Hello, I was wondering how I could give a player points on the server when they touch a part? Thanks for helping,

Hey!
You can make Click Detector then you’ll need to insert script then make click function that will give you + 1 point or what ever. If you need code dm me (smarsh1#4462).

Bye!

No I mean when a player touches a part with a body part.

#4

Then you’ll need to make on touch function!

This might help: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/BasePart/Touched

So would this be the code.

Workspace.GivePoints.Touched.OnServerEvent:Connect(function)
game.ReplicatedStorage.GivePoints:FireServer()
#7

The code could look something like this on the server:

BasePart.Touched:Connect(function()
    PlayerPoints = PlayerPoints + 1
end)
#9

Is that full code?

yes that is full code

Make touch function if touched then you reference leaderstats + 1

#12

The thing is i’m giving them on the server.

#13

That shouldn’t be an issue. I recommend using DataStoreService to store data.

I am on mobile, so apologies if I write something incorrectly. I see some stuff that are incorrect.

For one, the Touched event can be on the server instead of the client.

For two, the Touched event doesn’t have a OnServerEvent, so you can remove that and go straight to connect.

So it should look something like this (on the server):

workspace:WaitForChild("GivePoints").Touched:connect(function(Hit)
    -- Do Stuff
end)

If you want to get the player, you can do local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent), and if it isn’t nil, then it’s the player that touched it.

Where should the script be located? And what type of script should it be?

#16

It should be a normal script and be located either in ServerScriptService or under the part. If it is under the part, then you can use script.Parent.Touched instead. It should not be a local script.

In short, anywhere that a normal script can run on.

#17

This is the basic approach, but there is an issue. If this isn’t a local script, then there is no way that PlayerPoints can be referenced since you do not fetch the player.

#18

I made a regular script and put it in the part and changed it to script.Parent.Touched and then moved it to ServerScriptService and then changed it to the original code and nothing worked.

#19

No no. The part should be in the workspace. The script is in different locations. Put the script under the part if you use script.Parent.Touched.

#20

Yes, it was just an example script.

#21

Yes this is the code I used before and it didn’t work

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
   	game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Pong.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Pong.Value + 15
end)

And it says attempt to call index nil with leaderstats
