why cant my script detect the items in my backpack?

[limber herald]

local stove = script.Parent
local clickdetector = stove.ClickDetector
local replicatedstorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
local foodfolder = replicatedstorage.ChefFood

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Cheese") then

        local CheesePizza = foodfolder:WaitForChild("CheesePizza")
        local clone = CheesePizza:Clone()
        clone.Parent = player.Backpack
    else
        print("not working")
    end
end)

basically ill have it so ingredents they have in their inventory they can click on the stove and if they have the certain ingredents needed it gives them another tool but for some reason it wont recognize the tools in my backpack

[bleak egret]

server or local script

[limber herald]

server

does it need to be local script

[bleak egret]

no

is the tool added through local or server script

[limber herald]

local

[bleak egret]

that’s why

[limber herald]

oh

[oblique surge]

any errors? or does it just print "not working"

[limber herald]

waittt

[bleak egret]

make it server

[oblique surge]

oh

[limber herald]

i cant

its a gui

[bleak egret]

why

event

[limber herald]

ughhhhh but like

[bleak egret]

only way to do it

[limber herald]

sad

[limber herald]

wait so local and server scripts cant be compatible with eachother even tho the tools are in the persons backpack?

[ocean walrus]

the tools are in the person's backpack on the client

[limber herald]

ohhhhhhh

ok yea that makes sense

[ocean walrus]

it would be very dangerous if someone could edit the game on their client and have those changes uploaded to the server

[limber herald]

ok yea

[bleak egret]

server cant see things that happen on client

[limber herald]

sorry im kinda new at this

yea that makes total sense

[bleak egret]

use an event

[limber herald]

i dont know why i didnt think of it that way

[bleak egret]

how long have you been scripting for

[limber herald]

4 months

idk why i didnt think of it that way

[bleak egret]

its okay not everyone is perfect!

[limber herald]

so would i make seperate events for each item then have a server script check for the fired event and then give the player the item in that server script?

right?

[bleak egret]

you just need one event

[limber herald]

o

[bleak egret]

when you click the button send over a string with the name of the item and since itll have the player already as an arugment so you can replicate the item to them

if that makes sense

[limber herald]

i think?

[tacit jackal]

can someone help me

[bleak egret]

what

[tacit jackal]

i want network onwership for my game

[bleak egret]

why

[limber herald]

[tacit jackal]

[bleak egret]

[limber herald]

thanks

[tacit jackal]

alr ffinish with @limber herald then you can help me

[limber herald]

make a post dude im closing this when im finsihed

😭

[tacit jackal]

i already did

[calm forge]

** You are now Level 1! **

[bleak egret]

button.Activated:Connect(function()
    event:FireServer(button.Text)
end)

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, item)
    -- clone logic 
end)

yeah like thgat

ignore if it looks weird i just typed it in discord 😭

[limber herald]

so the button text would be the items name?

[calm forge]

** You are now Level 8! **

[bleak egret]

yeah

[limber herald]

ok

[bleak egret]

i mean thats how you have it right?

im assuming

[limber herald]

no

but

i can do that

[bleak egret]

you can change it to button.Name

instead

[limber herald]

yea thats what im gonna do because its imagbuttons

[bleak egret]

yeah thatll work

do you understand though?

[limber herald]

i think

[limber herald]

so like it would take the item as the button text in the second part right

so like item:clone()

the item.parent = player.backpack

then*

[bleak egret]

item is the string

aka the buttonname

and you can use that to find your part

or tool

[limber herald]

yea

so like if item.Name = a child in the folder with the tools then

blah blah blah clone script?

[bleak egret]

whats the .Name for

you old need findfirstchild(item)

only

[limber herald]

oh ok

[bleak egret]

item is a string

[limber herald]

wait im slow

omg

yea

duh

sorry its like 7 am

and i havent slept yet

thanks for being patient

[bleak egret]

its okay

[limber herald]

jesus

[bleak egret]

[limber herald]

[bleak egret]

[limber herald]
