How to calculate a lot of values

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#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 )

#32

The attribute’s location doesn’t matter if its value is subject to frequent changes.

#33

Ah, but can hackers/exploiters see the sttributes? Thats a big problem in my game.

They can see them but they can’t modify them.

Hmm, thats a big problem. Do you have anything that could work the same, but clients cant them?

#36

Yeah, table values that only exist on the server.
