How to make a chest with an increasing prize?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello.
I have a chest in the game that is quite difficult to get to. how do I make a script that will increase the prize every second until someone gets to the chest? and after touching it, the prize is reset to 0 and starts to grow again until someone takes it away.

Your request is very basic. I’d suggest looking into some scripting tutorials and playing with lua code a bit. The dev forums can help you with complicated problems, but isn’t really here to walk you through your learning process.

…

local chest = workspace.Chest
local prize = 0

function openChest(player)
	print('Award', player, prize)
	prize = 0
end

chest.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent then
		local player = game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player then
			openChest(player)
		end
	end
end)


while true do
	wait(1)
	prize = prize + 1
end

local chest = script.Parent --assuming the chest is a single part or the prize awarding is done from a single part of some chest model
local debounce = false
local prize = 0

chest.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if debounce then --debounce adds a cooldown
		return
	end
	
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		debounce = true
		player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += prize
		prize = 0
		hit.Parent:BreakJoints() --kills the player so they cant claim the prize again
	end
	task.wait(10) --cooldown before prize can be claimed again
	debounce = false
end)

while task.wait(1) do
	prize += 1
end

If you have a leaderstats with a stat named “Coins” this will increase the value of coins by the current prize. Feel free to swap the stat “Coins” for a different stat name if the stat uses a different name.
