Group points script help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Been looking all over youtube and cant seem to find any but how would i be able to give a player an amount of points if there in said group. I have a script that gives you a tool when your in the group but got stuck when trying to trouble shoot with leaderstats instead of tools

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
if player:GetRankInGroup(14822131) >= 1 then
for i, v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren())do
if v:IsA(“Tool”) and v.Name == “TripleRockets” then
v:Destroy()
end
end
for i, v in pairs(character:GetChildren())do
if v:IsA(“Tool”) and v.Name == “TripleRockets” then
v:Destroy()
end
end
local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”)
local tool = game.ServerStorage.TripleRockets
local clonedTool = tool:Clone()
clonedTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)
end)

Sorry i meant to add it but this is the tool script i have

#4

this is a local script or a script?

#5

just a script not a local script

#6

ok, what’s the parent of the script?

#7

Format your script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
if player:GetRankInGroup(14822131) >= 1 then
for i, v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren())do
if v:IsA(“Tool”) and v.Name == “TripleRockets” then
v:Destroy()
end
end
for i, v in pairs(character:GetChildren())do
if v:IsA(“Tool”) and v.Name == “TripleRockets” then
v:Destroy()
end
end
local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”)
local tool = game.ServerStorage.TripleRockets
local clonedTool = tool:Clone()
clonedTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)
end)

Dont have any parents for it. Its just a lone script with that code thats all

#9

Where did you put that script? like ServerScriptService.

#10

drew a blank for a sec but its in my ServerScriptService yes

#11

The scripts needs a parent… where did you put that?

#12

Uh, i mean, don’t get the player with PlayerAdded event in a server script bud

make a local script and put it in the tool and get the player with:

local player = game.Players.Localplayer
#13

Still learning with it but thanks for the extra input with local player

#14

I’ll show you with code wait a minute

#15

Can you try?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if player:IsInGroup(14822131) then
		player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
			for _, v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren())do
				if v:IsA("Tool") and v.Name == "TripleRockets" then
					v:Destroy()
				end
				task.wait()
			end
			for _, v in pairs(character:GetChildren())do
				if v:IsA("Tool") and v.Name == "TripleRockets" then
					v:Destroy()
				end
				task.wait()
			end
			
			local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
			local tool = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("TripleRockets")
			local clonedTool = tool:Clone()
			clonedTool.Parent = player.Backpack
				end)
		end
end)
#16

Put this in ServerScriptService. Not a LocalScript.

#17

This and this is different.

“TripleRockets”

"TripleRockets"

It seems you using unsupported format.

#18

Ok this is how do you make leaderstats:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local Points = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Points.Name = "Points"
	Points.Parent = leaderstats
end)

and this is a little example of what i think that you want:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	player.leaderstats.Points.Value += 5
end)

the first script is a server script in ServerScriptService and the second one, a local script inside the tool.

Don’t get the player in a player added event to use it all the time, more in server scripts, that’s a really bad practice, instead use remotes.

#19

Local script very vulnerable. exploiters can change value.

#20

Are we talking about that?

Also, i said that he can use remotes for more security if he wants
