Can't find a generated folder in ReplicatedStorage

[ripe forum]

So I have a script that generates some values in replicated storage, with player name as a suffix, and it also generates a script to ServerScriptService, the script it generates in the server script service can't access the values in replicated storage, I tried using wait for child instead of find first chil it said infinite weild possible, I tried waiting 3 seconds at the beginning of the script, the script didn't even work :_: can someone please help? Thanks!

Show script

[ripe forum]

1 second

[silk thorn]

Bruh?

Just do '''lua paste script then '''

[ripe forum]

The script it copies

[ripe forum]

Can you show me how to do that? Syntax?

[silk thorn]

I did

3 of '

Type lua after

Press enter

Paste script

And close it w another 3 '

Anyways if you create an instance on the client only the client can see it also you have to add a bracket when combining text w something else

So you can't just var = "text" .. othervar

It has to be ("text".. othervar")

Only thing you can change on the client that reflects on the server is humanoid stuff like speed or jump power i think

Oh alr in discord, I understood now mb ehm xD, I had to upload it as a file because it was too large, but you dont need to download it, you can just preview it

[ripe forum]

Wdym create an instance on the client? Like in a local script?

[ripe forum]

oh

[silk thorn]

Yes

Anything created in a local script the server can't see

[ripe forum]

Oh, but still how do I fix the problem ;-; can you please help me

[proven ibex]

is this ai?

[proven ibex]

lol lua local Players = game:GetService("Players") local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
and

    local ResetScriptFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
    ResetScriptFolder.Name = "DealtDamageResetScript-" .. Name
    ResetScriptFolder.Parent = ServerScriptService```
in the same script.
i really hope that's not ai, coz if it is yall proper cooked 💀

[proven ibex]

this is the only incorrect thing you said everything else was 👌

;compile lua lua local othervar = " and more text" local var = "text" .. othervar print(var)

[remote matrix]

Program Output

text and more text

.pyrofire | lua | lua-5.4.7 | wandbox.org

[silk thorn]

What! I thought you did need to do that

[proven ibex]

preference 🤷

and sometimes it matters if order matters like doing math operations in a specific order though thats kinda rare to happen ;p

[ripe forum]

Half AI and half not, I made it first then I made some mistakes, so I asked AI for help

[ripe forum]

wdym in the same script, I didn't really understand honestly

Am I cooked rare or medium well?

[proven ibex]

.LocalPlayer only exists on the client not the server, and serverscriptservice is only useful to the server. it wants to be both

[ripe forum]

Ohh, The generating script was in Character Scripts folder if I didn't forget btw

[ripe forum]

So the scripts generates some values in replicated storage, and copies this second script

[ripe forum]

But the problem is that this secnod script can never find the values in replicated stoarge, and I am not sure why or how or whats behind this but it doesn't work at all if I use a wait(#) function

[proven ibex]

you can't vibe code your way out of a http://xyproblem.info gonna have to do it the hard way at that point

[ripe forum]

Oooh, Ye I don't have any guarantee that my code below it will work, but I wanted to fix that issue, I kept searching but couldn't find a soluton so opened a thread here for help. After I fix it, I was going to test and see if there are any other issues, then I would probably be surprised with other issues maybe but then fix them

[ripe forum]

Anyways, let's ignore the code for now, but first, why couldn't it find that folder? As a pro scripter, I guess it's common knowledge for you, right? xD

[ripe forum]

Could it be that when I used wait(#) the code actually ran and it was broken that's why nothing happened?

[proven ibex]

if there are other issues and you're struggling with this one, you're probably going to struggle with those ones too. this is why ai no good.

[proven ibex]

i'm not even going to bother to look further than the script being a server script and a localscript at the same time. all normal logic goes out of the window at that point.

[proven ibex]

and in startercharacterscripts to boot.

[proven ibex]

you can't vibe code your way out of this with ai. either learn how to code https://create.roblox.com/docs/en-us/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals or hire someone #👷︱for-hire. or maybe someone else can help your ai generate better code idk 🤷

[ripe forum]

Alright thank you, also btw remember to be human rules doesn't mean don't use ai but don't spam pinging people for help right? xD
