Devlog Help 2: Showing String Values

I written the Events table poorly.

local Events = {
	["ForHire"] = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ForHire"),
	["Hiring"] = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Hiring"),
	["Hosting"] = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Hosting"),
	["Public"] = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Public"),
}

Instead, use String values, and when getting the event, use Events[question.Name].

Well, uhm, here is a video showing all of the errors:

And here is a picture of the output:

Are the names of the Questions the same?

#47

Im not sure what you mean…

The names are:

ForHire

Hiring

Posting

Public

#48

Ima go to bed for now:

I should be back here by about 3:00 - 3:15 EST Tommorow.

#49

I should’ve stated specifically.

When you loop over each question, they appear to only be editing one result in the bottom left corner. This can happen if all the question’s names are the same. Is each question different?

#51

Maybe instead of using an Events table to store the RemoteEvents’ locations, we could instead directly find the RemoteEvent using the question’s name and check if it’s there.

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(question.Name)

Exploiters are able to change the name of the question and make the script execute a different RemoteEvent, so it might be safer to place the 4 RemoteEvents that are being created in a separate folder.

For measures of debugging, try adding a print statement that states the name of the question, the name of the RemoteEvent it got, and the StatText.

print(`'{question.Name}' is connected to this event called '{RemoteEvent.Name}' and this Stat Text '{statText.Name}'`)
#52

So the leaderstats are reflecting the correct behavior. But the gui is not?

Also you should change

local key = player.UserId

to

local key = tostring(player.UserId)

It’s expecting a string:

Change it for both load and save.

If the case is that it’s just the gui, then connect to the .Changed event for each leaderstat value and change the relative guis color.

Alright yall, Ive made the decision to stop trying to fix this, because I don’t want to simply waste all of you guy’s time. So I changed the format from this:

To This, for better functionality and easier fixing.

But of course, I am still a UI Designer and solely that. So if you could help me make this work, I’d be very appreciative.

WHAT I NEED DONE:

If the value of each of them equals No then it should say NO and have a text color of
(255, 67, 67) and if it equals Yes then it should say YES and have a text color of
(85, 255, 127)

Frames: The name is just the first letter of each word in each question

UI Corner and UI Stroke: You know this one

ChangeButton: The Button in the text that says “Change”

CurrentlyAnswer: The text under the ChangeButton that has color and says either: YES or NO and is in there to not have to use richtext

CurrentlyLabel: This doesn’t really matter, just the label that says “Currently”

SettingDescription: The questions written out

IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION FROM ME, SIMPLY ASK AND I WILL PROVIDE!

If the leaderstat is working it is simply a matter of syncing the gui. You still didn’t answer my question.

To Start, I have made this script here… Still working on making it save though…

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

local Stat2 = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Hiring")
local Stat3 = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Posting")
local Stat4 = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Public")
local RemoteEvent1 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ForHire")
local RemoteEvent2 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Hiring")
local RemoteEvent3 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Posting")
local RemoteEvent4 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Public")

script.Parent.DYWOTHYTemplate.ChangeButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
