Npcs/players give money on kill?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

(I know this has been the like 5th post in 2 days on this category but i promise this is the last since its the final thing in the update for my game)

So recently ive been working on a script that makes npcs/players give money when killed
When ever i find a tutorial it isnt working
I make sure it checks the value in the humanoid which determines who killed the player (For now i change the value in studio)
I understand they use the default roblox sword which adds a value into the player but whenever i change the value myself it dosnt work
It need to work without the sword or my fighting game is done for ;-;

So im asking if you guys have any ideas on how to do this
(Im not asking for an entire script,just ways to do it)

Also the money in my game is called Credits

And the creator value has been inserted into all the Play-Able characters humanoids

Hope you can help

Not to be rude but its not that simple

It will be hard for us to help you if we don’t have a script or an idea on how your system works. If you have any code please share it or general idea on how you want it to work.
Edit: Are you asking how you track the Humanoid health in studio and figure out who kills the NPC humanoid?

Alright ive got a small idea
My plan is to fire an event from the script in an npc and also send the money and person who killed the npc then making the server search for the player sent by the event then adding the money sent in the event

Alright heres the npc script part of me thinks the code they used in these tutorials is kinda weird
Like i dont think my players leaderstats are in the creator value 0-0

local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
function GiveMoney() 
local tag = Humanoid:findFirstChild("creator") 
if tag ~= nil then 
if tag.Value ~= nil then 
local Leaderstats = tag.Value:findFirstChild("leaderstats") 
if Leaderstats ~= nil then 
Leaderstats.Credits.Value = Leaderstats.Credits.Value + 50 --Change Money to the stat that is increased. 

end 
end 
end 
end 
Humanoid.Died:connect(GiveMoney)

Alright its coming up with this error
Workspace.Normal Dummy .money kill:6: attempt to call a nil value

#10 
local Humanoid = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
function GiveMoney() 
    local tag = Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") 
    if tag ~= nil then 
        if tag.Value ~= nil then 
            local Leaderstats = tag.Value:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") 
            if Leaderstats ~= nil then 
                Leaderstats.Credits.Value = Leaderstats.Credits.Value + 50
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
Humanoid.Died:Connect(GiveMoney)

Try this as you had some syntax errors in your code.

find it hard
This is also gonna be really important and thanks since if no one commented the game would be in a lot of trouble

#12

Nope these scripts are weird now
No error popping up but its not working : /

#13

Try implementing print() statements?

local Humanoid = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
function GiveMoney() 
    print("Ow")
    local tag = Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") 
    if tag ~= nil then 
        print("Found a Tag Object")
        if tag.Value ~= nil then 
            print("Found a Value inside the Tag Object")
            local Leaderstats = tag.Value:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") 
            if Leaderstats ~= nil then 
                print("Giving stats")
                Leaderstats.Credits.Value = Leaderstats.Credits.Value + 50
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

Same error as before
Workspace.Normal Dummy .money kill:9: attempt to call a nil value
I think it may something to do with me changing the value in explorer (In the server option by the way) instead of changing it with a script

#15

The tag.Value should be a Player object if I recall correctly, and it looks like it stops after it attempts to find the leaderstats object

I don’t think changing the value in the Explorer could be anything to do with it

Are you sure that this script is parented to the NPC’s/Player’s Model?

#16

Im sure the script is parented to the npc and w

Im not very good at this part of scripting and dont really understand that :rofl:
Can you explain it a bit?

#17

Usually whenever a ObjectValue is created onto the Target and it dies, it checks for all of the sanity checks using if tag ~= nil/if tag.Value ~= nil and such

Just try this script, see what outputs back (Print statements only)

local Humanoid = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
function GiveMoney() 
    print("Ow")
    local tag = Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") 
    print(tag)
    if tag ~= nil then 
        print("Found a Tag Object")
        if tag.Value ~= nil then 
            print(tag.Value)
            print("Found a Value inside the Tag Object")
            local Leaderstats = tag.Value:WaitForChild("leaderstats", 3) 
            print(Leaderstats)
            if Leaderstats ~= nil then 
                print("Giving stats")
                Leaderstats.Credits.Value = Leaderstats.Credits.Value + 50
            end 
        end 
    end 
end
