How to change values on specific players?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I need that when you click on the button in the GUI, the value will change only for the player who clicked the button, how do I do this?

Every time I attempt to change or check a player value, I get an error that script can’t find the value

here’s my script:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local Value = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	Value.Parent = player
	AfkEvent:FireClient(player)
end)

AfkEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:WaitForChild("Value") == true then
		plr.PlayerGui.Value = false
	end
end)
#2

If I understood your code, I think that I found an issue: you parent the Value, that has been created inside of PlayerAdded event, to the player and try to access it by saying player.PlayerGui.Value; It should be more like player.Value = false, because the value is located inside of the player and not inside of its PlayerGui

#3

script still doesn’t see the value

#4

Since this is the server version, can you send me the client one?

#5

I would suggest assigning a name to the Value you created: Value.Name = “AFKStatus”

#6

I already tried to name the value, but it didn’t work.

here’s my scripts

Server:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local Value = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	Value.Parent = player.PlayerGui
	AfkEvent:FireClient(player)
end)

TAfkEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr.Value == true then
		TAfkEvent:FireClient(true)
	end
end)

Local:

AfkEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	task.wait(10)
	TAfkEvent:FireServer()
	TAfkEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(bool)
		if bool == true then
			AfkDetected()
			scream.Playing = true
		end
	end)
end)

So, I don’t really understand what you meant to do there (I’m sorry for saying this but the client side script is too messy), however, I did this:

local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local AfkEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").AfkEvent

--Server
PS.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local AFKStatus = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	AFKStatus.Name = "AfkStatus"
	AFKStatus.Parent = plr
	
	AFKStatus.Changed:Connect(function(afkStatus)
		if afkStatus == true then
			AfkEvent:FireClient(plr)
			print("plr is afk")
		else
			print("plr is not afk")
		end
	end)
end)

--Client
local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local plr = PS.LocalPlayer

local AfkEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").AfkEvent

local function onAfk()
	print("plr is afk")
end

AfkEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	onAfk()
end)

It’s not exactly what I need, but because of your script, I figured out what’s wrong, thank you!
