I’m having this issue where a fourth value shows up on the leaderstats for some players, sometimes it’s me sometimes it’s my friend, and I have no Idea what’s causing it
(I’m not using any local script to change the leaderstats)
here’s my messy code if it is of any use
this is my first time using datastores so all of this is confusing to me
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local horesecoins = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
local wins = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
local everykill = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
local kills = Instance.new("IntValue", plr)
local success, data = pcall(function()
return statStore:GetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId))
end)
if success then
if not data then
data = {0, 0, 0}
end
everykill.Value = data[1]
horesecoins.Value = data[2]
wins.Value = data[3]
else
warn("fail")
end
wins.Name = "wins"
horesecoins.Name = "horse coins"
everykill.Name = "all kills"
kills.Name = "kills"
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local allkillsval = plr.leaderstats:WaitForChild("all kills").Value
local horsecoinsval = plr.leaderstats:WaitForChild("horse coins").Value
local winsval = plr.leaderstats:WaitForChild("wins").Value
local success, err = pcall(function()
statStore:SetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId),{allkillsval, horsecoinsval, winsval})
end)
end)
are you sure that inside each Player Instance there is only one leaderstats folder? cause once, every time I started my game, two folders called “leaderstats” would conflict. maybe you didn’t notice that another script could have created another leaderstats folder
I believe he is trying to see if the random value is related to the kill value. Which I believe it is based on your two screenshots, as in the top one is value = 38 and on the bottom one its all kills = 38
I would try implementing this function to see if you have a value that gets added in somewhere. Like do you have another script that makes adjustments to these stats?
local function printLeaderstats(player)
local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if not leaderstats then
warn(player.Name .. " has no leaderstats")
return
end
for _, stat in ipairs(leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
if stat:IsA("ValueBase") then
print(stat.Name .. ":", stat.Value)
end
end
end
You can try calling it when the player joins and leaves.
If the random value is related to the kill value. I would try saving the kill value somewhere else instead of inside the player as it is probably getting added to leader stats anyways.
That code, alone, has no way of creating an extra Value object inside the leaderstats folder.
Please check if you have any other scripts in your game (since you said it only happens for some players and not others, likely a LocalScript) that is creating an extra instance inside the leaderstats folder that maybe you forgot to remove.
In Studio, press Ctrl + Shift + F to open the search tool for all scripts in your game. You can type in “leaderstats” inside of it to see all scripts that reference it in your code; this will help you find it.
