Saving the old data problem

[stable mauve]

"I have 2500 gold in my leaderstats at first, and after killing some NPCs, it becomes 2600 on the leaderboard. However, when I leave the game, this script saves the 2500 gold instead of the 2600. Why is this happening?

[vague frigate]

Does the value change to 2600 in a local script or a server script?

LocalScript

Thats why, I had this same problem for a different project. It only started working once I converted it to a server script

[stable mauve]

is that possible with a tool's script

its a free tool i found on the tool box

and its shooting script is localscript

[vague frigate]

Connect the shooting script to a remote event (At the point when they lose 1 health) . Then when that remote event happens deduct or add gold to their stats inside a server script.

i had an error when i tried to use remoteevents, FireClient can only be called from the server

[vague frigate]

Use FireServer?

[stable mauve]

does it work in local script?

[vague frigate]

Yes, FireServer refers to communicating from Client-Side Services to Server-Side Services (Double check that on roblox's forum if you'd like but I believe thats how it works)

[stable mauve]

Okay tysm ill try that

[vague frigate]

Np let me know if that fixes the problem 😁

[stable mauve]

thanks! it worked

[vague frigate]

Thats amazing! Happy I was able to help you!

Good luck on your project!

Hi, sorry i have an issue again

[vague frigate]

Sure, what seems to be your issue?

[stable mauve]

When i put the tool directly in the starter pack it works but when i clone it to my backpack i cant use it why do you think this happening?

[vague frigate]

Instead of cloning it maybe try moving it instead?

[frigid fractal]

should probably do that on the server, not the client.
