Leaderstats script only work when playing inside the studio

[XdlolErrorAhamlolXd (FluzerXD)]

For some weird reason my script only work when playing inside the studio and did not work on local server and public server and i tried to fix it but i cant still get it to work, im still a beginner scripter

this is from the studio its working properly

this is from the local server and it did not work

What im trying to make here is a distance script with a maximum distance from the center of map

This is the script that i placed on serverscriptserveice:

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
	wait(game.Loaded)

	local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
	stats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local dist = Instance.new("IntValue")
	dist.Name = "Distance"
	dist.Value = 0
	dist.Parent = stats

	local max = Instance.new("IntValue")
	max.Name = "Max"
	max.Value = 0
	max.Parent = stats
	
	stats.Parent = newPlayer

	while true do
		wait(0.5)
		dist.Value = math.round(newPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z)
		if dist.Value >= max.Value then
			max.Value = dist.Value
		end
	end
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

anyone know what is wrong with this script?

wait(game.Loaded)

can you tell me what’s the purpose of that?

Also use Players.PlayerAdded
and if issue persists try wrapping the loop in a spawn function or coroutine

task.spawn(function()
while true do
		wait(0.5)
		dist.Value = math.round(newPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z)
		if dist.Value >= max.Value then
			max.Value = dist.Value
		end
	end
end)

im surprised your script runs at all.
first of wait(game.Loaded) will not work because wait() expects a number and .Loaded is a event.
im pretty sure .Loaded is also client only.

your onPlayerEntered function expects a argument named newPlayer. you should do:

game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(player)
    onPlayerEntered(player)
end)

i tried using that but that dosent worked
here is the current script

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)

	local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
	stats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local dist = Instance.new("IntValue")
	dist.Name = "Distance"
	dist.Value = 0
	dist.Parent = stats

	local max = Instance.new("IntValue")
	max.Name = "Max"
	max.Value = 0
	max.Parent = stats
	
	stats.Parent = newPlayer

	while true do
		wait(0.5)
		dist.Value = math.round(newPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z)
		if dist.Value >= max.Value then
			max.Value = dist.Value
		end
	end
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(player)
	onPlayerEntered(player)
end)

This is from the log vvv

this is because the players character hasnt been created yet, you should try doing newPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() after you parent the stats

Thanks, its working now. i was using wait(game.loaded) because i thought the script dosent work because the game was not loaded

As the other person said, even that wouldn’t work since loaded is an event, not a number, if you wanted to do that you would do game.Loaded:Wait()
