Lives Stats

[surreal tulip]

-- Function that handles player death and removes one life from the Lives leaderstat
local function onPlayerDead(player)
local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if leaderstats then
local lives = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Lives")
if lives and lives.Value > 0 then
lives.Value = lives.Value - 1
if lives.Value <= 0 then
player:Kick("You have run out of lives.")
end
end
end
end

-- Function that connects the onPlayerDead function to player deaths
local function onPlayerEntered(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
onPlayerDead(player)
end)
end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerEntered)

this was supposed to make me lose 1 life when i die ut i lost 2

That works fine. The reason it might be removing 2 lives is because you might have connected 2 of those onPlayerDead events.

I’m not exactly sure how the compiler would handle this but it can very well be that the .Died event plays twice as it is connected twice, which would be weird as the humanoid technically changes.

Maybe to test add a connection =
In front of the .died line and then just check if that connection already exists before it is declared again

So that would mean

local Connection
…
player.CharacterAdded….
if Connection then Connection:Disconnect end
…
Connection = humanoid.died…
