oh you can simply add +1 to the character humanoid walskpeed property!!!

#

if the points are parts you can simply use the touched event of the part

#

and on touched

get the humanoid from the touched part (if it exists)
add +1 to it's walkspeed

The thing is that it's not parts it's just like time

ivory violet The thing is that it's not parts it's just like time

I don't see the problem, then have some sort of Tick that adds points every x interval

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

I made it so every 5 seconds I get 1 point

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

that's great

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

But

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

then you solved your problem lol

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

How do I turn those points into speed

#

I'm new to scripting

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

you have access to them don't you?

#

and this applies to all players

#

I pressume

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

What do you mean

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

that this points things apply to all players, right?

#

points to speed

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

Yes

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

okay how does your points logic look?

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

Should I send the script

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

ofc

you're using quotes

not backticks

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:29 PM

oh

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

    local playerList = Players:GetPlayers()

#

don't do that

#

Oh wait this is in a while loop

#

then yeah it does not matter then

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

yea

#

its loop

I mean this fine 🤔

        -- get the player character humanoid here and add +1 to the humanoid walspeed property
    end
end

#

there the comment explains

#

to help you a bit

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

so like player.character.humanoid.walkspeed +1?

slow glade Dec 14, 2022, 5:31 PM

        local Speed = player.leaderstats.Speed
        Speed.Value = Speed.Value + 1
      
        local Character = currentPlayer.Character
        if not Character then continue end --> cause the character is not guaranteed to be there!
        -- get humnanoid
        -- offset humanoid's walkspeed
    end
end

ivory violet Dec 14, 2022, 5:32 PM
