I don’t know much about leaderstats, but it could be because you’re only changing the players stats on the client; instead, try firing a remote event to a server script and changing the stats there.
I was remaking this script to debug it and realized that this line: local BuyPart = script.Parent would imply that this was a script inside of the workspace, which in and of itself isn’t a problem, but this line: local Player = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer tells me it’s also a local script, which you can’t really and shouldn’t do, as if you try, the script won’t run. Am I just missing something?
the script is a local script, the script is in a part which is a child of a model. the model is in replicatedstorage but when a part gets touched, the model clones to the workspace. that part already works its just the script doesnt work
There’s technically a little trick to get around the no LocalScripts in workspace. You can do it by creating a normal script and changing its RunContext to Client.
It’s because of the fact it’s a local script that’s a descendant of workspace, the only exception to this rule is local scripts inside the character.
Here’s a quick little thing I made, although I had to get rid of a couple things as they’re exclusively local:
local buyPart = script.Parent
local price = 65
local debouce = false
local function IsPlayer(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
return game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name)
else
return false
end
end
buyPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = IsPlayer(hit)
if player then
debouce = true
task.wait(3)
debouce = false
if player and player.leaderstats.Coins.Value >= price and debouce == false then
print("Player and can afford this")
player.leaderstats.Coins.Value -= price
end
end
end)
This is just a quick thing I made and I don’t know if it actually works
You should mark one of your or my comments as solved so that people don’t come to this post to try to help with an already solved topic, and I created a better version that allows the CantAfford text to be displayed:
-- Local script that goes inside of either StarterPlayerScripts or StarterGui (I recommend StarterGui)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local starterGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local errorGui = starterGui:WaitForChild("Error")
local cantAffordText = errorGui:FindFirstChild("TextLabel")
local cantAffordRemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent name here")
local function CantAfford(cost)
cost = cost or math.huge -- fail safe incase Cost comes through as nil
cantAffordText.Text = "You can't afford this! You need "..cost.." more coins to afford this."
errorGui.Enabled = true
task.wait(2)
errorGui.Enabled = false
end
cantAffordRemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(CantAfford)
-- Normal script that goes inside of the BuyPart.
local buyPart = script.Parent
local price = 65
local debouce = false
local cantAffordRemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent name here")
local function IsPlayer(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
return game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name)
else
return false
end
end
buyPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = IsPlayer(hit)
if player then
debouce = true
task.wait(3)
debouce = false
if player and player.leaderstats.Coins.Value >= price and debouce == false then
player.leaderstats.Coins.Value -= price
elseif player and debouce == false then
cantAffordRemoteEvent:FireServer(player, (price - player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)) -- we add the player at the start to tell the server which client to send the signal to.
end
end
end)
You need to create a RemoteEvent and put it inside of ReplicatedStorage.
