My NPC Isn't Giving Me Cash On Kill

[bookgamery555gta]

ohhh you can put it as a function that the link i gave it above
and to run a function, place in a activated event when it hit a humanoid!
you just need a character of the player who activate!

I don’t understand what you are trying to say.

[bookgamery555gta]

i tried to say that:

function getPlayerFromCharacter(character)
 for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
if player.Character == character then
 return player
 end
 end
 end

This function will find a player character which match with our character, after the matches, it will return our player which will be a creator value of this topic!

all you need is to call a function like this:

local player = getPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent) --because when you equip a --tool, a tool will be placed in a character.
if player then -- when we received a result, it is our player
--make a creator tag
creator.Value = player
end

So it’s a new script in ServerScriptService?

[bookgamery555gta]

no, you just put in the sword script.

[B4Mp4]

I put it in the place when the humanoid is about to get damaged?
I’m sorry if I’m annoying you with all these questions, it’s just that I’m not a very good scripter.

[bookgamery555gta]

no problem! if it still have an error, you can just call me!
yes, you put in that place

[B4Mp4]

There is an error that says something with “Consider changing it to local”

There is an error here saying that there is an Unknown Global “creator”

[bookgamery555gta]

i can fix! can you show me full? i think you might type it wrong

[bookgamery555gta]

First change the add a local before a getplayerFromCharacter()
–example local function getPlayerFromCharacter()

place a function on top of the script!
it wouldnt work there!
–example
–function HERE

–then follow with the other script

[B4Mp4]

Like this?

[bookgamery555gta]

the creator that i gave you is an example! i didnt definded it yet!
so the server dont know what creator is? it just a simple script as this!
local CreatorTag = Instance.new(“ObjectValue”)
CreatorTag.Name = “creator”
CreatorTag.Value = player
CreatorTag.Parent = Hum
game.Debris:AddItem(CreatorTag, 2)

–change the creatorTag to “creator”!

[bookgamery555gta]

yes! now it will work on every line because it is above all!

[bookgamery555gta]

now after you do it, it will store a damager of a player so if the NPC died they can check on the list of the damager that did to the NPC and find a player that stored in a creator tag!

[B4Mp4]

For some reason I can’t actually do the animation and deal damage.
Any idea how to fix this?

I’m going to go to bed now. I’m going to check back in the morning.

[bookgamery555gta]

you can try to use Roblox’s default ClassicSword, it have a creatortag data store for simplier working and you can just working out by making only a creatortag detection only!

[BadDad2004]

Nice to you sticking around to help and remaining patient.

[B4Mp4]

I used the ClassicSword, it still doesn’t give me any cells.
