Side notes

–Make sure that your game is set up like mine, with all objects added in – Make sure FilteringEnabled is turned on – Make sure that you make your own animations and set your animation IDs to your IDs as you cannot currently take someone else’s animations!

— Leaderboard code which goes inside ServerScriptService, optional to include, you can add your own if you want but bear in mind the gun won’t work unless you have some sort of leaderboard with a Kills and Wipeouts stat

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new(“IntValue”,player)
leaderstats.Name = “leaderstats”

local kills = Instance.new(“IntValue”,leaderstats)
kills.Name = “Kills”
kills.Value = 0

local wipeouts = Instance.new(“IntValue”,leaderstats)
wipeouts.Name = “Wipeouts”
wipeouts.Value = 0

— Data saving code goes here if you need it
