NumberValue problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i cant change a numbervalue that is stored in a tool in StarterPack with a script that is stored in StarterGui, how do i do that?

#2

Well the issue is probs that the script is a local script. You can only change the things inside of the StarterPack server side if I am not mistaken due to it being what you get when you join so Roblox does not want exploiters to be able to change this.

You could use a remote event to fire to the client or somthing.

#3

well the problem is that each player needs to have their own value

#4

So then you should be using changing the number value in the Backpack/StarterGear.

local Backpack = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
local StarterGear = game.Players.LocalPlayer.StarterGear
#5

make a script in serverscriptservice and use PlayerAdded

#6

i dont think it will work

the value changes constantly in the game its a clicker game where you spam clicks and each time you do
the power of a ball that will throw increases

Why do you have a script in StarterGui?

ServerScriptService is much more preferable to store server scripts in.

#8

so it can show you the number of clicks that you pressed

#9

make it a serverscript and put it in starterplayerscript or something

#10

the value needs to be unique for each player

#12

thats why I said put it in starterplayerscript, then just use something with getting the backpack from the player (which is script.parent), im not sure if the backpack is under Players.player or under Workspace.Character, I think its under Players.player, but if its under Workspace.Character just use GetCharacterFromPlayer() instead

too lazy to check where it is lol

also dont change the value of the tool in the starterpack or else everyone who resets will get that value lol

btw @Herbz_Dev2106 pretty sure thats not what they meant

#13

From context, I believe they simply want a unique variable for each player, say I clicked my tool 5 times, giving me 5 clicks, YOU shouldn’t get 5 clicks as well, and say you click your tool 10 times, I would still only have 5 clicks, I think thats what they meant

yes thats what i meant but the problem is when i do that i get an error saying that Backpack is not a valid member of the local player

#15

Do you have a script, at which you have tried to solve this problem, so we can get a better idea?

#16

alr fine ill not be lazy and check on studios, gimme a sec

studios is not cooperating, this might take a while

#17

yes i tried sending it but its in waiting approval

#18

the script is this

local UIS = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)
ValueCounter = 0
PlValue = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Ball.Value
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
ClickCounter = ClickCounter + 1
ValueCounter = ValueCounter + 0.01
print(ClickCounter)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Clicks.Number.Text = ClickCounter
PlValue.Value = ValueCounter

end

end)

ClickCounter = 0

thank you so much for helping me!!

I see the problem: When you equipt a gear, the gear goes under the player CHARACTER instead of the inventory, so instead you would want to use “GetPlayerFromCharater” and get the player, then use something like char:FindFirstChild(“tool”) or something
