[storm lotus]

😨

oh my god

what am i looking at

this has to be ragebait

surely

[wet laurel]

cdoe

[storm lotus]

hold on

game.ReplicatedStorage.changeproperty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p, num, name, prop)
   tostring(prop)
   tostring(name)

   local boolean = true or false
   local b = workspace:FindFirstChild(name)
   local idk = tonumber(num)
   b[prop] = idk or boolean
end)

ok

ok so

uh

💔

[wet laurel]

wow

[storm lotus]

you can reduce the amount of parameters to 3

part, property, value

[wet laurel]

yeah but

[orchid marsh]

what the fuck is even that

[wet laurel]

value has to be boolean/number

[storm lotus]

same code

but easier to read

[wet laurel]

im trying to fucking replicate roblox studio

😭

[storm lotus]

why are you trying to only limit to boolean or number

what about strings?

[wet laurel]

aight let me try

[storm lotus]

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").changeproperty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, part, prop, val)
    local t = typeof(val)
    if t == "number" or t == "boolean" or t == "string" then
        part[prop] = val
    end
end)

in the client side, send the part itself rather than the part name

maybe

[wet laurel]

tfym

[wet laurel]

this doesnt eve work

So poo...

[storm lotus]

what is the error in output

[storm lotus]

before t is defined put

print(plr, part, prop, val)

show me what it returns

[storm lotus]

no wonder

ur values are mixed up on the client

show me the client side

[wet laurel]

how

[storm lotus]

show me the script that fires changeproperty

[wet laurel]

uh

ok

[storm lotus]

💔

give me a recording of you trying to change a property in game

what does it look lkke

[wet laurel]

uhhh

howdo i explain this

[storm lotus]

no obs?

[wet laurel]

no no

my pc absolutely goes garbage while recording

• i cant even move my mouse

[storm lotus]

i see

so basically

ur client script is ass

💔

[wet laurel]

im on another pc btw

[wet laurel]

im a beginner

tf do u expect

😭

[storm lotus]

ur not sending any values to the server, the parameters are completely wrong for a textbox

[wet laurel]

wait let me try something worse

[storm lotus]

no

so

uh

when you set a value, is there a textbox for property and another for value?

[wet laurel]

yes.

you change the property with Value...

[storm lotus]

i meant are there 2 textboxes

you would put the property name in the first and the desired value in the second

[wet laurel]

yup

• there is an textbox that uh

you put the name of an part then the value thing

blah

[storm lotus]

local tb1: TextBox        --    put the path to the first textbox (PROPERTY NAME)
local tb2: TextBox        --    put the path to the second textbox (DESIRED VALUE)
local tb3: TextBox        --    put the path to the third textbox (PART NAME)

tb2.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
    if enterPressed then
        local prop = tb1.Text
        local part = workspace:FindFirstChild(tb3.Text)
        
        if part and part[prop] then
            game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").changeproperty:FireServer(part, prop, tb2.Text)
        end
    end
end)

[wet laurel]

wtf

.

nvm

[storm lotus]

replace the server event with this:

local bools = {
    ["true"] = true,
    ["false"] = false
}
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").changeproperty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, part, prop, val)
    if bools[val] then val = bools[val] end
    local t = typeof(val)
    if t == "number" or t == "boolean" or t == "string" then
        local success, err = pcall(function()
            part[prop] = val
        end)
        if not success then print(err) end
    end
end)

[wet laurel]

there is no errors but

its straight up ignored

.

why it ignores everythin

except transparency

[storm lotus]

local bools = {
    ["true"] = true,
    ["false"] = false
}
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").changeproperty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, part, prop, val)
    print(`Received event | Part: {part}, Property: {prop}, Value: {val}`)
    if bools[val] then val = bools[val] end
    local t = typeof(val)
    print(t)
    if t == "number" or t == "boolean" or t == "string" then
        print("Setting value...")
        local success, err = pcall(function()
            part[prop] = val
        end)
        if not success then print(err) end
    end
end)

show me the output

[wet laurel]
