this is strength
leaderstats and the gui numbers arent the same and i got no idea why

Instead of “activated” try “MouseButton1Click”
sand elk
activated should be fine
frozen hare
theres more problems
sand elk
do i need two different remote events?
show the leaderstats script, especially if this is the script that works as intended
crimson wedge
yea activated wasnt it
crimson wedge
show the leaderstats script, especially if this is the script that works as inte...
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
Coins.Name = "Coins"
Coins.Value = 0
Coins.Parent = leaderstats
Strength = Instance.new("IntValue")
Strength.Name = "Strength"
Strength.Value = 0
Strength.Parent = leaderstats
end)
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Coins)
Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = Coins
end)
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Strength)
Player.leaderstats.Strength.Value = Strength
end)
i know im doing smth supid and obvious i just have no idea what
sand elk
the problem is how you are handling the events
sand elk
you are not differentiating between adding the strenght and coins
frozen hare
(hes a professional, im not)
crimson wedge
Let crusty help you ima go take a nap
alrr
sand elk
(hes a professional, im not)
im more noob than you trust
frozen hare
im more noob than you trust
I dont know how to disable backpack
crimson wedge
you are not differentiating between adding the strenght and coins
in the leaderstats?
crimson wedge
i thought i did
with the
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Strength)
Player.leaderstats.Strength.Value = Strength
what am i missing?
icy basalt
I dont know how to disable backpack
core gui heh.
sand elk
in the leaderstats?
yes in the leaderstats, either you need two different remote events (one for strength, and one for coins). or you need to use the arguments you passed in your one remote event in an if statement to for the script to know what to add
frozen hare
fire the client in the server script to update the text to the current value of whatever
sand elk
with the
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Strength)
Play...
basically the fix im suggesting is:
- in your leaderstats script get rid of one of your remote event functions
- change the name of the parameter in the if statement to something like makes more sense, like "stat"
oh crap hold up the arguement is a num value
nvm forget what i said just use two different remote events
one for coins one for strength
crimson wedge
when i made two remote events
sand elk
lol
crimson wedge
the strength button didnt even work
sand elk
make sure they have different names
crimson wedge
yea i did
sand elk
try it again and we will fix that
crimson wedge
alr ill try it again
wintry cobaltBOT
** You are now Level 6! **
frozen hare
nvm
crimson wedge
okay so now the strength button doesnt even update leaderstats
but the gui still works
frozen hare
show explorer rq
sand elk
show code + explorer
crimson wedge
sand elk
show leaderstats code
sand elk
sick try it then
crimson wedge
LMAO
ARE WE DEADASS
ITS CUZ I DIDNT WRITE THIS SHIT
local RemoteEvent2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent2
actually gonna kms bro
frozen hare
Show whole starterGui
crimson wedge
its working now jesus christ
sand elk
certified scripting moment
crimson wedge
Show whole starterGui
alr
frozen hare
Bro helped us 🥀
frozen hare
Dont we all
sand elk
frozen hare
I genuinely would have never seen that
frozen hare
but dont you have output to detect that for you?
crimson wedge
but dont you have output to detect that for you?
it didnt say that
sand elk
i started learning yesterday
gl on the journey then, doing good for first starting
crimson wedge
luv bobox
sand elk
lmk if you want extra context to why your first soluton didnt work
cause i dont think i explained it well
crimson wedge
wdym my first solution
sand elk
like in the first script you shown before we brought in the extra remote event
frozen hare
i started learning yesterday
Just dont make a 4K high resolution Ray tracing Gta 6 copy right on the start of ur journey
sand elk
cause there is a way to do it with just one, I just thought the second was simpler to understand
frozen hare
Chris
crimson wedge
yo
sand elk
no, probably faster, but dont worry about it too much
frozen hare
Goodluck. You think you are done
crimson wedge
no, probably faster, but dont worry about it too much
yea then having two is easier for me to visualize
frozen hare
good idea
sand elk
wait till he learns about OOP and meta tables
frozen hare
wait till he learns about OOP and meta tables
Bro ray tracing
crimson wedge
quick question tho
sand elk
?
crimson wedge
frozen hare
uh
crimson wedge
tf is this bs
crimson wedge
it wont let me put an outline cuz i have a UIcorner
frozen hare
yk
frozen hare
it wont let me put an outline cuz i have a UIcorner
UIaspectRatio thing. it will change its size fitting to your resolution
thats why
so X and Y both get scaled at the same time
remove it and then you can give it different values to X and Y
you can add the ratio thing back later
sand elk
its on the border stuff tho, hover over the icon and it should say a messagem or does it just say its cause of the ui corner?
