Script that resets stats when player dies doesnt work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

This is the script I have, its just after the leaderstats script and just before the datastore part of my datastore script

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			stage.Value = 0
		end)
	end)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

why won’t you do it on the client and a remoteevent
seems more straightforward

3

Have you tried printing stage.Value to see if it did actually change?

And if there’s any other relevant code, please provide it.

4

I’m guessing you defined stage as stage.Value up top.

5

stage is defined as an instance.new and the "stage.Value = " part works as i’ve used it in another script

6

Stage.Value doesnt print, so its an issue with the dying part

7

Then, how is the player dying? I don’t see any problem with your code.

Are you destroying the character/humanoid?

8

No, theres no indirect code to kill the player its just supposed to detect when the player has died

Give us the full script please. It’s like:

Yo guys why my script doesn’t work?

Variable.Value = 50

I didn’t mean “indirect”.
I meant How are you killing the player? Where?
Provide any other related script if you need help; I (We) can’t just keep assuming and receiving No, It’s not, it doesn’t …

Agree on this.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 
	player.CharacterAdded:Wait() 
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") 
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player 

	local stage = Instance.new("IntValue") 
	stage.Name = "Stage" 
	stage.Parent = leaderstats 
	stage.Value = 0 

	local bstage = Instance.new("IntValue") 
	bstage.Name = "BestStage" 
	bstage.Parent = leaderstats
	bstage.Value = 0 
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			stage.Value = 0
			print(stage.Value)
		end)
	end)

I think this is all the relevant parts to this

Because you waited for Character to spawn at the start. If you’ll remove the first Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() it will work.

Over the top of all this add; local stage = nil
Then don’t use a local on local stage = Instance.new(“IntValue”)

local stage = nil 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 
--
--
stage = Instance.new("IntValue") 
--

technically it will work, just not the first time but the second.

I just checked that and yeah you’re right lol, it does work on the 2nd respawn

Please look at the post before giving your solution. Check if anyone answered it already.

Mark @Fan_Len4ika1Tvink123 as solution If your problem was fixed.

Why? What’s this going to do? ( actually curious )

I did not realise it was gonna be that simple, thank you!

I have no idea but the Stage variable will be replaced when a new Player joins, so this isn’t a solution, but it adds more problems

It should have work the way it was… I was setting up a test.
I should have seen the Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() was missing. :man_facepalming:
