Your script had some issues, besides the one Yaroslav mentioned. Here they’re fixed.
local rebirthBaseCost = game.ReplicatedStorage.RebirthValue.Value --Any changes to value will also affect the BillboardGui.Text
local newRebirthCost = rebirthBaseCost * ((rebirthStat.Value * 2.5) * 1.05)
if rebirthStat.Value == 0 then -- If we have not rebirthed before
if coinStat.Value < rebirthBaseCost then return end -- If our current coins is lower than the base rebirth cost, return end. Return in this case just means that the script wont go further.
else -- If not first time rebirthing
if coinStat.Value < newRebirthCost then return end -- If our current coins is lower than the newRebirthCost then return end. Return in this case just means that the script wont go further.
end
-- If the script did not "return" we know we had enough coins, so just give them rebirth stuff.
coinStat.Value = 0
rebirthStat.Value += 1
rebirthToken.Value += 1 -- This is a value the player can use to increase their stats
script.RebirthSound:Play()
I tried your solution and nothing happened so I added a couple print statements to see if it activates when touched and nothing happened. I am unsure what the problem is.
-- Rebirth Upgrade Script --
local Players = game.Players
local rebirthPad = script.Parent
local db = true
local function onPartTouched(otherPart)
local parent = otherPart.Parent
local humanoid = parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
if humanoid and db then
db = false
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local playerstats = player.playerstats
local rebirthStat = leaderstats and leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Rebirth")
local coinStat = leaderstats and leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Coins")
local rebirthToken = playerstats and playerstats:FindFirstChild("RebirthToken")
------------- Put code in here --------------------------------------------------
local rebirthBaseCost = game.ReplicatedStorage.RebirthValue.Value --Any changes to value will also affect the BillboardGui.Text
local newRebirthCost = rebirthBaseCost * ((rebirthStat.Value * 2.5) * 1.05)
if rebirthStat.Value == 0 then
if coinStat.Value < rebirthBaseCost then return end
print(rebirthBaseCost)
else
if coinStat.Value < newRebirthCost then return end
print(newRebirthCost)
end
coinStat.Value = 0
rebirthStat.Value += 1
rebirthToken.Value += 1 -- This is a value the player can use to increase their stats
script.RebirthSound:Play()
task.wait(1)
db = true
end
end
rebirthPad.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)
--[[
rebirth token "rToken" would be used to increase,
1+ gold
1+ run speed
1+ luck
+1 rebirth coin - used in shop or something
--]]
Your prints wont print, if coinStat.Value is below the cost.
Edit:
Also here I fixed your variables
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)
if not player return end
local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local playerstats = player:FindFirstChild("playerstats")
if not leaderstats or not playerstats return end
local rebirthStat = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Rebirth")
local coinStat = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Coins")
local rebirthToken = playerstats:FindFirstChild("RebirthToken")
if not rebirthStat or not coinStat or not rebirthToken return end
So I added then’s and the red lines went away. The first rebirth worked as intended but there was no second. Something’s causing it seeing as I even gave myself 50k coins but it still didn’t rebirth.
If that does not work, just stick to your original plan.
local Players = game.Players
local rebirthPad = script.Parent
local rebirthBaseCost = game.ReplicatedStorage.RebirthValue.Value --Any changes to value will also affect the BillboardGui.Text
local db = {}
local function setdb(player,Status)
db[player.name] = Status
end
local function onPartTouched(otherPart)
local parent = otherPart.Parent
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)
if not player return end
if db[player.name] return end
setdb(player,true)
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)
if not player then setdb(player) return end
local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild(leaderstats)
local playerstats = player:FindFirstChild(playerstats)
if not leaderstats or not playerstats then setdb(player) return end
local rebirthStat = leaderstats:FindFirstChild(Rebirth)
local coinStat = leaderstats:FindFirstChild(Coins)
local rebirthToken = playerstats:FindFirstChild(RebirthToken)
if not rebirthStat or not coinStat or not rebirthToken then setdb(player) return end
if rebirthStat.Value == 0 then
print("Have not rebirthed before.The player has enough coins:",coinStat.Value>=rebirthBaseCost)
if coinStat.Value < rebirthBaseCost then setdb(player) return end
print(rebirthBaseCost)
else
local newRebirthCost = rebirthBaseCost * ((rebirthStat.Value * 2.5) * 1.05)
print("Have rebirthed before.The player has enough coins:",coinStat.Value>=newRebirthCost)
if coinStat.Value < newRebirthCost then setdb(player) return end
end
coinStat.Value = 0
rebirthStat.Value += 1
rebirthToken.Value += 1 -- This is a value the player can use to increase their stats
script.RebirthSound:Play()
task.wait(1)
setdb(player)
end
rebirthPad.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)
Works perfectly tyvm. I test in and out the game too fast I think as the Datastore values don’t always save but at least the rebirth system works now. Just have to tell the BillboardGui to display the coins needed to rebirth now and it’s good to move on to the next part. I can’t thank you enough.
I was thinking that too but it took me months just to understand what Datastore does and i’m still struggling with it tbh. Datastore2 scares me as I’m on a time crunch now.
I would recommend that you use DataStore2. It’s a very good module for those who wish to just have a datasave system that works without much hassle!
Here’s the setup that I have for my own games. I’ve simplified it for you!
Have the module downloaded and place it into ServerStorage. Also create a “StringValue” in ServerStorage, that we use to change our DataVersion with, this way we can “wipe” all data in the future, just by changing the value of the DataVersion StringValue in ServerStorage. (I personally write “v1” as the default version. Also create a BoolValue in ServerStorage called “SaveInStudio”, if this boolvalue is false, then it won’t save data while you’re testing in studio.
I will definitely look into it again but I have noone around me that knows this stuff so I’m on my own. Maybe I could add you as a resource if you’re not too busy for the odd question here and there if you don’t mind?
