How do I write to a StringValue on the client?

[Fox_2042 (real cat)]

I’ve never heard of these before… May you elaborate please?

[sonic_848 (killer)]

like Player:SetAttribute("Team", "Team1") to set the attribute and Player:GetAttribute("Team") to get the value set. In this case that value would be “Team1”

[Fox_2042 (real cat)]

same problem as before, whenever the attribute is passed to the server, it returns back to it’s original state

edit: i do like the idea of using attributes more though, very cool

[sonic_848 (killer)]

Are you setting the attribute from only one location?

[Fox_2042 (real cat)]

set here

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	plr:SetAttribute("Team", "Booking")

then passed to the server here

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LoadCharacter:FireServer(plr)
end)

then the player gets teamed on the server here

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LoadCharacter.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	print(plr:GetAttribute("Team"))
	plr.Team = plr:GetAttribute("Team")
end)

That’s because the attribute is set locally so the server cant see anything.

–Firing

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
 game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LoadCharacter:FireServer(plr:GetAttribute("Team"))
end)

For the server use the code I gave you before for switching teams because it will now pass a string

oh yea i forgot about that ;;

didn’t seem to change anything tho?

[sonic_848 (killer)]

Can you print the attribute on the client before you send it and when you receive it on the server?

[Fox_2042 (real cat)]

i already did that

top one is changing it, second one is sending and bottom one is recieving

@Fox_2042

It changes on the client, however it seems to go back to the default value when I pass this change on to the remote event.

If the server changes the value it sees, it will replicate to the client. Therefore if you change the value on the client before that happens, the server will overwrite it with its version of the value.

Sorry mb I forgot you sent a screenshot previously. Can you show the updated server code? Is it similar to what I was referencing? Because if the client prints the value showing it exists idk why the server wouldn’t be able to see it (Sorry in advance for the repetition)

[Fox_2042 (real cat)]

here it is. idk either

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LoadCharacter.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Team = plr:GetAttribute("Team")
end)

[sonic_848 (killer)]

I just said you cant get the attribute from the player

–Server

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LoadCharacter.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Team)
	plr.Team = game:GetService("Teams"):FindFirstChild(Team)
end)

–Client

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
 game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LoadCharacter:FireServer(plr:GetAttribute("Team"))
end)
