Basically I have a script that increases the value for an Int-Value which is the SpawnPoint value as you can see in this script; but for some reason it won’t replicate for the Server side.
The Handler for GUI:
local UI = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Teleport = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Teleport")
local Counter = UI:WaitForChild("Counter")
local Level = Counter:WaitForChild("Level")
local Previous = UI:WaitForChild("Previous")
local Next = UI:WaitForChild("Next")
local Previous1 = UI:WaitForChild("Previous1")
local Next1 = UI:WaitForChild("Next1")
local CurrentValue = UI:WaitForChild("Current")
local function previousLevel()
script.Parent.Handler.Click:Play()
if CurrentValue.Value ~= 1 then
CurrentValue.Value = CurrentValue.Value - 1
player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value = player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value - 1
print("Wait")
Level.Text = CurrentValue.Value
-- teleport
Teleport:FireServer(checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(CurrentValue.Value)))
end
end
local function previousLevel2()
script.Parent.Handler.Click:Play()
if CurrentValue.Value >= 11 then
CurrentValue.Value = CurrentValue.Value - 10
player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value = player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value - 10
Level.Text = CurrentValue.Value
-- teleport
Teleport:FireServer(checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(CurrentValue.Value)))
end
end
local function nextLevel()
script.Parent.Handler.Click:Play()
if (CurrentValue.Value + 1) <= player.leaderstats.Stage.Value then
CurrentValue.Value = CurrentValue.Value + 1
player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value = player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value + 1
Level.Text = CurrentValue.Value
-- teleport
Teleport:FireServer(checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(CurrentValue.Value)))
end
end
local function nextLevel2()
script.Parent.Handler.Click:Play()
if (CurrentValue.Value + 10) <= player.leaderstats.Stage.Value then
CurrentValue.Value = CurrentValue.Value + 10
player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value = player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value + 10
Level.Text = CurrentValue.Value
-- teleport
Teleport:FireServer(checkpoints:FindFirstChild(tostring(CurrentValue.Value)))
end
end
Previous.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
previousLevel()
end)
Previous1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
previousLevel2()
end)
Next.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
nextLevel()
end)
Next1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
nextLevel2()
end)
CurrentValue.Value = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Stage.Value
Level.Text = CurrentValue.Value
player.leaderstats.Stage:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
CurrentValue.Value = player.leaderstats.Stage.Value
Level.Text = CurrentValue.Value
end)
The Checkpoint Handler:
local checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints")
for i,v in pairs(checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
player.PlayerGui.Level.Current.Value = player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value
if tonumber(v.Name) == player.leaderstats.Stage.Value + 1 then --Checks if the new checkpoint is only increasing by 1.
player.leaderstats.Stage.Value = tonumber(v.Name)
player.hidden.SpawnPoint.Value = tonumber(v.Name)
end
end
end)
end
end
The client can only change certain things for itself. It is a basic Anti-Exploit integrated into Roblox called Network Filtering (FilteringEnabled). Change the value from the server. If you absolutely need to do it on the client, you can use RemoteEvents (Make sure to do integrity checks to prevent exploitation of them.)
Anything made by the LocalScript will only affect the client in which is being run.
RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions are a connection between the client and the server. Allowing the client to “request” server-side changes. RemoteEvents can have arguments to pass data.
RemoteEvent:FireServer(args) will be fired from the client to the server, where on the server it would be detected as
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,args)), plr is the first argument, added by roblox itself, it’s the player who fired it. You can send data through the arguments (either multiple arguments or an Array) to tell the server what to do with it. I know this is hard to comprehend at first but think of this as
Instead of the Client (LocalScript) changing something, it sends a signal to the Server (Script) to change it. Changing it on the server means all clients are affected of that change.
RemoteEvents and functions work both ways, from Server to Client and from Client to Server
Getting used to them it’s just a matter of practice, understanding, and planning ahead.
However, there are still some occasions where it’s better to only alter locally. For example, group or gamepass doors. If you delete them, or change their CanCollide property on the client, the player will be able to walk through but no one else would, because for them the door is still there
So here’s the plan, since the client is only showing the updated numbers for SpawnPoint and Current; I’d make a new remote event for both of them and fire them from the local script which is the handler for the GUI?
You don’t need a remote event for each specific thing. That’s where the arguments come in even handier
Local Script removeEvent:FireServer("updateStage", 3)
Script
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, job, msg)
if job == "updateStage" then
plr.Stage.Value = msg
elseif job == "updateSpawn" then
plr.Spawn.Value = msg
end
end
So let’s say we have a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage called ‘DoUpdateStageValue’. (At least that’s what I think you’re trying to change.)
Remote:FireServer(...) is sent from the client. Think of it this way: It will tell the server, “Hey! I got a request for you. Please do something with the arguments I provided.”
Remote.OnServerEvent is an event that can be connected to. This will receive the Player and the arguments the Player sent.
We can put together something like this to change the value:
Server:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UpdateStageRemote = ReplicatedStorage.DoUpdateStageValue
UpdateStageRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, ToChange) -- Player is the player instance.
Player.Stage.Value = ToChange -- Make sure to do integrity checks. It's important! This is just a demonstration so it's not needed.
end)
Client:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UpdateStageRemote = ReplicatedStorage.DoUpdateStageValue
UpdateStageRemote:FireServer(1) -- where 1 is the value to set the stat to
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("remoteEvent")
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, job, msg)
if job == "updateStage" then
plr.Current.Value = msg
elseif job == "updateSpawn" then
plr.SpawnPoint.Value = msg
end
end)
Is this correct? Now I have to put the FireServer() in the MouseButton1Click events correct?
When you FireServer you pass to arguments (this is not a rule, this is literally what you done up there), “updateStage” and 3.
On the OnServerEvent you receive 3 arguments, plr, job, msg. Plr is the argument roblox adds, which is the player who fired it. The other two are the arguments you name, the arguments you send on the FireServer. So if you sent “updateStage” and 3, job and msg will be “updateStage” and 3 correspondingly
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, job, msg)
if job == "updateStage" then
plr.Current.Value = msg
elseif job == "updateSpawn" then
plr.SpawnPoint.Value = msg
end
end)
plr - the player
job - what you are wanting to update
msg - the new value
msg can be changed to anything like number, stagevalue, etc.
it’s essentially what is being said earlier. Remember, you can’t change values in a local script because the server can’t see it, only the client. That’s why you need this remote event.
