How To Make A Script To Buy SOmething?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a mall in my game, and the mall is the place where players can spend their money. I want to make a script that gives a player their pizza if they have 15 or more Cash, but the parts where the Cash value in leaderstats is changed don’t work.

Script:

function Clicked(player)

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 15 then
	
	local y = player.Backpack
local z = game.Lighting["Pizza"]
z:Clone().Parent = y  
game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 15
script.Parent.Purchase:Play()
	
end

end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(Clicked)

Is this in a local or server script? I see so many security flaws here that I need more info

#3

Oh, a server script.

found your problem then - you can’t use localplayer in a server script.

#5

But if I place it in a local script, will the other players be able to see the pizza and see the Cash value change?

#6

nope. You will have to use Remotes to pull this system off.

Actually - you can use the Player argument of the Click detector and just keep it in a server script

#7

No. Think LocalScript as front-end and the Server Script as the back-end.
I’d use RemoteEvents/RemoteFunctions for this.
May I ask, why are you using LocalPlayer for a server script?

#8

I’m kind of new at scripting, so I didn’t know that you couldn’t use LocalPlayer in a ServerScript.

Take a look at this article which explains the client-server model of Roblox. This should help you avoid such mistakes as using localplayer on the server

I’ve posted a solution in my previous reply so give that a look
