I need help with a script

PROBLEM: I’m trying to figure out how to make it where when you kill another person you will get coins and with those coins you can get something from the shop.

I have it where you kill someone and you’ll get coins but i don’t no how to get it where you can save the coins and spend them in the shop.

To save the coin across different sessions you need datastores

#3

Use Datastores to save the coins/cash

#4

#5

its clearly teaches you how to do in youtube vids and also the developer.roblox.com

#6

the problem is none of the youtube vids help they all dont work

#7

#8

I suggest you learn Datastore2, its easy to understand and it can prevent from data lost

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
folder.Name = “leaderstats”
local currency1 = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
currency1.Name = “Money”
currency1.Parent = folder

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		local tag = character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
		if tag ~= nil then
			if tag.Value ~= nil then
				currency1.Value = currency1.Value + 10 
			end 
		end
	end)
end)

end)

Could I see a script you currently have?

#11

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
folder.Name = “leaderstats”
local currency1 = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
currency1.Name = “Money”
currency1.Parent = folder

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		local tag = character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
		if tag ~= nil then
			if tag.Value ~= nil then
				currency1.Value = currency1.Value + 10 
			end 
		end
	end)
end)

end)

#12

Could you redo this? Not all of it is in a script format.

#13 
local Datastore=game:GetService('DatastoreService'):GetDataStore('PlayerData')
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
folder.Name = “leaderstats”
local currency1 = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
currency1.Name = “Money”
currency1.Parent = folder
currency1.Value= Datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		local tag = character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
		if tag ~= nil then
			if tag.Value ~= nil then
				currency1.Value = currency1.Value + 10 
			end 
		end
	end)
end) 
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
   Datastore:SetAsync(plr.UserId,player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
   wait(5)
end)

im sorry if it had error cuz im on mobile

#14

where do i put this under or do i add it to my current ?

#15

just replace the current with this

#16

ok. Do i hafto put anything under Replicated Storage

#17

Using :BindToClose to just run wait(5) does nothing. You would want to put your actual saving code here. Also, when replying actually format your code. Your code is super sloppy right now.

#18

can someone help me with this pls

#19

Yes, I would love to help you. Could you send your code to me where it is all formatted? Then I will walk you through this.

#20

ok thank you so much! this ia my code and its all under ServerScriptService

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
folder.Name = “leaderstats”
local currency1 = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
currency1.Name = “Money”
currency1.Parent = folder

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		local tag = character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
		if tag ~= nil then
			if tag.Value ~= nil then
				currency1.Value = currency1.Value + 10 
			end 
		end
	end)
end)
