ROBLOX GUI/Leaderboard stats - roblox

Im trying to get data to show from a PlayersGui onto the leaderboard but nothing seems to work, i have asked on the forums but cant seem to get the help i need.
Here is my current script, can someone tell me what is wrong/what i am missing.
(it doesnt show up the leaderboard, just my name)
local Settings = require(script.Parent.Settings)
script.Parent = game.ServerScriptService

function onHumanoidDied(humanoid, player)
local stats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if stats ~= nil then
local deaths = stats:findFirstChild(Settings.LeaderboardSettings.DeathsName)
if deaths then
deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1
end
-- do short dance to try and find the killer
if Settings.LeaderboardSettings.KOs then
local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
end
end
end
function onPlayerRespawn(property, player)
-- need to connect to new humanoid
if property == "Character" and player.Character ~= nil then
local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
local p = player
local h = humanoid
if Settings.LeaderboardSettings.WOs then
humanoid.Died:connect(function() onHumanoidDied(h, p) end )
end
end
end
function getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
-- returns the player object that killed this humanoid
-- returns nil if the killer is no longer in the game
-- check for kill tag on humanoid - may be more than one - todo: deal with this
local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")
-- find player with name on tag
if tag ~= nil then
local killer = tag.Value
if killer.Parent ~= nil then -- killer still in game
return killer
end
end
return nil
end
function handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
if killer ~= nil then
local stats = killer:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if stats ~= nil then
local kills = stats:findFirstChild(Settings.LeaderboardSettings.KillsNames)
if kills then
if killer ~= player then
kills.Value = kills.Value + 1

Try putting this inside the function "handleKillCount":
function handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
local findkiller = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
local killer = game.Players[findKiller.Value]
if killer ~= nil then
local stats = killer:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if stats ~= nil then
local kills = stats:findFirstChild(Settings.LeaderboardSettings.KillsNames)
if kills then
if killer ~= player then
kills.Value = kills.Value + 1
else
kills.Value = kills.Value - 1
end
else
return
end
end
end

Roblox Functions are running 20+ times

I seem to be having an issue of every time I want to pass a function when an event happens such as a Humanoid.Died() or a BindableEvent it runs the function 20+ times, also adding to an IntegerValue that many times as well. I have tried debounces, BindableEvents, connection:Disconnect(), etc. Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing?
Updated original code:
function module.damageHumanoid(attacker, player, humanoid, damage)
local connection
local debounce = false
connection = humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
connection:Disconnect()
module.onDeath(player)
end
end)
if player:FindFirstChild("damage") == nil then
newFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
newFolder.Name = "damage"
newFolder.Parent = player
end
if newFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(attacker)) == nil then
record = Instance.new("IntValue")
record.Name = tostring(attacker)
record.Parent = newFolder
end
if record.Value >= 100 then -- sanity check
else
record.Value = record.Value + damage
end
return humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
end
Which triggers this code:
function module.onDeath(player)
if player:FindFirstChild("damage") ~= nil then
local folder = player:WaitForChild("damage")
local contents = folder:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(contents) do
local item = folder[tostring(v)]
damages[item.Name] = item.Value
end
end
local debounce = false
if not debounce then
debounce = true
module.handleKill(damages)
end
end
This is the sword script's function:
function Blow(Hit)
if not Hit or not Hit.Parent or not CheckIfAlive() or not ToolEquipped then
return
end
local RightArm = Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm") or Character:FindFirstChild("RightHand")
if not RightArm then
return
end
local RightGrip = RightArm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
if not RightGrip or (RightGrip.Part0 ~= Handle and RightGrip.Part1 ~= Handle) then
return
end
local character = Hit.Parent
if character == Character then
return
end
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid or humanoid.Health == 0 then
return
end
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if player and player == Player then
return
end
UntagHumanoid(humanoid)
TagHumanoid(humanoid, Player)
module.damageHumanoid(plur, player, humanoid, Damage)
end
So I guess the way I was trying to use debounce isn't correct anymore. I referred to the Roblox documentation and found this: https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/scripts/debounce
If anyone would like to know what ended up working for me here it is:
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
if not humanoid:GetAttribute("Killed") then
humanoid:SetAttribute("Killed", true)
module.onDeath(player)
task.wait(10)
humanoid:SetAttribute("Killed", true)
end
end)

