  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

A way to make a GUI that gives hats without the need of a remote event for each hat.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I do not wat code, I’m trying to make a hat giver GUI without the need of a remote event for each hat because they cause lagg.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I’ve tried using a server script for the buttons and click functions.

I know how to debounce, but the problem is that I’m creating a new event every time I add a hat.

You don’t need to make multiple remotes for each hat. You can FireServer with a string of text, with the text being the hat ID. Here’s an example of passing a string through a remote event:

LocalScript:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = replicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

event:FireServer("Hello")

Server Script:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = replicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
    print(text)  -- Output: "Hello"
end)

I see, but what if the hat is a model/accessory that is not from the catalog?

You could just fire it with a string, and if the string equals a value then put the hat on the player.

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, hat)
    if hat == 'dominus' then
       -- equip hat here
    end
end)

Or you could have a folder with all of the accessories:

local HatsFolder = --
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, hat)
      local chosenHat = HatsFolder:FindFirstChild(hat)
end)

Still doesn’t seem to work here is my code:

—Local—

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Scarf") then
		
	else
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Hat:FireServer("Scarf")
	end
end)

—Server—

game.ReplicatedStorage.Hat.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, scarf)
	if scarf == "Scarf" then
		local scarfc = game.ReplicatedStorage.EnlistedAccessories.Scarf:Clone(plr.Character)
		scarfc.Parent = plr.Character
	end
end)

Any errors? Do you see anything happening?

#8

Nothing happens when I press the button and there are no errors in the output related to it

#9

When you check the explorer did it clone into the character. You probably have to weld it to the character otherwise you won’t be able to see it.

#10

A very similar problem is discussed here.

#11

No it’s not a model and I’ve welded all the parts together in the accessory and tested it on a dummy.
I’ve done this before, but not with a single remote event so maybe that’s the problem.

#12

Nevermind guys, I fixed it.

It wasn’t related to the code it was in the wrong text button, but thanks for helping!