sand elk
show what it looks like in explorer
crimson wedge
if i delete corner it shows the outline but it looks so ugly without corner
crimson wedge
frozen hare
hm
sand elk
oh instead of doing border mode, add a UIStroke object
to the button
Ui stroke is a built in object that gives a border to its parent, and will avoid the whole interference with the ui corner object
ex
crimson wedge
i added it
frozen hare
ive never had problems with ui corners
crimson wedge
dont see it tho?
frozen hare
yessir
sand elk
not contextual
epik, cause i have no idea what that means
does contextual mean it wont work if something is already messing with borders?
frozen hare
epik, cause i have no idea what that means
contextual = your text gets a stroke (literally) and border means the border of ur label
gets a stroke
frozen hare
what
sand elk
oh weird, i was just wondering bc i had it on a frame and it didnt make a difference
frozen hare
OHH WAIT SO I CAN ADD BORDER TO THE NUMBERS
u mean stroke/outline
frozen hare
oh weird, i was just wondering bc i had it on a frame and it didnt make a differ...
yeah thats usually bc its contextual
just do border next time
it had me confused for weeks
crimson wedge
yes thank u bro
sand elk
yes thank u bro
is that everything for now?
crimson wedge
well just one more question for now
when i load the game it says label until i click the button
crimson wedge
0
frozen hare
then type 0 in it
sand elk
in the explorer just set the text property of what you want the default to be
in that case 0 then
frozen hare
listen to Crusty 🔥
crimson wedge
and then what if i want it to be what it was at before i left
do i need the save thing for that
sand elk
and then what if i want it to be what it was at before i left
that would need saves yeah
frozen hare
data storiiiing
sand elk
chatgpt fumbles almost everywhere
sand elk
true, just annoying in the hands of someone who doesnt know anything about scripting
frozen hare
yes
they start relying on errors
basically same as tuts
youll only know how to do whatever it is about, nothing else
Im off now
gn gang
sand elk
gn
clear lichen
remotevent:FireServer(100000000000)
frozen hare
what the fuck
clear lichen
ez game
crimson wedge
@sand elk you still here?
wintry cobaltBOT
** You are now Level 8! **
crimson wedge
i got a question
sand elk
<@579064372471529492> you still here?
yo
frozen hare
What problem do we have
frozen hare
Ill tp back to sleep then cya
sand elk
lol
sand elk
there is a separate property for text size
that is just the size of the ui object as a whole
crimson wedge
oh im dumb
frozen hare
Ur learning, ur not dumb
sand elk
w quote
frozen hare
okay so now i have the VERY basics of this
Yessir
crimson wedge
is it possible
to make the map untouchable
cuz i keep clicking on it instead of my ui
crimson wedge
sad
sand elk
cuz i keep clicking on it instead of my ui
uhh try
in the home tab unselect the select option
if not then idk there is no other way
crimson wedge
should i do a ui upgrade thing or something on the map where u walk into it and its an upgrade store
sand elk
crimson wedge
like which one is simpler to learn
frozen hare
Map cuz then youll learn more
sand elk
fax
crimson wedge
like how do i make a ui pop up once i stand over a certain area
sand elk
make a part, when player touches part, open gui
just do that, but like, in code
and you got that
frozen hare
Use Touched and TouchEnded
But I recommend proximity prompts
Anyways im off
Fr now
Cya
sand elk
bai bai
sand elk
cuz its specific for the person standing on it
im pretty sure that should work, like 75% sure
sand elk
cause my original idea was doing on the server and sending a remote event, but your idea makes more sense
so go for that
crimson wedge
a okay
so
what kind of gui would it be
if it has to pop up
oh wait im dumb
would it be a text box
then inside of the box there will be text buttons to actually buy stuff
@sand elk
wait textbox and textlabel look the exact same does it matter which one i use?
sand elk
what kind of gui would it be
just a normal gui, with the shop inside of it
text box is a text label that the player can interact with and type in
like inserting a password as an example
crimson wedge
ahh so id be using a text label for the actual frame of the ui
then inside the text label ill put text buttons
sand elk
ahh so id be using a text label for the actual frame of the ui
put everything inside a screen gui, then your script will enable and disable this gui
sand elk
ahh so id be using a text label for the actual frame of the ui
and use a frame, for the frame
crimson wedge
oh so this ui should be in a completely separate screen gui
sand elk
yes, generally I would have basically every menu that has a different function from the rest have its own gui
crimson wedge
crimson wedge
yes, generally I would have basically every menu that has a different function f...
smart
sand elk
yeah
like that
its so you can enable the guis you want on screen only when you want them to be on screen
instead of having to disable each individual frame or button inside of it
crimson wedge
okay so its just to save myself a headache
sand elk
a big one yes
crimson wedge
ohh so the frame is the actual screen that they will see
and inside the frame i put buttons
sand elk
yuh
sand elk
1 line is better than 0
crimson wedge
true
sand elk
step one is to detect when the player has touched the part
sand elk
Use Touched and TouchEnded
using these events
crimson wedge
okay wait so i need to make it so when you step on it it enables the frame
o yea that should prob be first step
sand elk
the gui, yes
crimson wedge
okay so
this is what i have so far
okay it didnt work
😭
didnt expect it to tbh
idrk what im doin
sand elk
is the touched event not working?
