Help with leaderstats

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

Well, I don’t think it really matters where it goes, as long you can get it working with finding values it should work.

#22

i really apologize but im new the the language Lua

#23

You can’t say just Deaths.Value, you have to say something like player.leaderstats.Deaths.Value.

Don’t worry for that mistake. Many people forget to do that. Even myself!

As well as that, you have to when defining the humanoid you have to say player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and say the Character in upper case and not lower case.

Those were the main things which I saw wrong within the script.

I think then you should not start with doing this on the earliest go as feedback from me. I think you should start with something more basic and not starting with using super hard things such as Datastores. Of course it’s up to you but many people would not do this if they are new. Sorry if I sounded harsh there.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

So, I just revised your script and fixed it, it works now.

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local MyDS = DSS:GetDataStore("myDataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", plr); leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats";
	local kills = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats); kills.Name = "Kills";
	
	local Deaths = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats); Deaths.Name = "Deaths";
	local KillStreak = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats); KillStreak.Name = "killStreak";
	
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		
		humanoid.Died:Connect(function(died)
			Deaths.Value += 1
			KillStreak.Value = 0
			
			local tag = humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
			local killer = tag.Value
			
			if tag and killer then
				killer.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills").Value += 1
				killer:FindFirstChild("killstreak").Value += 1
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

ok so yes it did work but when i kill a zombie it did not do anything

#29

Alright in the zombie you’re most likely to have to make a script to detect when the zombie dies. Then you might be able to get the points to the player.

#30

i have no idea how to do that thats been one of my problems

#31

are you able to help me with that since you help me with the leaderBoard

#32

Yes, of course give me a few minutes working on it.

thank you so much your amazing

#34

Mainly as I said up there. Do not think that you’ll be able to create the next Jailbreak in 1 week or something I believe.

I would also say try to stay dedicated to it and try to google when there is syntax you don’t understand. As well as that. I used to play around with free models and try to learn the scripts within them. The reason why is because then I can learn from that and apply that knowledge somewhere else. Also because many people these days have hard to plan out scripts because they don’t fully understand the syntax.

Hope this helps!
