I’m asking for help on how to do the step counter because

  • I’m new to coding and dont know much
  • I cannot find anything about this topic on youtube or here
    Heres my leaderstat code thats being buggy and kicking me i cannot figure out the problem

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = plr

	local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Money.Name = "Money"
	Money.Parent = leaderstats

	local Steps = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Steps.Name = "Steps"
	Steps.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Parent = leaderstats

	local data

	local success, message = pcall(function()
		data = DataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-Data")
	end)

	if success then
		if data then
			Money.Value = data
		end
	else
		warn(message)
		plr:Kick("Error while retrieving your data.")
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local data = plr.leaderstats["Money"].Value

	local success, message = pcall(function()
		DataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-Data", data)
	end)

	if not success then
		warn(message)
	end
end)

this is a screenshot of the problem (leaderstats)

Do you think you can help with step counter?

#5

like when you move it goes up (the leaderstat)

#6

You would need to check the humanoid state by using GetState() and checking if the returned value is HumanoidStateType.Running and then adding 1 to the steps value. All in a while loop of some sort

#7

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im confused local script or script how do i do a loop

#8

i have too many questions about it

#9

normal script inside the datastore script

loop: while task.wait() do inside that put the statements about checking the state etc

I could try write it up but currently i’m not home so i’m in mobile which is a pain
