Need help with array

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I’m trying to make a rank up system, just like saber simulator and I think that the best way to do that was to use array.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    the issue is that, using index += 1 doesn’t seem to add anything to the leaderstats. When I try to print it, it works perfectly and add + 1 to the index. It just doesn’t show on the leaderstats

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I’ve tried to search on the dev forum for some information but nothing is similar to my problem.

the most important is between the line 1 and 23. the rest is to load the data and save the data (thanks to the dev forum lol)

So if I understood this clearly, it ranks you up in the script, but not on the leaderstats?

#3

Yes, it prints out the value but it doesn’t go in the leaderstats.

All i needed to do was to make that, if a player rank up (via a local script), it would need a remoteEvent to make the player actually get the value and then when the player leaves, it saves into his data (Because this script was in a module script).

TLDR; all i needed was to make a remote event. Changing values doesn’t work in a module script.
