how do i convince roblox studio that PlayerScripts is infact a child/member of the player?

[narrow granite]

you saw the title, if you have any questions about the details, shoot

[rain quiver]

Bro what

[narrow granite]

huh?

you want the details?

[rain quiver]

If you're doing this from the server, then it's because Player scripts are only replicated on the client

[narrow granite]

dude i know this

even on client it doesnt work

im aint stupid

[rain quiver]

Yeah

[narrow granite]

if i didint try anything i wouldnt come here

[rain quiver]

Damn bro chill

You'd be surprised at the amount of dumbasses that post here

[narrow granite]

so basicaly i need to disable a script untill the character spawns in (aka clicks a button on the character selection screen) and when i try to make a path to the script (EVEN ON A LOCAL SCRIPT) the output says that Playerscripts ISNT REAL

[rain quiver]

Show me the code where you're trying to get the object

[rain quiver]

Why not just make it a character script?

[narrow granite]

what

[rain quiver]

💀

StarterCharacterScripts

[narrow granite]

dude you understand that Player and character script are diffirent things

[rain quiver]

You're saying you need it to be disabled until the character spawns

[narrow granite]

well or Enable when he spawns

[rain quiver]

But just once

[narrow granite]

also heres the function

function SpawnIn(plr: Player)
    
    if selectedChar then
         
        spawnRE:FireServer(selectedChar)
        plr.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("Client").Enabled = true
        if camera:FindFirstChild("SELECTED CHARACTER") then
            camera["SELECTED CHARACTER"]:Destroy()
        end
        
        camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
        
        gui:Destroy()
    end
end```

[narrow granite]

no not realy

[rain quiver]

Is the plr parameter the local player

Or another client

[narrow granite]

it still fetches the player THAT HAS THE PLAYERSCRIPTS IN THE EXPLORER

RAAAAAAAAA

[rain quiver]

What

I'm asking you if this function is only intended to work for the local player @narrow granite

[narrow granite]

yes it is supposed to work for the local boi

[rain quiver]

Or if you're trying to access the Player scripts of another player that's not the local client

[narrow granite]

the player himselv

[narrow granite]

noep

[rain quiver]

Alr

Try waiting on the player scripts

With WaitForChild

[narrow granite]

like?

waitforchild for PlayerScripts?

good one but i already tried it

[rain quiver]

Ah alr

Uh

Can you maybe show me more code

[narrow granite]

whole local script commin up

[rain quiver]

Could it be that you might not be passing a player as an argument

[narrow granite]

you mean scope?

so

ah foqe

[rain quiver]

bruh

[narrow granite]

what

script bad?

[rain quiver]

how do you expect

to get the player here

where anywhere would the player come from as an argument

[narrow granite]

so add an extra argument?

wait no

add the argument in the SpawnIn fucntion at the end or smth?

[rain quiver]

MouseButton1Click gives you the x and y coordinate

nowhere does it get you the player lmao

[rain quiver]

NO arguments

😭

[narrow granite]

ok mane im kinda tired (idk why) so i dont really understand what ur saying rn

[rain quiver]

ok

[true aurora]

Can I ?

[rain quiver]

you know how functions work right

[true aurora]

Explain ?

[rain quiver]

can I try rq

[true aurora]

Yessir

[rain quiver]

but sure

[narrow granite]

yeah

[rain quiver]

you know what arguments are right

and parameters and that stuff

[narrow granite]

yup

[rain quiver]

alright

[narrow granite]

i call them scopes

is there something wrong with me?

[rain quiver]

that's something very different

scope has to do with local variables

[narrow granite]

ok yeah there is

[rain quiver]

Right now, you're expecting the MouseButton1Click function to give you the player

which is not true

[narrow granite]

yeah but i tried to trigger that function fia button click

[rain quiver]

@true aurora you can explain lol idk hiw to to explain this

[rain quiver]

but why do you think you would get the player as an argument

[true aurora]

Alright

[rain quiver]

what you need to do is make a variable for the player

[true aurora]

@narrow granite

Do you know what is a callback ?

[narrow granite]

kind of

[true aurora]

And do you know how events work ?

[narrow granite]

yeah

but in the hints it said when the GUI button is clicked with M1 btw

[true aurora]

Alright so when there is an event in the game you can some infos right ?

For example

Players.PlayerAdded => Event : a player is Added => you get the player who is added 

Do you get that ?

[narrow granite]

yeah i kind of knew that from the getgo but how do i make it so the script enables when the player is in the map/clicked the spawn button

[true aurora]

I'm going into it

So basically some events give you informations, other dont

For example, child added gives you the child that has been added

But for mouse button 1 click

[narrow granite]

OH WAIT

WAIT A SEC

[true aurora]

You don't get any informations

You get it ?

[narrow granite]

yeah

so i gotta like

Workspace.ChildAdded--...--wait a second
``` uhhhh

how do i specify which Child is added?

wait this is one of these things that are far more complex isnt it?

[rain quiver]

it's not lol

you either do

[narrow granite]

ok whew

[rain quiver]

Instance:WaitForChild("name")

or

If you want to do something whenever any child is added to an instance:

[narrow granite]

kind of tried

[rain quiver]

Instance.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child: Instance)
  print(child.Name)
end)

[narrow granite]

DUDE I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS

[rain quiver]

This will run whenever a new child is added to the instance

[narrow granite]

RIGHT BEFORE YOU SHOWED IT TO ME

[rain quiver]

Can I show you rq what you expect to happen with your SpawnIn() function

[narrow granite]

eh ok

[rain quiver]

local function SpawnIn(plr: Player) -- the ":" is just a type annotation, it doesn't mean you'll actually get a Player object
  print(plr.PlayerScripts) -- would work, *if the plr was a player*, but it's not
end


--mimicking what happens when you connect "SpawnIn" to "MouseButton1Click"
SpawnIn(1,2) -- first parameter is the x coordinate the button was clicked at, the second is the y
--You're trying to change a number into a player, which doesn't work AT ALL

[rain quiver]

^

Events might seem a bit mysterious, but really when you :Connect() a function, it just adds it to a list of functions that are called whenever the event is fired

[narrow granite]

wait the roblox AI was cooking

[rain quiver]

what

[narrow granite]

dude i almost got the awnser

the AI coding thing gave a hint for the function to find the Player

[true aurora]

...

[rain quiver]

you literally just do

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

[narrow granite]

na not that

[rain quiver]

yes that

it works

in a local script

[narrow granite]

wait its not hte same player i need tho? or it is

[rain quiver]

bruh

you said it should only work for the local player

[narrow granite]

sorry mate my brain is quite deepfried, im still standing with the power of determination

[rain quiver]

alr

does that work?

[narrow granite]

wait i was cooking with this

if child.ClassName == "Model"?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE AI COOKED

(it copied and pasted some parts of this script here tho)

holly shit it worked

the roblox autocode ai worked

LETS GOOOOOO

[empty vale]

why didnt u just use character added, executed the code and repeat wait() until character is not nil or whatever and disabled it. but its doesnt matter now that you solved it.
