Can't get my powerups to work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make a shop GUI where you can buy stackable powerups.
I’ve made a button for JumpPower and WalkSpeed, made some scripts with help from tutorials
(scripts visible below)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyEvents.WalkSpeedEvent:FireServer()
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyEvents.jumpPowerEvent:FireServer()
end)

(Two events)

but then I couldn’t get it to give me the WalkSpeed Or JumpPower.

Then I made the server script… Well… Tried.
I tried a lot of stuff(which all horribly failed) and these are the ones I ended up with.
Yes, these.

game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyEvents.WalkSpeedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

game.StarterPlayer.BuyPowerupWalkspeed.Disabled = false

end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyEvents.jumpPowerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

game.StarterPlayer.BuyPowerupJumpPower.Disabled = false

end)

local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player.Parent)
	if player.leaderstats.Level.Value >= 10 then
		player.leaderstats.Level.Value = player.leaderstats.Level.Value - 10
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed +20
	end
end)

local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player.Parent)
	if player.leaderstats.Level.Value >= 10 then
		player.leaderstats.Level.Value = player.leaderstats.Level.Value - 15
		plr.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = plr.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower +30
	end
end)

I tried to make a script that lead to the other ones, depending on if you wanted Walkspeed or JumpPower.

2 big problems:

  • The script doesn’t work. :confused:

  • I still don’t precisely know how to change a player’s WalkSpeed/JumpPower.

I’ve searched on this devforum on how to fix it but I can’t…

I’m just a dum dum.

If any of you know how to fix this, please, help me!!!

the problems are in the server script, you need to enable the script in the player…
…however this is exploitable so instead i would just do the code in the server like this:

game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyEvents.jumpPowerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player.leaderstats.Level.Value >= 10 then
		player.leaderstats.Level.Value -= 15
		player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower += 30
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyEvents.WalkSpeedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player.leaderstats.Level.Value >= 10 then
		player.leaderstats.Level.Value -= 10
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 20
	end
end)

then you can delete the scripts that you put in the starterplayer :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you! But it seems like there are still some problems in the script, I know how to fix them though.

One of them is a miscalculation of mine which lets people buy until they have -5 Level.

The other one seems to be an oopsie you made :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
You put JumpPower twice instead of JumpPower and Walkspeed.

Thanks for the help!
