Can someone help me clone a script?

So i’ve made a script that uses remote events and stuff, and it works perfectly fine bu there’s a thing that doesn’t really work.

Server

local players = game.Players

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')

local PlayerAddedEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('PlayerAdded')

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
PlayerAddedEvent:FireAllClients(player.Name)
end)

Client

local gui = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local PlayerAddedEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('PlayerAdded')
local ScrollingFrame = gui.ScrollingFrame
local label = ScrollingFrame.TextLabel

PlayerAddedEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	for i, v in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
		if v:isA('TextLabel') then
			
			v:Clone()
			
		end
	end
end)

For some reason it doesn’t clone the TextLabel.

If someone is willing to help me i’d be very grateful!

Have you set the parent of the clone?

#3

You mean the scrolling frame? I think that is the parent of the Clone

#4

No, for example:

PlayerAddedEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	for i, v in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
		if v:isA('TextLabel') then
			
			v:Clone()
			v.Parent = ScrollingFrame -- This.
		end
	end
end)

yup did that and still there is no cloned TextLabel.

#6

Try printing out the label:

PlayerAddedEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	for i, v in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
		if v:isA('TextLabel') then
			print(v)
		end
	end
end)

If it didn’t print anything, then it doesn’t exist.

Here’s what you’ve done:

v:Clone() -- clone v
v.Parent = ScrollingFrame -- set the parent of v to ScrollingFrame

Here’s what you should be doing:

clone = v:Clone() -- clone v
clone.Parent = ScrollingFrame -- set the parent of the clone to ScrollingFrame

Use local on this

local clone = v:Clone() -- clone v
clone.Parent = ScrollingFrame -- set the parent of the clone to ScrollingFrame
