austere kiln
in a TD game in roblox, i have two different towers in a towers folder in replicated storage, each one has a configurations folder named config, which it has the intvalues "Damage", "Range" and "Cooldown", however, the "Tower" local script in server script service makes all towers have the same properties (damage, cooldown, etc) can someone help fix it? (each config folder is indiviual and is inside each tower)

Local script in server script service?
Local scripts are for client behaviour and thus don’t run on the server (including ServerScriptService)
What are you intending to do with the config values?
austere kiln
im intending to give different towers different properties
like firerate (cooldown)
damage
and range
the local script tower is inside a normal "main" script in the server script service
rancid mist
Mk and what’s the actual issue? You have different config folders in each tower right?
I’m not quite sure I understood your issue properly so forgive me for asking
austere kiln
Mk and what’s the actual issue? You have different config folders in each tower ...
yea, but in the game all towers have the same properties despite the script and different values in each intvalue
rancid mist
yea, but in the game all towers have the same properties despite the script and ...
Which side are you reading the config from for use? And which for changing?
austere kiln
what im saying is, for example, each tower has different range value but the script still gives all towers the same range (and dmg)
rancid mist
Which side are you reading the config from for use? And which for changing?
As in client/server
austere kiln
Which side are you reading the config from for use? And which for changing?
client
tropic capeBOT
** You are now Level 1! **
rancid mist
Both client?
austere kiln
yea
rancid mist
And where are they not changing? Server?
austere kiln
exactly
rancid mist
If a client manipulates a piece of information on their own side, the server cannot see it unless replicated
Are you changing tower values because of upgrades etc?
austere kiln
so i must change it in server side?
austere kiln
Are you changing tower values because of upgrades etc?
still didnt make upgrades
just the base properties
rancid mist
still didnt make upgrades
If you’re trying to change the towers Config values then you should change it on the server side
austere kiln
ill check if it works
rancid mist
And for upgrades you can use remote events to send information to the server
austere kiln
doesnt seem to work...
this is the range of one of them
and the range of the other
but in game they attack from the same distance
(same with damage and cooldown)
rancid mist
Print the values that you receive from the config values
austere kiln
k
austere kiln
where should i put it? im kinda using a tutorial for this stuff
austere kiln
Just before target.Humanoid-TakeDamage
like this?
rancid mist
Aye
rancid mist
Try for the range too
austere kiln
still nothing
i have a feeling the solution is gonna be simple, and im gonna feel dum
rancid mist
Put a print at the start of .Attack
tropic capeBOT
** You are now Level 10! **
rancid mist
And see if it’s even called
And one in .Spawn
Before you call coroutine.wrap
Just print anything and see if it shows
austere kiln
nothing, i guess its not called
rancid mist
Probably ur issue then
Where are you calling .Spawn?
Local script in server script service still?
Change it to a server script
austere kiln
Where are you calling .Spawn?
its all inside "Tower"

** You are now Level 2! **
austere kiln
1-53 and 53-end
austere kiln
i may have it in gamecontroller script, hold on
rancid mist
Does the tutorial show towers working?
austere kiln
(gamecontroller script ahs some towers stuff)
1-52 and 52-103 and 103- end
they do work
rancid mist
I see the issue
austere kiln
oh?
rancid mist
1s opening my door
austere kiln
oh ok
rancid mist
Ok so
Line 50
Ur not actually using the Tower module, u have repeated code in a different script for placeholding
Idk if u followed the tutorial properly or not
So ur missing the attack call
austere kiln
so what should i put to fix it?
rancid mist
Ok so
First at the top where u define local variables
You need to reference the Tower module by using require(game.LocationOfTowerModule)
Oh wait
Is game controller client sided?
austere kiln
hold on im checking
rancid mist
I think u should go over the tutorial again
austere kiln
script here, i think it is client sided
rancid mist
Im not sure why you’d have a Tower module but not be using it and instead using placeholder tolders
austere kiln
I think u should go over the tutorial again
i did that twice lmao
austere kiln
can i send a small vid of how it works?
rancid mist
Send the tutorial and I’ll see if it’s shambolic or if you missed smthn
rancid mist
Where are you up to
austere kiln
i was following it, i realized it wasnt working at 19:50
rancid mist
ok i skimmed the tutorial
austere kiln
found something weird?
rancid mist
tutorial seems like just everything you've typed
go in to Main
in serverscriptservice
austere kiln
k
rancid mist
i think you missed the event implementation for spawning a tower
1s
u already sent main
austere kiln
yea
rancid mist
ok yeah
tropic capeBOT
** You are now Level 3! **
austere kiln
can you screenshot the line i missed on vid?
rancid mist
1s
austere kiln
k
austere kiln
uh?
rancid mist
i timestamped it
austere kiln
in main?
rancid mist
so if you click it it'll go to where u need
rancid mist

28:08
if it doesnt take u to it
rancid mist
if you need, rewatch the Placing Towers section
i think u may of skipped over the event implementation
that's ur issue
austere kiln
alr
austere kiln
ping me if not
towers spawn normally like before, but their range, damage and firerate are still shared...
