Changing a number value from the client side does not change on the server side. Need some help

So I am making a UI for my game that changes your Jump height for a trampoline. The problem is that my number value does change on their client side, but doesn’t for the server side.

I also tried using RemoteEvents to get the players input from the TextBox but it still didn’t work. (The outputs always prints a 0)

I also changed the value from string to a number using tonumber() to see if that was the problem and it still didn’t work. Maybe there is a proper way around this, I never scripted in Studio for a while now because of school so help is appreciated.

What does your scripts look like? Also, this is intentional behavior between client and server because of FE

You would need to make

local JumpGui
local RemoteEvent

JumpGui.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	if not tonumber(JumpGui.Text) then return end --gotsa be a number
	RemoteEvent:FireServer(tonumber(JumpGui.Text))
end)

and then serversided

local RemoteEvent
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, number)

	player.Character.Humanoid.JumpHeight = number

end)

did you do something like that?

Apologies for the long wait, I was cleaning my room.

Unfortunately I lost the client side script but that was listening for the buttons. I only have the server script

local applychange = script.Parent.ApplyChange
local resettodefault = script.Parent.ResetDefault
local p = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local player = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(p.Name)
local PlayerJumpHeight = player:WaitForChild("JumpPower")

applychange.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local number = script.Parent.ChangeNumber.Value
print(number)
PlayerJumpHeight.Value = number
end)

Alright, looking at your server script, do what @PostVivic recommended

The issue is that you need Parameters

put in parenthesis “player, value” then it will pass the value along aswell.
