Need help with crafting script

[CrashAnimates]

l placed this local script in a GUI button and it doesn’t seem to give the tool but when I do ReplicatedStorage it does but the problem with that is the knife stops working when it is placed in ReplicatedStorage, how do I make the script take the tool from ServerStorage?

local rs = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”)
local BigMaterKnife = rs:WaitForChild((“Knife - Big Mater”))
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local backpack = player.Backpack

local function craftPressed()
local Ticket = backpack:FindFirstChild(“Big Mater Cinema Ticket”)
local Knife = backpack:FindFirstChild(“Knife”)
if Ticket then
if Knife then
Knife:Destroy()
Ticket:Destroy()
local BigMaterKnifeC = BigMaterKnife:Clone()
BigMaterKnifeC.Parent = backpack
end
end
end

script.Parent.CraftButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(craftPressed)

Localscripts can’t access ServerStorage. Use a remote event to run a server script where the tool gets cloned.

It seems that you are trying to create a script that allows the player to craft a specific knife by consuming a specific item, “Big Mater Cinema Ticket”, in their backpack.

The script you have provided looks correct, with the exception that it is trying to find the “Knife - Big Mater” item in the ServerStorage service instead of the ReplicatedStorage service.

To fix this, you can simply change the following line:

local rs = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

to

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

This will allow the script to find the “Knife - Big Mater” item in the ReplicatedStorage service and clone it for the player’s backpack.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This is also correct but I think @CrashAnimates wanted to clone the item while it is parented to the ServerStorage.

[esadams188 (CGI_ERIC)]

To clone an item that is parented to the ServerStorage service, you can use the Clone method on the item itself.

For example, if you have an item called “Knife - Big Mater” that is parented to the ServerStorage service, you can clone it with the following code:

local rs = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local BigMaterKnife = rs:WaitForChild("Knife - Big Mater")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local backpack = player.Backpack

local BigMaterKnifeC = BigMaterKnife:Clone()
BigMaterKnifeC.Parent = backpack

This will create a clone of the “Knife - Big Mater” item and parent it to the player’s backpack.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

You can’t access ServerStorage or ServerScriptService via LocalScript.

[esadams188 (CGI_ERIC)]

That’s correct! In Roblox, the ServerStorage and ServerScriptService services can only be accessed from a script running on the server. This means that you cannot use a LocalScript to access or interact with these services.

If you want to access or interact with items in the ServerStorage service or execute server-side code from a LocalScript , you can use a RemoteFunction to communicate with the server.

Here’s an example of how you can use a RemoteFunction to clone an item from the ServerStorage service and add it to a player’s backpack:

Server-side script:

local rs = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

function giveItem(player, itemName)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(player)
	local backpack = player.Backpack
	
	local item = rs:WaitForChild(itemName)
	local itemClone = item:Clone()
	itemClone.Parent = backpack
	
	return true
end

Local script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local backpack = player.Backpack

local giveItemFunction = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("giveItem")

local function giveItem(itemName)
	local success = giveItemFunction:InvokeServer(player.UserId, itemName)
	
	if success then
		print(itemName .. " added to backpack!")
	else
		print("Error adding item to backpack")
	end
end

giveItem("Knife - Big Mater")

In this example, the giveItem function is defined in a server-side script and is called using the InvokeServer method on a RemoteFunction object. This allows the client (the player running the LocalScript ) to request that the server execute the giveItem function and provide the necessary arguments.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

You’re going to need a client → server → client remote event.
Client → Server: The local script will tell the server that it needs to take the tool out from serverstorage
Server → Client: the tool gets cloned to the client.

[esadams188 (CGI_ERIC)]

Yes, that’s correct! Using a RemoteEvent to communicate between the client and the server is another way to allow a LocalScript to access or interact with items in the ServerStorage service or execute server-side code.

Server-side script:

local rs = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

game.ReplicatedStorage.giveItem:OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, itemName)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(player)
	local backpack = player.Backpack
	
	local item = rs:WaitForChild(itemName)
	local itemClone = item:Clone()
	itemClone.Parent = backpack
end)

Local script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.ReplicatedStorage.giveItem.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(itemName)
	local backpack = player.Backpack
	local item = backpack:FindFirstChild(itemName)
	
	if item then
		print(itemName .. " added to backpack!")
	else
		print("Error adding item to backpack")
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.giveItem:FireServer(player.UserId, "Knife - Big Mater")

In this example, the client (the player running the LocalScript ) sends a request to the server using the FireServer method on a RemoteEvent object. The server then executes the event’s OnServerEvent connection, which clones the specified item from the ServerStorage service and adds it to the player’s backpack. The server then sends a response to the client using the OnClientEvent connection of the RemoteEvent , allowing the client to confirm that the item was added to the backpack.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
