Hello, i have a localscript in a textbutton but for some reason it is not working

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

Any errors?

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

No, the print ("Fired") doesn't even run

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

Ok

#

Change the local script into a normal script

#

and change run context to client

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

Okay but how about the player, how will i be able to get the player viriable?

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

Trust on this

#

Just keep the same code and everything

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:43 PM

#

Alright

#

Thanks

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:43 PM

#

lmk if that was the fix

#

Cuz I think that is the fix

#

But just in case

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:44 PM

#

Wait but the fireclient won't work as i won't have the player variable

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:44 PM

#

Just change the local script

#

Not the server script

#

Legit keep your code the same

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:50 PM

#

rancid plume Bro what are you doing 😭

he did what you told him to do

#

your advice is very vague

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:50 PM

#

He did not

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:50 PM

#

let me take a look

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

radiant tinsel he did what you told him to do

fr

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

It legit isn't

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

rocky flint fr

you dont need to change anything to the server

#

is anything overlapping the button and is the button's "active" property set to true?

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

Step 1. Replace the local script with a normal script
Step 2. Put the runcontext to a client
Step 3. Put the code from the old local script in there

#

That was what I told him

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

oh

#

runcontext

#

right

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

There is nothing wrong with his buttons

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

i still think its unnecesary

#

i never had an issue like this before

#

so i think something is wrong with the ui itself

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

For his scenerio, it is tho

#

You cannot have local scripts in the workspace unless it's a script

#

and scripts (server scripts only) have a special property that can bypass that

#

while remaining client sided

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

radiant tinsel so i think something is wrong with the ui itself

There is nothing wrong with the ui

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

rancid plume You cannot have local scripts in the workspace unless it's a script

OH

#

it was in workspace?

#

mb bro

#

didnt see that

#

i didnt think it was in workspace

#

it's parented to a textbutton

#

so i assumed it would be in startergui

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:54 PM

#

This ss shows it is a surface ui

#

And in the picture you can see the surface ui is currently being rendered, which means it is in the workspace

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

yes i see

#

that's the fix then

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

So all he has to do is replace the local script with a server script

#

and changing the run context to be client sided

#

Thats the entire fix

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:56 PM

#

rancid plume Thats the entire fix

i see

#

could you give me some advice on my post rq if u dont mind

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

rancid plume and changing the run context to be client sided

ohh got it, so in here i don't have to put anything

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

rocky flint ohh got it, so in here i don't have to put anything

change run context to client

#

its in the scrips properties

#

localscripts cannot run in workspace

#

then its good to go

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

I already did

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

radiant tinsel could you give me some advice on my post rq if u dont mind

#

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

What about the fireclient, shouldn't it take the player inside

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

rocky flint What about the fireclient, shouldn't it take the player inside

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:58 PM

rocky flint Apr 19, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

rancid plume Apr 19, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

radiant tinsel Apr 19, 2025, 1:59 PM

#
