Leaderstats script thingy, (new to scripting)

[timber ibex]

Im new to scripting and cant figure out why this script wont give the player a point, Thanks.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local leaderstats = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local Score = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Score")
Score.Value = Score.Value + 1
end
end)

Is the script is local or server side?

[timber ibex]

It’s a regular script

I’m using a script, I don’t know when to use a local script yet.

[placid ermine]

yep

u use local script when you want to do something for only one player

server side it's for everyone

so

k im here

put a "Usual script" not local in ur part

and

something like this

    if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local Player = game.Players[Hit.Parent.Name]
        
        Player.leaderstats.Score.Value = Player.leaderstats.Score.Value + 1
    end
end)```

should work

Ok thanks

Sorry to bother, you don’t have to answer but if it was a kill brick instead why does that have a regular script instead of local? Is it because everything sees the players death or something?

[placid ermine]

havent checked something like this but the local side it's a side for one player only if you try to do some datastores or something like leaderstats it will not give anything or save anything cuz it's only was on a localside

[timber ibex]

Ok thanks

I tried with a local script and it still didn’t work, but I think I found the real reason, I think it’s because the leaderstats folder is in my player not the character that’s touching the part.

Can you confirm this?

[placid ermine]

no

bro dont try do server side things on local side

[placid ermine]

you do this script with server script

[placid ermine]

and you can find players leaderstats just by touched function

look at the script i sent
