you cant access client ui elements from server if client manages them on their side

#5

so is it impossible to save then?

#6

no, you just have to have the values on the server already, either send them by a remoteevent if its a simple value, but if its a save its better you handle this on the server already so you cant exploit it

#7

well im adding the value in server using remotes already

#8

then use the values in server, instead of from client UI and itll be fine
