Clickdetector doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on adding a halloween update to my Piggy game, and the event is to collect candys. This is the collect candy script

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Halloween2024.CandysCollected.Value += 1
end)

there isn’t any errors, but it doesn’t work.

Are all the assets present in the game and correctly parented to the parts, and does the ClickDetector register being clicked? Example: print(“Clicked!”)

#3 
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
player.PlayerGui.Halloween2024.CandysCollected.Value += 1
end)
#4

Just added that print script. Doesn’t register.

#5

im guessing this is a server script under then click detector, game.Players.LocalPlayer will not work, you will have to do fire a remote to the client side to change the ui

#6

The script is a LocalScript. I can’t have it be a ServerScript because I want to destroy the candy object eventually from that script.

#7

looks like this is in a localscript, my guess is that it isnt effecting the server but is effecting the client. look at the candyscollected value on both the client and server to see if its changing.

#8

The candy collected value is in a screengui

#9

Convert it to a normal script and change the RunContext to local

I don’t think that’ll work because the script is being put inside the object using a localscript.

local function Typewrite(Label,Text)
if typeof(Label) == “Instance” and typeof(Text) == “string” then
for i = 1,#Text,1 do
Label.Text = string.sub(Text,1,i)
task.wait(0.065)
end
end
end

local function TweenCam(Camera)
if typeof(Camera) == “Instance” then
game:GetService(“TweenService”):Create(workspace.CurrentCamera,TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out),{CFrame = Camera.CFrame}):Play()
end
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.GeorgieHalloween2024TalkTo.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(georgie, proximity)
proximity.Enabled = false
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = georgie.Camera
TweenCam(georgie.Camera)
script.Pig:Play()
Typewrite(script.Parent.Dialog, “Hey!! You there, could you help me find my Candy?”)
task.wait(2)
script.Pig:Play()
Typewrite(script.Parent.Dialog, “I was walking around and I realized I was missing my Candy Basket!”)
task.wait(1)
script.Pig:Play()
Typewrite(script.Parent.Dialog, “If you are able to help me, I’ll give you a limited time badge!”)
task.wait(1)
script.Parent.CandyIcon.Visible = true
script.Parent.Candys.Visible = true
TweenCam(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head)
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head
proximity.Enabled = true
for i, candy in pairs(workspace.Halloween2024.Candy:GetChildren()) do
candy.Transparency = 0
local CandyScript = script.CandyScript:Clone()
CandyScript.Parent = candy.ClickDetector
CandyScript.Enabled = true
end
end)

localscripts can only run when parented to specific parents, setting a script’s runcontext to local will allow it to run in the workspace (which is my second guess as to why nothing is happening)

#12

It worked! Thanks, I thought it wouldn’t work because I thought RunContext would just basically turn it into a LocalScript.
