How to Use LeaderstatModule

  1. Add the Module to Your Game
  • In ServerScriptService, create a new Script.
  • Use the LeaderstatModule to handle player stats.
  1. Add Stats for New Players
  • Use LeaderstatModule.AddStat(player, "StatName", initialValue) to create stats.
  • Replace "StatName" with the name of your stat (like "Cash" or "Score").
  • Replace initialValue with the starting value (like 0).Example:

lua

Copy code

LeaderstatModule.AddStat(player, "Cash", 0)
  1. Set Up Auto-Saving
  • Decide how often you want to auto-save stats (in seconds).
  • Use LeaderstatModule.SetupAutoSave(player, interval) to start auto-saving.
  • Replace interval with the number of seconds between auto-saves.Example:

lua

Copy code

task.spawn(LeaderstatModule.SetupAutoSave, player, 300) -- Saves every 5 minutes
  1. Save Stats When a Player Leaves
  • Use LeaderstatModule.SaveAllStats(player) to save stats when a player leaves the game.
  • Make sure this function runs when the player is removed.
  1. Customize Your Stats
  • Name your stats whatever you want by changing the AddStat parameters.
  • For example, create a "Level" stat with an initial value of 1.Example:

lua

Copy code

LeaderstatModule.AddStat(player, "Level", 1)

Example Script

Here’s a simple script to get you started:

lua

Copy code

local LeaderstatModule = require(game.ServerScriptService.LeaderstatModule)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    -- Set up stats for the player
    LeaderstatModule.AddStat(player, "Cash", 0)
    LeaderstatModule.AddStat(player, "Level", 1)

    -- Set up auto-saving every 300 seconds
    task.spawn(LeaderstatModule.SetupAutoSave, player, 300)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    -- Save all stats when the player leaves
    LeaderstatModule.SaveAllStats(player)
end)

Conclusion

Follow these steps to manage player stats easily with the LeaderstatModule. Customize the stats as needed and make sure your data is saved. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