How to fix: attempt to index nil with

Sound = script.Parent.Sound
Image = script.Parent.ScreenGui
Ready = true
function onTouch(t)
local a = t.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if a ~= nil and Ready == true then
Ready = false
local b = Image:Clone()
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(a.Parent.Name)
b.Parent = player.PlayerGui
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
wait(2)
b:remove()
wait(1)
Ready = true
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch())
Error: Workspace.Part.Script:5: attempt to index nil with 'Parent' - Server - Script:5
Ah very simple issue
Sound = script.Parent.Sound
Image = script.Parent.ScreenGui
Ready = true
function onTouch(t)
local a = t.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if a ~= nil and Ready == true then
Ready = false
local b = Image:Clone()
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(a.Parent.Name)
b.Parent = player.PlayerGui
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
wait(2)
b:remove()
wait(1)
Ready = true
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
Omit the braces on the last line, because you were invoking the function onTouch with no parameters, now Connect invokes it with the part parameter, simple fix. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/BasePart/Touched

Descendantadded not firing?

im trying to make it so that the enemy moves to the sound value parent's position but descendantadded is not firing, i added a little print thingy on the if statement for soundvalue but it doesnt print.
local debounce = false
local prevpath = nil
workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(sound)
--for i,sound in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if sound.Name == "Soundvalue" and sound:IsA("StringValue") then
print("Founded")
local hrp = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso")
local ischasing = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Ischasing")
if ischasing.Value == false then
if not debounce then
debounce = true
if prevpath ~= nil then
prevpath:Destroy()
end
if sound.Parent and sound.Parent:IsA("BasePart") then
print("aaaaa")
local path = game:GetService("PathfindingService"):CreatePath()
path:ComputeAsync(hrp.Position, sound.Parent.Position)
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
prevpath = path
for i,waypoint in pairs(waypoints) do
if ischasing.Value == false then
script.Parent.Enemy:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
script.Parent.Enemy.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
end
debounce = false
end
end
end
--end
end)

The NPC follows the part but when i go near the NPC they leave the part and start going to random directions

So i'm trying to make an npc move to a part when i click on the npc, when i clicked on it all seemed well until i went near the npc, at that point it left the part and started moving to random directions. Is there something wrong?
Script:
local value = script.Parent.FollowSurvivor
local value2 = workspace.Values.MoveToValue
function findNearestTorso(pos)
local list = game.Workspace:children()
local torso = nil
local dist = 1000
local temp = nil
local human = nil
local temp2 = nil
for x = 1, #list do
temp2 = list[x]
if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso")
human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
torso = temp
dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
end
end
end
end
return torso
end
while true do
wait(0.5)
local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.Torso.Position)
if target ~= nil then
if value.Value == true then
script.Parent.Zombie:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
end
if value.Value == false then
script.Parent.Zombie:MoveTo(workspace.MoveToPart.Position)
end
end
end
This script gets the nearest humanoid and goes towards it. When you walked next to it, it found your humanoid and it started following you.

How do I change a value in the leaderstats via touching a part? (Roblox)

Here's the error and what I've tried.
Error: Workspace.Part.Script:4: attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats'
My code:
Making Leaderstats:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local ls = Instance.new("Model")
ls.Name = "leaderstats"
ls.Parent = plr
local m = Instance.new("IntValue")
m.Name = "Stars"
m.Value = 0
m.Parent = ls
end)
Touch Code:
local collected = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if collected == false then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Stars.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Stars.Value + 1
end
collected = true
end)
A server script would suit your need better. In a localscript, the change would only appear for the player. Also, it's better practice to use the Players service offered by Roblox. Here's an example:
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local collected = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(partTouched)
if partTouched.Parent:IsA('Model') and partTouched.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and partTouched:IsA('BasePart') then -- Is this a player? If so, then..
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(partTouched.Parent)
if collected == false then
player.leaderstats.Stars.Value += 1 -- shorter syntax
end
collected = true
--script.Parent:Destroy() optional if this part won't be used again.
end
end)
If you're planning to use this for many parts, using a central ModuleScript would save you lots of changing things back and forth: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/ModuleScript
