i don't want the user to be able to place a bet if they have insufficient funds

[spark trout]

you would need to use a remote function instead of a remote event for this

[naive heath]

how did you know i used a remote function

[spark trout]

because its a good way to validate purchases

unless you meant "how did i know you used a remote event"

i know that because of that :FireServer() in your script

remote function has a completely different syntax

[naive heath]

so i should change betAmount to a remote function

[spark trout]

yes

[naive heath]

is that all?

[spark trout]

no you have to change the script a little to make it work

[naive heath]

oh ok
