Help Getting Values from Player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have this LocalScript that saves the values from a player into a folder so I can save them later. However, the script isn’t working and there are no errors. It’s not detecting when the value gets changed.

LocalScript:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerStats = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(Player.Name)
local Cash = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Cash
local RPName = Player:WaitForChild("RPName")
local RPBio = Player:WaitForChild("RPBio")
local CnB = Player:WaitForChild("CashInBank")

function Changed(name, instance)
	PlayerStats:FindFirstChild(name).Value = instance.Value
end

Cash:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Got Cash")
	Changed("Cash",Cash)
end)

RPName:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Changed Name")
	Changed("RPName",RPName)
end)

RPBio:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Changed Bio")
	Changed("RPBio",RPBio)
end)

CnB:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Change in Bank")
	Changed("CashInBank",CnB)
end)

The script looks like it should work, where is the localscript located?
And are you getting an Infinite Yield warnings?

#3

It’s located in the StarterPlayer. I’m not getting any warnings either.

#4

Put it in StarterPlayerScripts?

Also this is only going to change them locally, if you want them to detect and then change on the server, use a RemoteEvent for changing the value

#5

The thing you do is only valid for the client. The server is unable to see that changes.

#6

I already tried it in StarterPlayerScripts.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerStats = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(Player.Name)
local Cash = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Cash
local RPName = Player:WaitForChild("RPName")
local RPBio = Player:WaitForChild("RPBio")
local CnB = Player:WaitForChild("CashInBank")

print("Variables loaded")

function Changed(name, instance)
    print("Changed")
	PlayerStats:FindFirstChild(name).Value = instance.Value
end

Cash:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Got Cash")
	Changed("Cash",Cash)
end)

RPName:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Changed Name")
	Changed("RPName",RPName)
end)

RPBio:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Changed Bio")
	Changed("RPBio",RPBio)
end)

CnB:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	print("Change in Bank")
	Changed("CashInBank",CnB)
end)

print("Ending the script here")

Do any of the prints work or they also don’t work?

#9

The prints do not work at all.

#10

Okay try doing an outside print like @JackscarIitt did. If those print, then something is up with how you’re trying to change the valyes

#11

Nothing printed when I tried it.

#12

Ok wut how

If nothing printed, then chances are it’s having to do with the script itself

Are you sure that the Disabled property isn’t set to true? If not, can you add a print way before you first define your variables?

#13

The script isn’t disabled and it didn’t print what I put at the top.

#14

Impossible

The only thing that I can think is sending a image of your Explorer, and are you double sure that you’re getting every Output that’s being received? Such as Warnings, Errors, Prints, etc

#15

Yes, I am receiving all output messages.
Explorer:
image

#16

Try replacing the GetPropertyChangedSignal Events with the Changed Event instead?

Move the script to StarterPlayerScripts and see if that works

#18

It’s still not working.

I already tried this.

#19

Only other thing I’d suggest then is sending a place file, cause this should work regardless unless if for some reason you’re destroying the Values after the WaitForChild() functions are called

#20

Show a image of the output because I just tried the script in studio and it is printing fine.
