Question About Script

So I was thinking of making an Arcade game. If the Instance.new() ball hits a part, you get +10 tickets to your leaderstats cash. Theres a String Value that stores the player’s name. I’m not sure how I’d add it to the player’s leaderstats if it does hit.

local player

player.leaderstats.ValueName.Value+= 10

Example:

Part.Touched:Connect(function(ball)
   if ball.Name == "Ball" then
      player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Tickets").Value += 1
end)
4

In a local script in the part its touching?

5

What do you mean? Are you trying to say if you should use a local script or a server script for the touched event?

6

Should this go into a local script?

7

Oh, no. This should be in a server script.

This is just an example. It’s not a full code

8

I don’t understand how it’d get the ‘player’ part. Thats what my main thread is asking.

9

Yup since the part could send multiple Touched events and add tons of cash to the leaderstat if he used that exact code

I understand its just a part of the code. I need to know how to add money to the user’s cash as the code above doesn’t seem it references a specific player.

You said you have a string value that stores the players name so do:

Part.Touched:Connect(function(ball)
    if ball.Name == "Ball" then
       local player = game:GetService("Players")[ball.StringValue.Value]
       player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Tickets").Value += 10
    end
end)

Where is the StringValue that stores the player’s name located? Is it in StarterCharacterScripts, StarterPlayerScripts, ReplicatedStorage, etc.

local alreadytouched = {}
Part.Touched:Connect(function(ball)
	if ball.Name == "Ball" and not table.find(alreadytouched, ball) then
		table.insert(alreadytouched,ball)
		local player = game:GetService("Players")[ball.StringValue.Value]
		player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Tickets").Value += 10
	end
end)
