How to calculate a lot of values

Oh, no. Its more like you deal 100 dm and the other user has 10 dev than you deal 90 dm instead of 100

#13

How do you get // caculate the damage?

#14

Its just a value in a table (thats not where i am stuck)

#15

So then top damage minus least damage is what your telling me
(anticipation)

#16

Yeah but i want to get the stats, but how should i do that? ( Basicly thats the question) and do this 10x over to calculate the damige (use 10 different stats, like how tired you are and things like that)

#17

Like should i use events, to tell the script when to calculate something, and where should i store my data?

#18

Its pretty simple.

local stats = {
    ["Synitx"] = {Damage = 100},
    ["ROBLOX"] = {Damage = 10}
}

local roblox = game.Players.ROBLOX
local formula = (stats.Synitx.Damage - stats.ROBLOX.Damage)
roblox.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(formula)
#19

Yeah this is kinda what i want but when can i see if the damige changes? Also thx. ( Like you equip new sword)

#20

Your stats is in table I suppose?
I prefer you to make damage a number value for every player in leaderstats.
You can use

NumberValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
      print('number value changed')
end)
#21

Well, i could do it, but in my game, i would require to make 50+ values per person, and i just want to make it in a table (its eazier to read), and when you get more points, the table changes/updates.

#22

Also you can get changed instance with parameter [maybe]

NumberValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function(Instance)
      print('number value changed')
end)
#23

Then you can created .Changed function for your table, using metatables.
You can see the tutorial below to get the detailed explaination.

local Table = {}

-- if you want change table, do like this

table.insert(Table, 100) -- Value

-- Also do you want to remove

table.remove(Table, 1) -- Position of value. If table is {100, 200, 300} and want to remove 300 do table.remove(Table, 3)
#25

The better way removing item from table is.

local index = table.find(Table,"ItemToFindAndRemove")
table.remove(Table, index)

Also they want to detect whenever the table is “changed” just like instances have .Changed function.

Changing the table is not my problem

Let me rewrite the question

#27

This is my problem “Should i use events, to tell the script when to calculate something, and where should i store my data?” First problem solved!

#28

Seems like a good use case for attributes.

#29

How should i use this? Give this to the player humanoid?

Also cant hackers see other player stats ass well? Thats a huge problem in my game

#30

Depends, if they need to be reset each time the player’s character is spawned then the player’s character should store the attributes, if they need to persist for a player’s entire play session then the player instance itself should store the attributes.

#31

So, what if the values change a lot? ( I do not understand it entirely )
