How do I acces my part and change its positions and stuff I send the variable from a server script through a remote event to a local script but then if I try to acces its position its nil
local buttonSize = stepPart.Position.X / equipped

Could we have more information? Show us the line where the RemoteEvent is fired and the line where it’s received.

server script:

local openBox = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("OpenBoxRemoteEvent")

boxBought.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, boxName, price)
if player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= price then
player.leaderstats.Money.Value -= price
local button = buttonModule.ChooseRandomButton(boxName)
print(button)
checkAutoDelete:FireClient(player,button)

Make sure the part exists on both the server side and the client side.
- the part cannot be under ServerStorage, it must be workspace or ReplicatedStorage
- StreamingEnabled might be clearing it on the client side, try getting closer to the part before passing the variable to the player
- make sure the player has enough time to load into the game before sending them the part

Nowhere in the server script does it fire the SendEquipToButtonRemoteEvent RemoteEvent, which is the one received by the localscript. Are you sure this is the correct script?

wrong script sorry
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local sendEquip = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("SendEquipRemoteEvent")
local sendEquipToButton = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("SendEquipToButtonRemoteEvent")
local stepPart = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("Map"):WaitForChild("StepPartModel"):WaitForChild("StepPart")
sendEquip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,buttonName,equip)
if equip == true then
local maxEquip = player.Values.MaxEquip.Value
local equipped = 0
for i,v in pairs(player.ButtonInventory:GetChildren()) do
if v:GetAttribute("Equip") == true then
equipped += 1
end
end
if equipped < maxEquip then
if player.ButtonInventory:FindFirstChild(buttonName) then
player.ButtonInventory:FindFirstChild(buttonName):SetAttribute("Equip",true)
sendEquipToButton:FireClient(player,buttonName,equip,stepPart)
end
end
elseif equip == false then
end
end)

does something error or yield in the output? Make sure the path to stepPart is correct.
Also make sure all the arguments in the functions are correct. Try printing out every argument and see what comes out. If you’re expecting a string and get a bool for example, you know there’s something wrong.
its correct and it does yield_
oh then could you screenshot the output?
Maybe try passing the Position of “StepPart” to the client, instead of the Instance.
Server Script:
-- Your existing code...
sendEquip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, buttonName, equip)
if equip == true then
-- Your existing code...
if equipped < maxEquip then
if player.ButtonInventory:FindFirstChild(buttonName) then
player.ButtonInventory:FindFirstChild(buttonName):SetAttribute("Equip", true)
-- Instead of sending stepPart, send its position
local stepPartPosition = stepPart.Position
sendEquipToButton:FireClient(player, buttonName, equip, stepPartPosition)
end
end
elseif equip == false then
-- Your existing code...
end
end)
Local Script:
-- Your existing code...
sendEquipToButton.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(buttonName, equip, stepPartPosition)
if equip == true then
-- Your existing code...
local buttonSize = stepPartPosition.X / equipped
-- Rest of your existing code...
elseif equip == false then
-- Your existing code...
end
end)
can I then still cahnge the position of the part and so only the player sees it
Honestly, why don’t you just access the StepPart directly in the localScript instead of firing it from server to client? Can’t you just write the following in the local script and remove “stepPart” from the RemoteEvent?
I tried that but thats qhy I made this post
if “stepPart” was a cloned part that you only wanted the player to be able to see the position change, then yes it would make more sense to fire it thru a remote to the client, but here I don’t see why it’s needed as the part already exists when the game loads. Make sure there aren’t multiple variables with the name “stepPart”.
Its just there is a part in the workspace adn if I clone it it only clones for that player and if I change the clones position or size or whatever it will only change for that player, I hope what you jsut said works but I gotta go i’ll put it as solved tomorrow when I can test it.
