im trying to make a button that converts Points to PD.
#Why wont this work?
fresh harbor
hollow escarp
Explain a little more pls
hollow escarp
It looks correct on the script side
karmic hedge
these are the same
you might have to use waitforchild
on the local script
for the event
fresh harbor
like this?
karmic hedge
yeah try it
hollow escarp
ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“Convert”
lol just have another variable for the event I didn’t even notice that
fresh harbor
scarlet bear
Are you firing from the client?
karmic hedge
and check output
fresh harbor
Are you firing from the client?
yes
hollow escarp
Put the reference of ur event as a variable
fresh harbor
you click the button and it converts Points to PD. on the vid the bottom one is Pd and top is Points
karmic hedge
oh so if you want individual player's points to convert into PD you need to use player
fresh harbor
its for whole server
karmic hedge
oh i see
fresh harbor
Put the reference of ur event as a variable
like this?
karmic hedge
like this?
are there any prints?
scarlet bear
in your server side script put player between the brackets
did you try this?
fresh harbor
in your server side script put player between the brackets
like this?
scarlet bear
like this?
no
karmic hedge
like this?
its on the server side
fresh harbor
like this?
this local
scarlet bear
this local
you have to do that in the server script
fresh harbor
where?
fresh harbor
?
scarlet bear
yes like that
fresh harbor
still does not work
shell oxide
and this is the same
if this is located in a screengui you should use a server script and parent the player
to prevent remote abuse from exploiters
shell oxide
and this is the same
add :WaitForChild()
for the variables at the tap
top*
they might not have loaded in before u called them
since its a server script
fresh harbor
where? ```local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Convert = game.ReplicatedStorage.Convert
local Points = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Points
local PD = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.PD
Convert.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Plr)
print("Converted")
PD.Value = Points.Value / 10
Points.Value = 0
end)```

shell oxide
how is the script supposed to work
i see that ur calling the variables in replicated storage
on the server
scarlet bear
also why do you define replicatedstorage and do game.replicatedstorage
shell oxide
but u fire the conversion on the client
shrewd pathBOT
** You are now Level 1! **
fresh harbor
when the button clicked
fresh harbor
also why do you define replicatedstorage and do game.replicatedstorage
idk
shell oxide
game.replicatedstorage is fine but
what im seeing is
the data from the client isnt being sent over to the server
fresh harbor
when the button clicked
it fireserver
scarlet bear
send your localscript code
fresh harbor
local Convert = game.ReplicatedStorage.Convert
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Convert sent")
ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Convert"):FireServer()
end)```ur code is wrong because
when the client sends a fireevent
the server tries to calculate it on the server
but the client data is different from the server data
and client data doesnt update to the server without calls
fresh harbor
...
shell oxide
u need to send the calucation value through fireserver
example
local val = 1
event:FireServer(val)
shrewd pathBOT
** You are now Level 2! **
shell oxide
then u can do
fresh harbor
uhm how?
shell oxide
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(value)
print("value from client is: "..val)
end)

@fresh harbor is point an integer value or a number value?
shell oxide
if you dont know how to send data between clients i would recommend looking up a tutorial on how remote events work
hollow hamlet
do another clip and show the output
shell oxide
client to server*
fresh harbor
...
hollow hamlet
just do a clip and show output
shell oxide
just do a clip and show output
its gonna print 0
the isuse hes having is hes trying to calculate client data from the server
if u want the data to update on the server u have to fire that data through a remote event
even if the value is stored in replicated storage
client values are different from server values
fresh harbor
...
hollow hamlet
u do know
that you change the values
from the server
not ur own client
lets start from 0 @fresh harbor
what is PD and Points
fresh harbor
...

Local script in workspace? That's wrong
hollow hamlet
show the points
fresh harbor
glad ermine
Local script in workspace? That's wrong
Is that the client script to click the button?
fresh harbor
its not in gui
hollow hamlet
put the local script
fresh harbor
screengui*
glad ermine
its not in gui
Well, you can't use local scripts in workspace
fresh harbor
hollow hamlet
ok test
glad ermine
Yeah but there is a problem
hollow hamlet
but change script.Parent.MouseButton1Click
glad ermine
You need to reference your ui
like local gui = game.Workspace.Part.SurfaceGui
But name the part different because there are alot of parts named "part"
Oh i'm dumb he already did
fresh harbor
glad ermine
Yeah
hollow hamlet
local Convert = game.ReplicatedStorage.Convert
local Button = Workspace:WaitForChild("Screen1").SurfaceGui.TextButton
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Convert sent")
ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Convert"):FireServer()
end)```do variable
I forgot frame
but do variable
glad ermine
You need to send pd aswell
glad ermine
Yeah, i mean you want to use pd value right?
fresh harbor
yes?
glad ermine
So you do the same thing you did here, but instead you need to put .Value at the end of Points and Pd in the variables
And then in fireserver(Points,PD)
fresh harbor
glad ermine
It's in the client, not the server script
fresh harbor
glad ermine
You forgot to put .Value in the points and pd variable at the end of them, also the pd variable is points, is that on purpose?
fresh harbor
You forgot to put .Value in the points and pd variable at the end of them, also ...
@glad ermine @hollow hamlet @shell oxide @scarlet bear thanks for the help
