Help on Leaderstats

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok so, is really simple, i need to change the leaderstats “Status” everytime the stringValue.Value == “Stop”

The issue: i don’t know how to change the leaderstats, i mean, i know i can do

if things.stringValue.Value == "stop" then
Player.leaderstats.Status.Value = "other"
end

But i don’t know how to get the players by nothing, i only know to do it when a player joins the game or when it touch something

I need something that calls the players so i can change the leaderstats

Hope i explained it right, if not let me know i’ll try adding more info

So you need to check the if statment through all the players inside of the game?

#3

Is stop a variable name or a string?

#4

If I understand correctly, you’re trying to get the player instance from the string value? If that’s the case you can do what you said which is check when they join or touch an object. But if you don’t want to do either of those can you tell me where the things.stringValue object is located?

I’m trying to change the Leaderstats named “Status” everytime the StringValue is equal to “Stop”

I’ll try to explain better:

You join the server and your Leaderstats Status is “Not Qualified” so you start play and win the match, when you win your status become “Qualified” and you can go through another level but during the level there is a timer, i’m using a StringValue for the timer so i can use multiple word + numbers without change and create a mess (for example you will see “Stopping in 10, 9…” and so on until “Stop”) So at the end of the timer i want to change the leaderstats of every player checking them and changing them for example

if Player.LeaderStats.Status.Value == "Qualified" then
print("Good")
Player.LeaderStats.Status.Value = "Not Qualified" --to start another match
--other things..
end

I only don’t know how to get the player and make it work for everyone

If needed i’ll add a gameplay video of the game so will be easier i guess

i also tried to use

game.players.localplayer and so on but didn’t work

#6

my bad i forgot to place the “” , is actually "Stop" , a StringValue value

#7

Alright, you seem new to scripting. This is on a server script right?

Edit:
If this is:
Basically you can iterate through the players by doing

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do
    --v would be a player in this case
end
#8

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer can only be used on client side scripts (localscripts). If you’re writing the if statement inside of the PlayerAdded function then Player is already there. Mind showing us the full code?

Ok so, i’m using those scripts for now, i know i can do better but is still WIP

Timer script 
wait(5)

n = 0
text = script.Parent
repeat
n = n+1
	text.Value = ("Waiting for other players.")
	wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Waiting for other players..")
	wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Waiting for other players...")
	wait(1)
until n == 10


while true do
	Timer = 20	
	text = script.Parent
	
	wait(10)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	for i = 1, #player do
		player[i].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(195, 2, 1))
				player[i].Team = game.Teams.Playing		

	end
	text.Value = ("Starting in 10..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 9..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 8..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 7..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 6..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 5..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 4..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 3..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 2..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("Starting in 1..")
		wait(1)
	text.Value = ("GO!")
		wait(.1)
	
	workspace.Wall.CanCollide = false
	
	repeat
		Timer = Timer -1
		text.Value = ("Stopping in " .. Timer .. " Seconds.")
		wait(1)
	until Timer == 0

	text.Value = ("STOP!") --this is the stop value that starts everything
		workspace.Wall.CanCollide = true

	
local player = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	for i = 1, #player do
		player[i].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(195, 2, 1))
		player[i].Team = game.Teams["Waiting/Spectating"]


end
	wait(5)
	text.Value = ("Next round will start soon...")
end
LeaderStats Creator 
local function onPlayerJoin(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
 
	-- Example of a IntValue	
	local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
	points.Name = "Money"
	points.Value = 0
	points.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Status = Instance.new("StringValue")
	Status.Name = "Status"
	Status.Value = "Not Qualified"
	Status.Parent = leaderstats
	
end 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)
Point Giver 
debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)		
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
				
			player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.StartPlate.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
			player.leaderstats.Status.Value = "Qualified"
			player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value + 10
			player.team = game.Teams["Waiting/Spectating"]
			wait(3)
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

I just need to emulate the Point Giver to change the Status LeaderStats without using a touch part
