why is my code blind

[signal relic]

I think the error is very explanatory, but basically, my LocalScript doesn't know that ServerStorage has the thing that I told it to look for, and there is no other script instructing it to autodestroy itself.

i should say that the serverstorage appears to empty itself when i run the game...

ServerStorage can not be accessed by the client

You need to use the replicated storage instead

[signal relic]

ah, awesome

yeah it works ty

[sharp needle]

I know you got your question answered already but I’ll add more depth to it:

server storage is only available to the server and not the client, which is why you don’t see anything in it upon doing a test of the game, as it runs the client side.

[signal relic]

wait... ServerSotorage... oh now im the moron

[sharp needle]

Things just take time to learn!!! :D

[signal relic]

i still thing my mistake was pretty darn hillarious

[sharp needle]

If it makes you feel any better I once checked if a player was denounced only to clear it then reapply it the next line 😭

And was wondering why my debounce wasn’t working properly

Something like

if not player or debounce[player] then debounce[player] = nil return end
debounce[player] = true```

[signal relic]

yeah no idea what that is

[sharp needle]

A debounce is basically a cooldown

local players = Game:GetService(“Players”)
local part = Workspace:WaitForChild(“Part”)
local debounce = {}

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local char = hit.Parent
    local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
if not player or debounce[player] then return end
debounce[player] = true
— insert other logic here maybe for collecting money idk
end)```

Too lazy to finish because I’m on mobile

But you get the idea

[signal relic]

no i dont

[sharp needle]

Without a debounce, touching a part that’s supposed to give like 5 coins could give 15 due to multiple touches being triggered

[signal relic]

lemme show you something

[signal relic]

cool summary i guess

[sharp needle]

Yes yes

I went a bit off topic sorry

[signal relic]

do you think i understand what a debounce is when my code looks like THIS?

[sharp needle]

You should learn what a debounce is :D

[signal relic]

i suppose
