I have no idea why, but print 2 isn’t running. I have never experienced something like this, so any help would be appreciated.
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PetRE"):WaitForChild("EquipPet").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,petName)
local pet = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets:WaitForChild(petName)
local character = player.Character
local petPositions = {
{Position = Vector3.new(0,-1.5,7), Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-90,0)},
{Position = Vector3.new(-7.5,-1.5,5), Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-120,0)},
{Position = Vector3.new(7.5,-1.5,5), Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-60,0)}
}
local function GetPetOrder(character)
local petFolder = character.Pets
if #petFolder:GetChildren() == 0 then
return 1
end
local activeSlots = {}
for _, pet in ipairs(petFolder:GetChildren()) do
local order = pet.Order.Value
activeSlots[order] = order
end
for avalaibleSlot = 1, 5, 1 do
if not activeSlots[avalaibleSlot] then
return avalaibleSlot
end
end
end
print("1: defined getpetorder")
local function PetFollow(player, pet)
print("2: in petfollow function")
end
Oh yeah my bad. I was calling the function inside the function. But another problem arise. There is an in pairs loop inside the function. For some reason it can’t detect the textlabel named “NewSelect”. Maybe because of server/client side?
for i, v in pairs(player.PlayerGui.Inventory.Pets.ScrollingFrame:GetDescendants()) do
print("5: in for loop")
if v.Name == "NewSelect" then
print("6: found newselect")
end
end
Variables would help you, man. That’s a lot of extra space taken up in the first line for no reason.
If you’re calling that initially before actually creating “NewSelect”, that could be why. That if-statement will only run when once when it executes and if NewSelect isn’t there, then it skips past it.
Yep I am pretty sure. Let me give you a bigger view of the code. Print 5 runs but print 6 doesn’t.
Here is an image of the output:
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PetRE"):WaitForChild("EquipPet").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,petName)
local pet = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets:WaitForChild(petName)
local character = player.Character
local petPositions = {
{Position = Vector3.new(0,-1.5,7), Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-90,0)},
{Position = Vector3.new(-7.5,-1.5,5), Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-120,0)},
{Position = Vector3.new(7.5,-1.5,5), Orientation = Vector3.new(0,-60,0)}
}
local function GetPetOrder(character)
local petFolder = character.Pets
if #petFolder:GetChildren() == 0 then
return 1
end
local activeSlots = {}
for _, pet in ipairs(petFolder:GetChildren()) do
local order = pet.Order.Value
activeSlots[order] = order
end
for avalaibleSlot = 1, 5, 1 do
if not activeSlots[avalaibleSlot] then
return avalaibleSlot
end
end
end
print("2: defiend getpetorder")
local function PetFollow(player, pet)
print("3: in petfollow function")
if not character then return end
print("4: no character")
local petsFolder = character:FindFirstChild("Pets")
if not petsFolder then
petsFolder = Instance.new("Folder", character)
petsFolder.Name = "Pets"
end
print("4: defined petsfolder")
for i, v in pairs(player.PlayerGui.Inventory.Pets.ScrollingFrame:GetDescendants()) do
print("5: in for loop")
if v.Name == "NewSelect" then
print("6: found newselect")
if v.Text == "1" then
print("7: text is 1")
local petUUID = v.Parent.UUID.Value
local petModel: Model = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets:WaitForChild(petName):Clone()
print("8: cloned pet")
petModel.UUID.Value = petUUID
petModel:PivotTo(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
local charAttachment = Instance.new("Attachment", character.HumanoidRootPart)
charAttachment.Visible = false
local petAttachment = Instance.new("Attachment", petModel.PrimaryPart)
petAttachment.Visible = false
local alignPosition = Instance.new("AlignPosition", petModel)
alignPosition.MaxForce = 25_000
alignPosition.Attachment0 = petAttachment
alignPosition.Attachment1 = charAttachment
alignPosition.Responsiveness = 25
local alignOrientation = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", petModel)
alignOrientation.MaxTorque = 25_000
alignOrientation.Attachment0 = petAttachment
alignOrientation.Attachment1 = charAttachment
alignOrientation.Responsiveness = 25
local order = Instance.new("IntValue", petModel)
order.Name = "Order"
order.Value = GetPetOrder(character)
local petPosition = petPositions[order.Value]
charAttachment.Position = petPosition.Position
charAttachment.Orientation = petPosition.Orientation
petModel.Name = petName
petModel.Parent = petsFolder
print("9: put pet in character")
petModel.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(player)
end
end
end
end
PetFollow(player, pet)
end)
Here is how it looks in the Explorer. I guess the reason the image button doesn’t get detected is because I’m moving it in a local script. I don’t know if moving the imagebutton in a serverscript would cause issues between the clients.
I suggest maintaining all UI-related actions on the client-side and reserving server invocation for specific scenarios, such as executing actions or obtaining data not available on the client.
