[radiant cliff]

I have made some code and ive checked it lots of times but it just wont work. Everthing that is in stats in replicated storage is a number value but when I change the multiplication it still acts as if it was 1
local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points
local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS
local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu
while wait(1) do
Points.Value = (Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value
end

[arctic robin]

please change the code to lua format using three `

[radiant cliff]

How?

[quick crypt]

** You are now Level 6! **

[arctic robin]

like this

[radiant cliff]

'local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points
local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS
local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu
while wait(1) do
Points.Value = (Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value
end

[arctic robin]

three `

at both ends

[radiant cliff]

local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu while wait(1) do Points.Value = (Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value end

ahh

local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu while wait(1) do Points.Value = (Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value end

[radiant cliff]

local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points
local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS
local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu
while wait(1) do
    Points.Value = (Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value
end

[arctic robin]

good

now what is the problem

[radiant cliff]

the multiplication wont work

everything else works

[arctic robin]

hmm

did you make sure it's on a global script and not a local one?

[radiant cliff]

Watch the vid

[radiant cliff]

yes

[regal dragon]

@radiant cliff you changed the value on client so that won't work

[arctic robin]

local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points
local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS
local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu
while wait(1) do
    print((Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value)
    Points.Value = (Points.Value + PPS.Value) * Mu.Value
end

[regal dragon]

Change it on server side

[arctic robin]

yes

[radiant cliff]

How?

move the script?

[arctic robin]

the server will be outlined green

[regal dragon]

While on testing go to home menu

[radiant cliff]

this?

[regal dragon]

Yeah

And now change the value, go back on client and that will work

[radiant cliff]

how do I make the script constantly like that

???

[regal dragon]

You need to know that when client (the player change value) on his side, that don't affect the server as the system is in a server script

[radiant cliff]

how do I make it a client to server script then?

[regal dragon]

If you want to be able to change the value on client then put the system in a local script but I advise you to dont do that to prevent abusing and cheating

Players must not be able to access main game script

They must just access scripts related to ui etc

[radiant cliff]

how would I do it without a local

[regal dragon]

Do what?

[radiant cliff]

the script

so users dont cheat

[regal dragon]

Huh?

[regal dragon]

If the script is local - > player can get data from it etc
If the script is server - > player can't get data from it

[radiant cliff]

oh

@regal dragon it breaks. if I do that nothing works

[regal dragon]

What did you do?

And send a screenshot of the output

[radiant cliff]

nothing...

[regal dragon]

Tell what did you do exactly

[radiant cliff]

I put the code into a localscript

and disabled the old one

[regal dragon]

Why?

Did you read what I said?

[radiant cliff]

If the script is local - > player can get data from it etc

If the script is server - > player can't get data from it

[regal dragon]

I didn't explain well then

Malicious players can try to cheat in your game so if you put main system in a local script they could abuse it but if you put it in a server script the script is protected from being modified by players

Local script are only to be related on player things like ui animation etc

Btw local script needs to be in starter player / starter player scripts / starter character scripts or starter GUI

[radiant cliff]

how would I just fix it how it is?

the addition works

its just the multiplication

[regal dragon]

As I said before

[radiant cliff]

local PPS = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PPS
local Mu = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Mu
while wait(1) do
    Points.Value = (PPS.Value * Mu.Value) + Points.Value
end```

[regal dragon]

While testing go on server side to change value, if you do it on client side the multiplicator value won't change

[radiant cliff]

how do I make it work if a client changes it?

[regal dragon]

Idk

I don't even know if it's possible

[radiant cliff]

can there be a script / s that do it on a server side and send it back?

[regal dragon]

why you want to change the value on client side?

[regal dragon]

Yeah by using remote events

[radiant cliff]

the player changes it by buying a plate

its a upgrade tree game

[regal dragon]

Use remote events

[radiant cliff]

how do I fire remote events?

[regal dragon]

Never allow player to change value on their side to avoid abusing

[radiant cliff]

and send back?

[regal dragon]

Read docs about remote events to understand them first

[radiant cliff]

@regal dragon would RemoteFunctions work?

nvm

i dont need anything back

[regal dragon]

Yeah

[radiant cliff]

where would I put the RemoteEvent:FireServer(...) ? @regal dragon

[regal dragon]

If you don't even know that then go first on roblox docs and learn about them
