Making Stat Points do things

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,
I have a script that data stores and loads stat points. For example,

	local endurance = Instance.new("IntValue", folder) 
	endurance.Name = "Endurance"

I am looking to make the endurance actually do things. What I am trying to accomplish is for every endurance stat point, their walk speed is increased by 0.1. How can I accomplish this? I tried a for i loop and it didn’t work, and I can’t find any documentation on it.

Every time the endurance increases(like a player does something), in the same script do this:

walkSpeed = endurance * 0.1

#3

That won’t work, as the script that changes the endurance value starts off in a local script and gets what ever the text button is named and fires a event with the name of the stat’s textbutton and a server script recieves it and ups whatever stat is recieved, and it’s in a different script than my main stat script, which means theres no way to determine if the stat point being upped is. If this doesn’t make sense, heres my scripts:
Local script

local statsRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Stats") -- the stats remote event put inside a variable
local enabled = false -- a cooldown value, prevents button spamming

for _, button in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren())do -- we loop through the frame
	if button:IsA("TextButton") then -- if the thing we're currently at is a textbutton then...
		button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- if that textbutton was clicked then...
			if enabled == false then -- if the cooldown value is false then...
				enabled = true -- we turn it to true, so it fails the check above...
				statsRemote:FireServer("AddStatpoints", string.sub(button.Name, 1, string.len(button.Name) - 6)) 
				script["Fallout (1) - Click"]:Play()
				wait(0.25) 
				enabled = false
			end
		end)
	end
end

Regular script:

local statsRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Stats") -- the stats remote event put inside a variable

function checkForLevelUp(Player) -- we create a function which checks whether the player should level up
	local data = Player:FindFirstChild("Data") -- we put the player's data folder inside a variable
	if data:WaitForChild("Exp").Value >= data:WaitForChild("ExpMax").Value then -- if the player's exp is over or equal to the max exp, hes able to reach till he levels up then...
		data:WaitForChild("Exp").Value = 0 -- we reset the player's exp
		data:WaitForChild("ExpMax").Value = data:WaitForChild("ExpMax").Value + (data:WaitForChild("ExpMax").Value / 2) -- we raise the max exp limit
		data:WaitForChild("Level").Value = data:WaitForChild("Level").Value + 1 -- we add one level
		data:WaitForChild("Statpoints").Value = data:WaitForChild("Statpoints").Value + math.random(10, 20) -- we give a random amount of statpoints (between 2-6)
	end
end

statsRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Val, ToWhat) -- if the stats remote event was fireservered then...
	local Data = Player:WaitForChild("Data") -- we put the player's data folder inside a variable
	if Val == "AddStatpoints" and Data:WaitForChild("Statpoints").Value > 0 then -- if the script is told to add a statpoint to a stat and there are enough statpoints then...
		Data:WaitForChild("Statpoints").Value =  Data:WaitForChild("Statpoints").Value - 1 -- we remove 1 statpoint
		Data:WaitForChild(tostring(ToWhat)).Value = Data:WaitForChild(tostring(ToWhat)).Value + 1
		
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- if a player joins then...
	repeat wait() until Player:FindFirstChild("Data") -- we make the script wait till the player's data is avaible
	
	checkForLevelUp(Player) -- we check the player, if hes ready to level up
	
	Player:FindFirstChild("Data").Exp.Changed:Connect(function() -- once the exp changes
		checkForLevelUp(Player) -- we check the player, if hes ready to level up
	end)
end)

Update, I added more stats and tried other methods and it still didn’t work.

Wdym it wont work? In the server script where you increase the endurance, just update the players stats there. If you mean it won’t save or something then setup a starter character script to add the endurance for you.

#6 
local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local endurance = player:WaitForChild("Endurance")
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.WalkSpeed += endurance.Value * 0.1
	end)
end)

Should be as simple as this, just make sure the player’s “Endurance” value is being set by the server.

Works great, thanks a lot man!
