = true
end

tool.Activated:Connect(slash)
tool.DMG.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Is this a localscript or a normal script? (nvm wow I see takedamage)

#6

Normal script

This text will be blurred

#7

You can get the tools parent which is the character and you can get their name and reference their leaderstats and change it through this script.

#8

But how would I detect if they got a kill?

#9

You could check the humanoid’s health and if it is <= 0 then you can give them credit for it

#10

Hmm, ok! But can you provide the edited weapon script?

#11

I don’t know because I can’t test but here is what I think should work:

local tool = script.Parent
local canDamage = false
local dmg = script.Parent.Damage.Value

local function onTouch(otherPart)	
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid then 
		return 
	end
	
	if humanoid.Parent ~= tool.Parent and canDamage then 
		humanoid:TakeDamage(dmg)
		script.Parent.Sound:Play()
                if humanoid.Health <= 0 then
                        Game.Players:WaitForChild(tool.Parent.Name).leaderstats.points += 100
                end
	else
		return
	end
	
	canDamage = false
end



local function slash()
	local str = Instance.new("StringValue")
	str.Name = "toolanim"
	str.Value = "Slash" 
	str.Parent = tool
	canDamage = true
end

tool.Activated:Connect(slash)
tool.DMG.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
