Hello! I need your help with scripting a time overhead that matches with my leader stats and a 10X time zone which gives 10 times the time

You would just make a billboard UI and within the UI Instance, you can just Connect to the leader board stats with Instance | Roblox Creator Documentation or NumberValue | Roblox Creator Documentation to detect whether the value changed or not.

within the function you would just set the value

TimeVal:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
TimeVal.Value
end)

Strictly an example

Well did you insert a script

  1. you will make the billboard UI, Text label
  2. then you will insert a local script that will update the text value
  3. you wanna add the billboard into player head while they spawn
local Players = game:GetService('Players')

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	-- add Clone() builbaord / Parent = Character.Head
	end)
		
end)

Resocures

I did the ui and text label, where do I add the local script? StarterPlayerScripts?
also where do I add the billboard ui? serverstorage?

You can place it Server Storage,Replicated Storage anywhere u prefer

You can add the local script in starter PlayerScripters indexing to the UI wouldn’t be as easy as Just placing the localscript within the textlabel.

Um, It didn’t work when I tested it

#8

Do you know what exactly didn’t work?
can you explain what u did so far

#9

I put billboard ui in serverstorage and LocalScript in ScriptPlayerService


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	-- add Clone() billboard/ Parent = Character.Head
	end)
		
end)```
#10

LocalScripts can’t access ServerStorage (hence, Server storage). Try putting it in ReplicatedStorage.

#11

Alright, I’ll do it right now and I’ll test it out

#12

It’s seems it didn’t work either

This is the DataStore script in ServerScriptService:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore")

local function CreateStat(name, class, value, parent)
	local stat = Instance.new(class)
	stat.Name = name
	stat.Value = value
	stat.Parent = parent
	
	return stat
end

local function GetKey(player)
	return player.UserId .. "-"
end

local function SaveData(player)
	local key = GetKey(player)
	
	local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
	local timeAliveData = leaderstats["Time Alive"].Value
	local bestTimeData = leaderstats["Best Time"].Value
	
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		DataStore:SetAsync(key .. "TimeAlive", timeAliveData)
		DataStore:SetAsync(key .. "BestTime", bestTimeData)
	end)
	
	if not success then
		warn(result)
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local key = GetKey(player)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local timeAlive = CreateStat("Time Alive", "IntValue", 0, leaderstats)
	local bestTime = CreateStat("Best Time", "IntValue", 0, leaderstats)
	
	local timeAliveData, bestTimeData
	
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		timeAliveData = DataStore:GetAsync(key .. "TimeAlive")
		bestTimeData = DataStore:GetAsync(key .. "BestTime")
	end)
	
	if success then
		timeAlive.Value = timeAliveData or 0
		bestTime.Value = bestTimeData or 0
	else
		warn(result)
		player:Kick("Error occured while retrieving your saved data.")
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SaveData)

if not RunService:IsStudio() then
	game:BindToClose(function()
		if #game.Players:GetPlayers() <= 1 then return end
		
		for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			SaveData(player)
		end
	end)
end```

Dukzae just wanted to help i get that but…

  1. The placement of the localscript was fine u don’t need it work rn
    you haven’t edited the example code i sent and local script needa the billboardUI + local script

all the code i sent was an example something to possible start off on not to. copy and paste

#15

and TimeScript in StarterCharacterScripts:

local humanoid = character.Humanoid

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local timeAlive = leaderstats["Time Alive"]
local bestTime = leaderstats["Best Time"]

local regionPart = workspace.Region

local min = regionPart.Position - (0.5 * regionPart.Size)
local max = regionPart.Position + (0.5 * regionPart.Size)
local region = Region3.new(min, max)

local function CheckSpawnRegion()
	local objects = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithWhiteList(region, {character})
	
	if #objects > 0 then
		if not character:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField") then
			local forceField = Instance.new("ForceField")
			forceField.Visible = true
			forceField.Parent = character
		end
		
		return true
	else
		local forceField = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField")
		
		if forceField then
			forceField:Destroy()
		end
		
		return false
	end
end

local hasDied = false

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	hasDied = true
end)

while wait() do
	if hasDied then break end
	
	while not hasDied and not CheckSpawnRegion() do
		timeAlive.Value += 1
		
		if timeAlive.Value > bestTime.Value then
			bestTime.Value = timeAlive.Value
		end
		
		wait(1)
	end
	
	if hasDied then
		timeAlive.Value = 0
	end
end```
