OnServerInvoke is a callback member of RemoteFunction; you can only set the callback value, get is not available

Update - figured it out

So I’m making a real estate system, and in another script not shown below the ProfitAmount.Value is put in a loop that determines how much the real estate property earns in profit every 5 seconds.

My problem occurs when I added a UI button in the owner pannel that allows players to increase the ProfitAmount.Value so they make $45 per 5 seconds rather than $35. When I press the button, nothing happens and the profit stays at $35.

Usually when I have an error, I can figure out the issue without needing to post here. But this is the 2nd time I’ve rewritten the code, and I was pretty confident in this attempt and then ended up getting the same exact error. Does anyone have any idea what this error means?

Why my eletrocute system isn't working?

Server invoke is a callback; so you have to define it in your code just a bit differently versus connecting it like other normal events.

If I’m not mistaken, this should work:

profitUpgradeFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
    if game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney[player.Name].Value > upgradeCost then
        if ProfitAmount.Value == profitIncrease then
            game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney[player.Name].Value = game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney[player.Name].Value - upgradeCost
            ProfitAmount.Value = profitIncrease2
        elseif ProfitAmount.Value == profitIncrease2 then
            game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney[player.Name].Value = game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney[player.Name].Value - upgradeCost
            ProfitAmount.Value = profitIncrease3
        end
        return true
    elseif game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney[player.Name].Value < upgradeCost then
        return false
    end
end

Yep! I had to do that and remove this line from the local script:

ProfitAmount.Changed.Connect(function()

Works perfectly now!
