so i have a ball in a folder, and i want that to trigger the check point, i used this tutorial:
and i modified the part where it touches to this:
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
-- Touched is an event that is fired when the object is touched
local hum = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Plr")
-- If a part in a model touches the part, touch = that part not the model
if hum and touch.Parent.Name == "Boulder" then
-- The thing that touched the checkpoint is alive
local player = touch.Plr.Value
-- This allows us to find a player with their character (it's very useful)
if player then
-- Whatever touched the checkpoint is a player
local leaderstats = game.Players[hum]:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")
-- Find the stage leader stat
print(player)
if (tonumber(checkpoint.Name:match("%d+"))-stage.Value) == 1 then
-- match() finds certain parts in a string
-- So when we do match("%d"), we're finding the numbers in a string
-- This is the player's next checkpoint
-- This makes it so player's can't skip checkpoints
-- or lose progress if they accidently go backwards
stage.Value = stage.Value + 1
end
end
end
end)
end
It appears this script makes the player’s stage count go up whem they touch the checkpoint, but it doesnt actuallly set their spawn location to the new checkpoint.
hmm, i didnt change anything else, this is the full script btw
local StageData = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("StageData")

local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
repeat wait(0.00) until rootPart
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
print("Checkpoint" .. tostring(stage))
if ("Checkpoint" .. tostring(stage)) == checkpoint.Name then
print("Checkpoint found")
rootPart.CFrame = checkpoint.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)

You indexed leaderstats wrong here, it should be hum.Value:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”).
Fixed code:
--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
--//Variables
local StageData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("StageData")
local Checkpoints = workspace.Checkpoints

local function GoToCheckpoint(character, stage)
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart", 5)
if not rootPart then
return

rootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints:WaitForChild("Checkpoint".. stage).CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 1, 0)

no, i am trying to get the player’s name using the value stored inside , oddly this dosn’t work:
--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
--//Variables
local StageData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("StageData")
local Checkpoints = workspace.Checkpoints

local function GoToCheckpoint(character, stage)
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart", 5)
if not rootPart then
return
end
rootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints:WaitForChild("Checkpoint".. stage).CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 1, 0)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)

stage.Value = StageData:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
-- Retrieve the player's data, but if there is none, start the player on stage 1
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- The function we're connecting to this event will be called everytime the player's character spawns
GoToCheckpoint(character, stage.Value)
end)
end)

for i, checkpoint in ipairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do

local leaderstats = game.Players[plr.Value]:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")

Tell me everything this prints after you move onto the next checkpoint:
--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
--//Variables
local StageData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("StageData")

local function GoToCheckpoint(character, stage)
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart", 5)
if not rootPart then
return
end
rootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints:WaitForChild("Checkpoint".. stage).CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 1, 0)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Value = StageData:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
-- Retrieve the player's data, but if there is none, start the player on stage 1
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- The function we're connecting to this event will be called everytime the player's character spawns
GoToCheckpoint(character, stage.Value)
end)
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
StageData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
-- Saves the player's data when they leave the game
end)
for i, checkpoint in ipairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local plr = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Plr")
if not plr or not plr.Value then
return
end
local leaderstats = Players:WaitForChild(plr.Value):WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")
print(tonumber(checkpoint.Name:match("%d+")), stage.Value)
if (tonumber(checkpoint.Name:match("%d+")) - stage.Value) == 1 then
stage.Value += 1
end
end)
end
Hm, that’s weird then. Try this, maybe the checkpoints loaded in after the game started:
--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
--//Variables
local StageData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("StageData")
local Checkpoints = workspace.Checkpoints
--//Functions
local function GoToCheckpoint(character, stage)
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart", 5)
if not rootPart then
return
end
rootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints:WaitForChild("Checkpoint".. stage).CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 1, 0)
end
local function InitializeCheckpoint(checkpoint)
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local plr = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Plr")
if not plr or not plr.Value then
return
end
local leaderstats = Players:WaitForChild(plr.Value):WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")
print(tonumber(checkpoint.Name:match("%d+")), stage.Value)
if (tonumber(checkpoint.Name:match("%d+")) - stage.Value) == 1 then
stage.Value += 1
end
end)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Value = StageData:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
-- Retrieve the player's data, but if there is none, start the player on stage 1
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- The function we're connecting to this event will be called everytime the player's character spawns
GoToCheckpoint(character, stage.Value)
end)
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
StageData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
-- Saves the player's data when they leave the game
end)
Checkpoints.ChildAdded:Connect(InitializeCheckpoint)
for i, checkpoint in ipairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
task.spawn(InitializeCheckpoint, checkpoint)
end
Yeah nothing happened there either, i decided to rework it from the oringinal script like this:
local StageData = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("StageData")
local Checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints"):GetChildren()
function GoToCheckpoint(character, stage)
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
repeat wait(0.00) until rootPart
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
print("Checkpoint" .. tostring(stage))
if ("Checkpoint" .. tostring(stage)) == checkpoint.Name then
print("Checkpoint found")
rootPart.CFrame = checkpoint.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)
break
-- Stop looping since we found the checkpoint
end
end
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Value = StageData:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
-- Retrieve the player's data, but if there is none, start the player on stage 1
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- The function we're connecting to this event will be called everytime the player's character spawns
GoToCheckpoint(character, stage.Value)
end)
end)
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
-- Touched is an event that is fired when the object is touched
local hum = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Plr")
-- If a part in a model touches the part, touch = that part not the model
if hum and touch.Parent.Name == "Boulder" then
-- The thing that touched the checkpoint is alive
-- Whatever touched the checkpoint is a player
local leaderstats = game.Players[hum.Value]:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")
-- Find the stage leader stat
print(hum.Value)
if (tonumber(checkpoint.Name:match("%d+"))-stage.Value) == 1 then
-- match() finds certain parts in a string
-- So when we do match("%d"), we're finding the numbers in a string
-- This is the player's next checkpoint
-- This makes it so player's can't skip checkpoints
-- or lose progress if they accidently go backwards
stage.Value = stage.Value + 1
end
end
end)
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
StageData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
-- Saves the player's data when they leave the game
end)
it only finds the first checkpoint and prints, but the boulder dosn’t trigger it