crimson wedge
is the touched event not working?
well uh
this aint much of a touch event
maybe u see the vision
im completely wrong but u see what i was tryna do
sand elk
ok so two, small ish, medium sized problems
first remove the if statement, and you want to connect the .Touched event to a function
second you are just trying to access the shop screen gui incorrectly
the correct order should look like
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ShopScreenGui
then you can enable that
crimson wedge
hm
so why do u have to go thru the players
and not just go directly to the gui
ohh
cuz its specifically accessing it for them
sand elk
cuz its specifically accessing it for them
yes starter gui is the thing that is being replicated to the client when the player joins the game
sand elk
which means it isnt representative if what the gui is for the player at any given time
and local player is a cool thing you can do in local scripts that will basically go directly to the player the script is running in
then you can go to the player gui from the player object LocalPlayer gives
sand elk
yes
crimson wedge
ok ok
sand elk
but only local scripts can use it
because the server is like, the whole server
and stuff
crimson wedge
the correct order should look like
```lua
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Sh...
i understand why this is how it is now
what i dont get is the touched events
ive only done like one and it was with a tutorial
sand elk
you want to connect the event to a function, you did it before
and it will fire everytime something touched the part
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print("Part has been touched")
end)
although something you will run into is that the touched event fires everytime anything touches the part
not only the player
so you will need an if statement inside of it to check if a player has touched it
sand elk
kk
crimson wedge
so why do i put hit there
clear lichen
an event is used for you to tell the computer that when something happens proceed with the function it connects to
the function within an event contains arguments that are useful for what theyre trying to do
sand elk
so why do i put hit there
hit is an argument given by the .Touched event that gives you what touched the part
clear lichen
it doesnt necessarily need to be called hit either its a variable name
crimson wedge
would it be the same as putting touch or touched
sand elk
would it be the same as putting touch or touched
yes, hit is just what i see it being called the most, but do what makes the most sense to you
sand elk
check if the CanTouch property of the part in enabled
sand elk
oh wait, check your variables
sand elk
shop brick is most definitely not the workspace
clear lichen
whats the code now
clear lichen
where is this script located
sand elk
Then yeah put it as a server script
I think .Touched is wonky with anchored parts locally
and you will just need a remote event to enable the gui
@crimson wedge
sand elk
the remote event will be fired inside the function
sand elk
for now just copy and paste the code to a server script
crimson wedge
i just moved it to server script
sand elk
does it work?
crimson wedge
nope
sand elk
also you dont need to reference your script, especially not in your context, but if you ever do in the future you can just use the "script" keyword
script is always equal to the script its in
and post the new script
crimson wedge
ahh so i could just put the script instead of shopscript
sand elk
yes, but delete it, cause you dont need it
sand elk
send new screenshot
crimson wedge
not much has changed
jsut deleted first line
was i supposed to do something more?
crimson wedge
ahh
sand elk
ok yeah, so the reason why it wasnt working on the local script is because the part was anchored
and theres a whole different reason why, but sick
now we need
and if statement
which is step 2
that checks if the thing that touched it is a player
crimson wedge
so what about this if statement is wrong
im checking if its being touched
and if it is then it enables the screengui
sand elk
the if statement goes inside of the function
also this is where the touch parameter you made comes in
you want to check if what touched the part is a player, for funsies see what happens when you print touch
it will give you a better idea of what it does
crimson wedge
no yea i get what it does
its just the code thats tripping me up
i cant think of a way to check if a humanoid is touching it
only thing coming to mind is like,
if ShopBrick.Touched.Humanoid == true then
game.ShopScreenGui.enabled == true
but i dont think itll be another if statement
sand elk
but you can get the parent of the thing thats touching it, and from there we can see if the humanoid exists
wintry cobaltBOT
** You are now Level 12! **
sand elk
basically your if statement will look like
if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
.parent will be the player if its the player who touched it
sand elk
and from the player we can get to the humanoid to see if it exists
clear lichen
this if statement is completely wrong
i think we need to take a step back here and talk about that
clear lichen
local function blah(arg)
print'hi'
end
this is a function
local function blah(arg)
print'hi'
end
part.Touched:Connect(blah)
this makes it so when part is touched the function blah runs
part.Touched:Connect(function(arg)
print'hi'
end
this is the same thing except we cant reference blah, it just automatically is set up for us
does that make sense
shopbrick.Touched isnt something you can check like a bool value
moreover the way you wrote it it will only run once at the start of the game and never again
thats why we connect the touched event, so it fires whenever someone touches the part
also, there is a difference between = and ==. we use = when declaring something, and == when checking it
if this == true then
versus part.Color = blue
crimson wedge
ohh
okay so
me doing
ShopBrick.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
is creating the function
then i wanna call on it
for the if statement
is that right?
