How to give the player a tool

EMars773 · September 9, 2020, 7:05pm

It does not seem to work, I tried to make it work but it still did not work. But all I need is a script that when I press a text button on a frame in starter gui it charges gold and gives the tool and stuff. Thank you!

EMars773 · September 9, 2020, 7:08pm

But I did fix the money leader board as you said

tools can be accessed from the client, as long as it is in replicatedstorage (oopsie)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
cash.Name = "Cash"
end

Next, put the tool in replicated storage. This will be accessed later.

This is a seperate script. Put this inside of ScreenGui.Shop.Tool

(local script btw)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = player.PlayerGUI.Shop.Sword
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

tool.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if player.leaderstats.Cash > Sword.Cash then
replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("Tools"):WaitForChild("Stone Axe").Parent = player.Character

end

end

I still can’t get it to work. If you need more info about what I did with things let me know. And by the way its a stone axe not a sword, and the info of the money leader board is on the first post. I can give a picture too.

the script at the bottom is where I need to do the cloning and gold charging.

Oops! I didn’t know you put the weapons inside of a folder. I edited the script. Also, would you mind showing me the script so that I can see what your issue is?

EMars773 · September 9, 2020, 8:13pm

here is the script on the bottom of that picture. (I put some extra scripts in it from previous posts)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = game.StarterGui.Buying.Frame.TextButton
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local Gold = player.leaderstats.Gold
local YourPrice = 100

tool.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Gold.Value > YourPrice then
Gold.Value -= YourPrice – Subtract the price from your gold
local Tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools[“Stone Axe”]:Clone()
Tool.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end

and here is the new money leader board script

function onPlayerEntered(player)
local stats = Instance.new(“Folder”)
stats.Name = “leaderstats”
stats.Parent = player

local Gold= Instance.new("IntValue")
Gold.Name = "Gold"
Gold.Value = 0
Gold.Parent = stats

local Alexandrite= Instance.new("IntValue")
Alexandrite.Name = "Alexandrite"
Alexandrite.Value = 0
Alexandrite.Parent = stats

end

game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(onPlayerEntered)

First of all, I need you to check if localplayer owns leaderstats.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
print("found leaderstats") 

end

If this is found then this will make the job a lot easier to accomplish. Also, I believe you might need to dip your feet in remote events. I’ll reply to you once I finished it and the full explanation.

EMars773 · September 9, 2020, 8:45pm

do I make that as a script and if yes where do I put it.

scripting1st · September 9, 2020, 8:52pm

Put this in a script or something, put it after the leaderstats thing

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
--[[

leaderstats code or something


--]]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
print("Test succeded")
end
end

EMars773 · September 9, 2020, 9:01pm

I did this

function onPlayerEntered(player)
local stats = Instance.new(“Folder”)
stats.Name = “leaderstats”
stats.Parent = player

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
		print("Test succeded")
	end
end)

local Gold= Instance.new("IntValue")
Gold.Name = "Gold"
Gold.Value = 0
Gold.Parent = stats

local Alexandrite= Instance.new("IntValue")
Alexandrite.Name = "Alexandrite"
Alexandrite.Value = 0
Alexandrite.Parent = stats

end

game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(onPlayerEntered)

but I opened the output window and it did not print “Test succeded” but the gold and alexandrite was on the leader board. Also what does this have to do with giving the player a tool.

EDIT: NVM

It means your going to have to use a different method for this, I’ll report to you in a bit.

EMars773 · September 10, 2020, 3:39pm

now I think what I need to know is how to charge gold, clone tool and parent that tool to the players backpack. I know how to do that separately but when I try to put them together it does not work. The way I want to activate this script is buy clicking a text button on a screen gui. also should I put the tool in server storage, or replicated storage.

EMars773 · September 10, 2020, 3:41pm

also this add on I put in the money leader board script should I keep it? its this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if player:FindFirstChild(“leaderstats”) then
print(“Test succeded”)
end
end)

scripting1st · September 10, 2020, 4:38pm

Remote Events might do

local remotevent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")
local sword = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Sword")
local SwordCost = 250

remoteevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if player.leaderstats.Cash > 250 then
local swordclone = sword:Clone()

swordclone.Parent == player.Backpack or player.Character

end

end

Sorry I didn’t get back to you eariler, I had a lot to do yesterday. Anyway, Here is the client script below

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local cashgui = player.PlayerGui.Shop.SwordOption
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event")

cashgui.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
event:FireServer()
end


end

Also, you need to put the sword inside of ReplicatedStorage

EMars773 · September 10, 2020, 5:19pm

where do I put these scripts, and its a stone axe. also what is remote event

scripting1st · September 10, 2020, 5:21pm

A remote event is communication from the server to client, or client to server. For example, if you want to press a key to be able to delete a part on the client, all you have to do is create a remote event.

Also, for the remote event script you put it inside of ServerScriptStorage, and then the client script belongs inside of the shop gui

If you want more info, here is a link

EMars773 · September 10, 2020, 5:34pm

ok I put both scripts in the places you said, but swordclone.Parent is underlined. I also modified it a bit for the tools folder inside of replicated storage and then the axe. do I put a remote event in replicated storage.

scripting1st · September 10, 2020, 5:35pm

Yes, you need to put the remote event in replicated storage.

EMars773 · September 10, 2020, 5:37pm

ok I put one in. now what do I do. and also the scripts you sent I feel like they should be in opposite places. and are any of them local scripts.

scripting1st · September 10, 2020, 5:39pm

Ehh, I’m currently not on roblox studio, but I’m sure you need to put the remote event on the OnServerEvent Event, but if it doesn’t work you can simply change the FireServer to FireClient. But, nevertheless I think i’m right.

also, you will need to get into the game and click on the shop and buy the stone axe or something, you can change it with your needs.
