#

Hello I need help with my game so I have a Tix/Coin you can call it I want it to do this so when a player touches the Tix/Coin whatever you wanna call it it should disappear and add 1 point in the leaderboard i dont want a gui leaderboard i want a regular leaderboard and if a player rejoins i dont want them to keep grinding in one tix/coin so no respawn Thank you!

Um

#

If you want a whole system then #💵︱hiring

#

But I can help you figure it out

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

i will apperciate it if you can

#

i tried using ai

#

did not help

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

Can you script well?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

no i am learning

#

but i can type fast

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

💀I don't think that helps much here

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:09 PM

#

😭ikr

#

so is their anything that i can do

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:11 PM

#

Yes

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:11 PM

#

what is it then 😦

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:11 PM

#

Gimme a sec I'm helping someone else

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

alr

#

i am gonna be playing roblox for then

#

when you are done mention me okay

#

??

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:23 PM

#

Alr

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

show us your code

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

They don't have any

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

i dont have any

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

code to make a part disapear on touch and add plus one to a stat?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

no so i want to do is this when a player touches a part they get 1 point right. Then after when they get the point the part disappears and if the player rejoins then they can't keep standing there and keep grinding the same coin

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

@modern harness
Here's the basic idea:

Use some sort of mass scripting (collection service, loops, modules, etc.) to detect a touch
If it's a player, update their leader stats value
Turn off can touch, can collide, etc.
Put that coin in a table with a bool or something that shows that it's been touched by the player.
When a player joins, get the data store and loop through the table setting the touch detections back on

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

I dont know anything of about this

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

crying

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

you will need to learn this is basic stuff

#

potato gave you all the parts

#

you need to learn datastores to store player data

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

api

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

its not really basic but it's essential for a cool game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

is there for datastore

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

autumn mica its not really basic but it's essential for a cool game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

true but can anyone script it for me

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

Probably but you have to check #💵︱hiring or #👷︱for-hire

#

Most people in scripting help won't make scripts for you

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

i got no cash

#

😦

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

There's people that work for free

#

There's a role but I'm not sure how it works

#

I have it bc idk how to get rid of it 😭

#

But there's people that actually will script for free

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

okay so i go into the hiring

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

I recommend watching tutorials or something tho

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

you could learn this stuff in a weak my dude

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

And follow my outline

save your money, develop your skills

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

Yeah it's not an easy concept but easy to learn

#

If that makes sense

#

There's tons of resources

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

it gets boring

#

thats all

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

modern harness i tried using ai

Unpopular opinion, ai is really useful if you give it detailed prompts

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

everytime i do

#

the parts go somwhere random

#

but wait i do have code

#

i have code wait wait

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

Yeah you need a bit of knowledge to fix the code tho

#

AI is inconsistent af

#

Lemme try something

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

you may need to actually learn how coding in general works

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

this is the code that i have so far

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

that might help you faster

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

how do i put it into

#

the code version in discord

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

ok what happens when you run it

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

this was in ServerScriptService

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

why? did you make it?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

it works

#

but the problem is

#

when i rejoin

#

the part stays there

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

well the problem is obvious

autumn mica Jul 5, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

I tried clowning chatgpt but it doesn't work 😭😭

#

Anyways

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

image player a was touching it after he got the point the part disappears but after it disappears other people can still see it

cedar summitBOT Jul 5, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 4! ** studio

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

are you starting the server when you join the game?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

like player b can see it

#

yeah

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

does the part get created when the server starts?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

no its already spawned there

#

yeah i guess so

#

if i am right

#

i am not that too good at

#

this stuf

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

thats alright, did you place it there?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

yeah

#

its gonna stay there always

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

yeah but you want it to not be there when you rejoin

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

yeah

#

true

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

so you want to rejoin without restarting the server?

#

or you want the server to save that the part is gone

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

yeah

#

i want the server to know that one player touched the part

#

so he can't touch it again

#

only the other players who have not found it

#

let me send you a short clip

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

when chatting with ai might might be better to talk seperately about how you choose to plan certain things before going to another chat about developing, for future reference.

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

okay

#

i been working on this for 2 days already

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:49 PM

#

when I did a bachelors Degree in software we were forced to do a whole paper (2 month) on just planning how a user is going to interact.

You need this right?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:50 PM

#

yes

#

let me show you

#

look this is the clip

#

Tom??

#

thx sassy and potato

wild kiln Jul 5, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

Ah

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

you see

random cosmos Jul 5, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

so when the part has been touched the part is destroyed forever?

wild kiln Jul 5, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

So you want the Points to save and the Part to be removed?

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

yes

#

so if the player a touches the part then the games saves it after he rejoins but then he can't see the part but the other players can

wild kiln Jul 5, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

Okay

#

We can make that work

modern harness Jul 5, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

I will appericate it

wild kiln Jul 5, 2024, 9:54 PM

Would you mind adding me to the Baseplate your working on?