sand elk
kinda? wording is interesting, you are just using the given parameter from the .Touched event in your if statement
also calling a function has a different meaning than what you are intending here I think, it means you are triggering a function to run, which is being doing automatically here
the function you defined is being called every time something touches the part
then .Touched gives us what touched it every time, so we can use that to do whatever code we want with it
crimson wedge
hm
wintry cobaltBOT
** You are now Level 9! **
sand elk
to complete the if statement
crimson wedge
oh
sand elk
line 7 is fine
sand elk
yeah just make sure everything is indented correctly, tab lines 5 & 6
and throw a print in there to see if it is working correctly
sand elk
guess
sand elk
yes, but how
we are on the server, and the server doesnt have access to the player's gui
sand elk
Guis are ran exclusively on the local side of things, aka you cant edit a player's gui from the server
crimson wedge
what so we need to make a local script?
sand elk
yes
crimson wedge
and put it in server script?
sand elk
no
remote event
fire it to the local script
and the local script will enable the gui
crimson wedge
feel like im missing something here
im making a local script
but not putting it in sever script service
sand elk
no
crimson wedge
then where am i putting it
sand elk
server script service is for server scripts only, basically its only job
bc our script is handling ui, put it somewhere in starter gui, probably within the shop gui itself
crimson wedge
alr so thats created
but before we move onto the local
this
the next step after confirming its a humanoid is opening the gui
sand elk
fire the remote event, with the player as an arguement
sand elk
then where am i putting it
these are generally where local scripts go, besides replicated first for loading screens
starter gui for gui stuff
starter character scripts (inside starter player) for anything relating to the in game character in the workspace, like animations, this is because scripts here are replicated to the player's character itself, and refreshing everytime the character dies
and starter player scripts (also inside starter player) for everything else, like logic ran on the client, or camera stuff
crimson wedge
could u elaborate on firing the remote event
sand elk
could u elaborate on firing the remote event
do you know how they work?
crimson wedge
nope
sand elk
A yt video could probably explain it better but ill try
The client and server are separate, so normally they cant really communicate with one another
but with the use of remote events, we can send information from one side to the other
its similar to how events work
so a test example, lets say when the player presses a button, I want a part to move on the workspace
The button pressing has to be done on the client because its a gui element, and the part moving has to be done on the server so everyone in the game can see it
so we set up a signal on the server that looks like
-- Server Script
remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
--move part
end)
Then on the client we can trigger the event, aka sending the signal that the server is waiting for
-- local script
remoteEvent.FireServer()
The remote event itself is an object that usually goes in Replicated Storage, this is because everything in replicated storage is replicated to both the client and server, so both places can have access to it
Any questions before I go into the smaller stuff
crimson wedge
hmmmm
im rereading this til i full understand
okay so
we create the remoteEvent on the server script
then fire it using the local script
sand elk
think about it as a function more, we create the function on the server, and then calling it from the client
sand elk
think about it as a function more, we create the function on the server, and the...
this does work in reverse order aswell, we can create functions on the client, and call then from the server
crimson wedge
then on the local script in the shopscreengui i fire it
sand elk
you are firing it from the server to the local script
because the function is enabling the gui
and you only want that to happen when the player is touching the shop part
so when the player touches shop part, fire the remote event
crimson wedge
i feel like the termonology is messing me up
im making the event on the server script, on the local script im calling that event
sand elk
yeah its kind backwards, calling a function is telling the function to execute the code inside of it
defining a function is the code we want to run when the function is called on
-- defining the function
local function myFunction()
end
-- calling the function
myFunction()
just think about it in the context of remote events, we are defining a function on one side, then calling it on the other
the function we defined is the code enabling the gui, and we are calling it on the server
crimson wedge
```lua
-- defining the function
local function myFunction()
end
-- calling the...
yes good this is what i was meaning
now a question is
where do we define it
sand elk
-- local script - defining the function
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
enableGui
end)
-- server script - calling the function
remoteEvent:FireClient(player)
by that i mean
sand elk
where do we define it
both the server and the client needs to have access to it, so we define it in both scripts
crimson wedge
i meant define it as in
where in my code
at 2
or at 6
since its a function
sand elk
both would work, but 2 makes more sense, there is no need to redefine it everytime
This is the video I watched to learn remote events, or you can try the roblox documentation if you are still confused on parts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxBldFKWaTc&list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3WKkVHnadvhOOjz04AuMYAf&index=5
