The leaderboard values won't update when i press a certain part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I have made a leaderboard for wins and it works perfectly. However when you finish a minigame obby, you need to step on a part to win. I have tried using what I know such as

workspace.Button1.Touched:Connect(function()
game.ServerScriptStorage.Leaderboard.Wins.Value + 1 -- the no. 1 will have to add to the value

can someone please tell me what I did wrong? I am a beginner scripter.

Okay so first thing, ServerScriptStorage isn’t meant to be a storage for anything else than server scripts/modules. However, in order to add 1 to your value, do this

game.ServerScriptService.Leaderboard.Wins.Value = game.ServerScriptService.Leaderboard.Wins.Value + 1

I meant serverScriptService****

And I did that, but the script wouldn’t work. Do I need to place it into a local script?

The script above wouldn’t work because as I said, ServerScriptService isn’t meant to be holding values, try using ServerStorage instead; I just showed you the way of increasing a value.

Local scripts can’t access stuff on the server side

Wouldn’t work, I inserted the script into ServerStorage.

Scripts don’t run in ServerStorage. He was just suggesting that you moved the value.

I’ll break down why you have to write it twice.
local Var = 0 – Your value
Var = X – Set the new value to X
Var = Var – Keep the value the same
Var = Var + 1 – Add one to the old value (what you’re trying to do)

Var + 1 did not work work for two reasons. Firstly you’re not actually setting the value as you didn’t include =. Secondly, even if you did try to set the value, it’s effectivelyVar = nil + 1
