BoolValue set to false wont change to true(on player)

[TheRealWayMan]

Hello,

I am making a quest system and to fix a bug where it triggers the GUI I wanted to get a boovalue set on the player so that the gui only updates the questprogress value when the boolvalue is true.
I am using the video ZarksDev made but am expanding on it a bit to test boolvalues but ran into this issue.
Here is part of the code from his video I added and ‘questAcceptedState’ always prints false, I tried added a remote event but maybe I don’t understand bools very well.

local questAcceptedState = Instance.new("BoolValue", quest)
	questAcceptedState.Name = "QuestAcceptedState"
	questAcceptedState = false

Remotes:WaitForChild("Quest"):WaitForChild("QuestAcceptedState").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, questAcceptedState)
		print("server fired should change")
		player.Quest.QuestAcceptedState.Value = true
	end)
	
	questProgress:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
		print(questAcceptedState)
		if questAcceptedState and questAcceptedState == true then
			if questTask.Value ~= nil then
				if questProgress.Value >= questGoal.Value then
					player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("QuestUIButton"):WaitForChild("Frame").Visible = false
					player:WaitForChild(questRewardCurrencyFolder.Value):WaitForChild(questRewardCurrency.Value).Value += questReward.Value
					for i, v in pairs(quest:GetChildren()) do
						if v:IsA("StringValue") then
							v.Value = ""
						elseif v:IsA("NumberValue") or v:IsA("IntValue") then
							v.Value = 0				
						end
					end
					questAcceptedState = false
				end
			end
		end

This is the main problem with the code as it will never allow the quest to finish because it is always false. I also need this so I can add other values for different checks, like what quest they are on.

Hello

If questAcceptedState is never set to true could it be on the Server sided things that are restricting it to be set to true?

Does the console print "server fired should change" whenever it’s meant to accept the quest?

Could you please go into depth with what you mean by this?

Yes it prints the remote event, and it still prints false when the next function is called.
My guess is something with the server I have tried reading about it but… just not any conoclusions a lot of people with this issue were using boolvalue in a different sense like a gui, I mostly want to use it as a player boolvalue not a gui.

I think I figured it out, I never printed what was inside the remote event, which was NIL so it never would update that value because I wasn’t sending it correctly. Thank you for your response it make me think of what was actually being called in the remote event and I did a print there to see.

Anytime! Do post again if you need help.

Just for anyone who needs reference here is a real cheat sheet on how I fixed it after realizing the true root problem (thanks to ksus).

Attempt to index boolean with "Value"

What do you want to achieve? I’m making a block move for my fighting game! What is the issue? on line 53, the output gives me a error describing the line: Attempt to index boolean with “Value” What solutions have you tried so far? I tried searching the forums but to no avail. Here’s the code: elseif Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.B then --B Button Pressed! BlockTrack:Play() WalkSpeed = 0 JumpPower = 0 BlockCheck.Value = true -- This gives me the error end Are there an…

Remotes:WaitForChild("Quest"):WaitForChild("QuestAcceptedState").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
		print("server fired should change")
		player.Quest.QuestAcceptedState.Value = true
		print(player.Quest.QuestAcceptedState.Value)
	end)
	
	questProgress:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
		print(player.Quest.QuestAcceptedState.Value)
		if player.Quest.QuestAcceptedState.Value and player.Quest.QuestAcceptedState.Value == true then
			if questTask.Value ~= nil then
				if questProgress.Value >= questGoal.Value then
					player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("QuestUIButton"):WaitForChild("Frame").Visible = false
					player:WaitForChild(questRewardCurrencyFolder.Value):WaitForChild(questRewardCurrency.Value).Value += questReward.Value
					for i, v in pairs(quest:GetChildren()) do
						if v:IsA("StringValue") then
							v.Value = ""
						elseif v:IsA("NumberValue") or v:IsA("IntValue") then
							v.Value = 0				
						end
					end
					questAcceptedState = false
				end
				--mainQuestPart1 = true
			end
		end
	end)
