Attribute able to be created outside the function but not inside the function

[MilitaryBoi1232 (sans)]

1. What do you want to achieve?
   Just create a new attribute when the player joins

2. What is the issue?
   it just doesnt work at all idk why but if i put it out of the function it just works??? It works but i think it might be harder code like this later on

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   Couldnt find anything talking about it

not sure why is this possibly an idiot

also the script is a local script

This script wont create it

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr:SetAttribute("Sanity", 100)
end)

this WILL

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr:SetAttribute("Sanity", 100)
end)

player:SetAttribute("Sanity", 100)

Are you testing this in Studio, or on the website? Studio can have issues with .PlayerAdded, try publishing it and trying on the website

actaully the script is a local script forgot to mention that

Players.PlayerAdded doesnt fire at client

@MilitaryBoi1232

player:SetAttribute("Sanity", 100)

I see no problem with or you can creatr it in server

Use that in a server script or don’t use the PlayerAdded Event.

Where should certain scripts go and what type of script should i use?

Local script handles everything LOCAL (specific to the player) and must be descendants of the player. What’s written in local script can only access the local player and cannot affect other players, use it for UI, animations and that kind of stuff that does not need to be shared among players. Scripts on the other hand are handled by the Server and have access to everything, they can manage any player, handle data and anything that is done in it is replicated to every player. You’ll put anythin…

Like other people have said, do this on the server, not the client.

The reason this doesn’t work is that the code loads after the player connects to the server. So the PlayerAdded event triggeren when the client joins, can never be received by the client itself.
