Player.ChildAdded script, to add stats not working - technoguyx - 09-04-2012
I'm trying to add two IntegerValues to the (only - SP game) player's Stats object, but it doesn't seem to work unless I run the script manually with the right-click menu. I've Enabled it, and tried it under World and Players, yet nothing happens. It yields no errors.
I'd appreciate it if someone could check this and tell me if anything's wrong.
Code:
link(game.Players.ChildAdded, function(p)
if p.Type == "Player" then
local score = create("IntegerValue")
score.Name = "Score"
local hiscore = create("IntegerValue")
hiscore.Name = "Hi-Score"
score.Parent = p.Stats
hiscore.Parent = p.Stats --*nothing* happens after all this. Can't even see values in leaderboard.
end
_G.score = function(a) --attempting to use these globals tells me the script tried to reference nil, presumably due to player not being defined.
if p.Stats.Score then
local lescore = p.Stats.Score.Value
local lehiscore = p.Stats["Hi-Score"].Value
lescore = lescore + a
if lescore > lehiscore then
lehiscore = lescore
end
end
end
_G.reset = function()
if p.Stats.Score then
p.Stats.Score.Value = 0
end
end

The thing is, scripts don't run once you finish editing them, or when you select "Enabled". The latter is a bit annoying and should be changed in my opinion. To get it to work, you have to right-click it and select "Run" or create a new instance of the script, either by saving and reloading/publishing and playing the game or cutting and pasting the script object.

I've tried that before posting this, but nothing happened. :/ Gotta check again now.

Just to make sure, are you adding the player after running the script?
And when you load a game in the editor, scripts won't run until you click the play button.

Now everything's working fine, thank you c:
