How can I make an Exp multiplier the longer the player is in the game

#1

I have made an exp system with some simple scripting but i want to make something like a multiplier. Thus the longer the players in-game the more exp(leaderstats) the player gets. so 30 minutes x1.2, 1 hour x1.5, and so on. I’ve already tried but my mind got fried in the progress i ended up undoing the mulitplier and asking here on devforum. Any Solutions?

I don’t understand your specific value you’re trying to increase by. But I’ll try

Something like this?

local expMultiplier = {}
--each player in seconds
local time = {}

while task.wait() do
    for q,w in game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() do
        --multiplier is every 30 minutes, increases by 0.2?
        expMultiplier[w] = 0.2*(time[w]/1800)
   end
end

You could just simply make a wrapper function which adds exp to players and multiplies it by their multiplier value which increases every X amount of time and adds them Y amount of multiplier (assuming of course that you have the “boilerplate” leaderstats)

Someting like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local MULTIPLIER_INCREMENT = 1
local MULTIPLIER_TIME = 1

function GiveEXP(player : Player, amount : number)
	local leaderstatsFolder = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")   
	local expEntry = leaderstatsFolder:WaitForChild("EXP")
	local multiplierEntry = leaderstatsFolder:WaitForChild("Multiplier")

	local multiplier = mutliplierEntry.Value
	-- You don't want to reset their exp probably
	if multiplier == 0 then multiplier = 1 end

	expEntry += amount * multiplier
end

coroutine.wrap(function()
	while task.wait(MULTIPLIER_TIME) do
		for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
			local leaderstatsFolder = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")   
			local multiplierEntry = leaderstatsFolder:WaitForChild("Multiplier")
			multiplierEntry.Value += MULTIPLIER_INCREMENT
		end
	end
end)()
