Why does this happen

[indigo stratus]

So this part of my script for a killstreak type ability works, but once the player dies and their hitvalue leaderstat is destroyed, when it gets readded it doesnt increase their hitvalue when they punch someone but it increases the billboard gui's text value and on top of that for some reason after they die the value on the billboard gui is saved and even though they start with 0 on their billboard, when they hit someone it gets restored to the same amount before (for example if they had 10 hitvalue before they died and then they die and use the ability again and punch someone once the billboard gui's value becomes 11 but the hitvalue doesnt go up at all and stays 0)

Can't rly get your issue, but maybe u modify from client?

[indigo stratus]

might be

[heady vine]

Couldn't comprehend that, can you provide a full script?

[indigo stratus]

this is the full script

and this is the script that removes the intvalues

[heady vine]

Once the player dies, the system doesn't work anymore?

[indigo stratus]

uh

yes

[indigo stratus]

thats what effectively happens yes

only the billboard value increase

[heady vine]

and the value in leaderstats?

[indigo stratus]

doesnt increase

[heady vine]

alright I see

I quite don't get the structure of the script but here's at least two things I have checked: usage of conditional statement or the variable isn't updated

[heady vine]

and another case is that it could be this one, "client-sided"

[indigo stratus]

no it isnt

i viewed it from server perspective

[heady vine]

then it could be those two

[indigo stratus]

maybe

[heady vine]

I'm certain

because

the billboard changes in the server prspective

[indigo stratus]

yes

[heady vine]

so there's no need to worry about client sided, but the int value

[indigo stratus]

yeah well if the problem was client sided the intvalue would update

so its probably something to do with intvalue

[indigo stratus]

wait lemme try something rq

[heady vine]

where is that part that it increases hitvalue?

[indigo stratus]

local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if plr:FindFirstChild("HitValue") then
local HitValue = plr:FindFirstChild("HitValue")
HitValue.Value += 1
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text += 1
humanoid:TakeDamage(12 + (HitValue.Value * 0.25))
end

[heady vine]

nvm I see

try printing that

[indigo stratus]

lemme add a print prompt to check if its something to do with

yeah

ok soooo

[indigo stratus]

it does infact print

the billboard updates according to the first instance of hitvalue whether or not it still exists or not

[heady vine]

yeah it just goes back to the old value

[indigo stratus]

quite the dilemma

i just overwrited the billboardvalue by just making it add 1 instead of equaling the hitvalue

but hitvalue is still a problem since the moveset/ability directly is linked to it

[heady vine]

can you provide a video?

[indigo stratus]

uh

wait a sec

[heady vine]

demonstration at least, I honestly don't know what I'm looking foor

[indigo stratus]

so uh

this is the script before i fixed the billboard problem

before i reset my hitvalue was indeed 2

and after i reset no matter how many times i punched the hitvalue was 0

and the billboard gui kept updating according the the old nonexistent hitvalue for some reason

and yes i checked to see if the old hitvalue was getting destroyed

[sterile ledge]

** You are now Level 6! **

[heady vine]

does the hitvalue get destroyed after the player dies?

[indigo stratus]

yes

[heady vine]

maybe this is the case

[indigo stratus]

what

[heady vine]

you're destroying the hitvalue in client sided

so what happens is that

[indigo stratus]

ohhhh

thats so true

[heady vine]

the server sided gets the "old hitvalue"

[indigo stratus]

yes the fact is that it still exists on the serverside

[heady vine]

but of course there will be a new hitvalue, but it doesn't get that new hitvalue, still the old one

[indigo stratus]

correct?

[heady vine]

yea

[indigo stratus]

alr i can fix it

thx a ton
