Help with leaderstat Script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to write a script where if you click a key you get 15 points/xp. Yet it does not work. Could I have some help?


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)

function onKeyPress(actionName, userInputState, inputObject)
		    if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
			        game.leaderstats.XP.Value = 15
			    end
		end
	
	game.ContextActionService:BindAction("keyPress", onKeyPress, false, Enum.KeyCode.Q)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local XP = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	XP.Name = "xp"
end)

Thank you

So too add the Value you have too do this

game.leaderstats.XP.Value = game.leaderstats.XP.Value +15

quick question would i put his script in starter gui as a localscript or a script in serverscritptserves

With this, don’t specify the parent yet.
Specify the name, make sure it’s “leaderstats”
Then you specify the parent.

Server script. This is done in server script.

All it means is that it can’t go through the boundary’s of client/server

You can’t use UserInputService in this case, use a click detector.

i might be wrong but if you use pc you can just use this but make sure u have the service like
@ItzMeZeus_IGotHacked said you need UserInputService or it woun’t work and if ur doing both mobile and pc just use BindToAction(my way of doing it()

function onKeyPress(actionName, userInputState, inputObject)
		    if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState. MouseButton1 then
			        game.leaderstats.XP.Value = 15
			    end
		end

This whole script is corrupted. Here, tru use this.

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

    local points = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
    points.Name = “Points”
    points.Value = 0
    points.Parent = leaderstats
end

For the click detector script, I can’t help you.

For this you need a RemoteEvent.

Create a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage
Create a LocalScript in StarterGui
Create a Script in ServerScriptService
Create a Script in Workspace

Create the leaderboard (Script in Workspace)

function CreateStats(NewPlayer)

local MainStats = Instance.new("IntValue")

MainStats.Name = "leaderstats"

MainStats.Value = 0

local PointsValue = Instance.new("IntValue")

PointsValue.Name = "Points"

PointsValue.Value = 0

PointsValue.Parent = MainStats

MainStats.Parent = NewPlayer

return MainStats

end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(CreateStats)

LocalScript in StarterGui

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") 

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) 
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
		
		local givepoint = rs:FindFirstChild("GivePoint")
		
		givepoint:FireServer()
	end
end)

Regular script in ServerScriptService

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local givepoint = rs:FindFirstChild("GivePoint")

givepoint.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
 player.leaderstats.Points.Value = player.leaderstats.Points.Value + 1	
end)

Hope this works!

You can change W and “Points” to anything, just make sure to change “Points” in all the scripts that have it. (except the RemoteEvent)

Edit: fixed error
