What is a LocalScript?
A LocalScript is a type of script which handles modifications and interactions within the client. For example changing the position, size, transparency, color of a GUI etc. There are much more you can do within a LocalScript but this is a summarized explanation.
What is a Script?
A Script is alternatively known as a ServerScript. A Script is a type of script which handles modifications and interactions within the server. For example changing the WalkSpeed of a humanoid, changing player data (taking your one problem as an example), modifications of values etc. There are much more you can do within a Script but this is a summarized explanation.
Now that you have learned about LocalScript and Script, let’s start learning about Remote Events.
What are RemoteEvents?
RemoteEvent(s) are instances which are used to communicate between the client and the server. RemoteEvent(s) are usually placed under ReplicatedStorage or under a folder in ReplicatedStorage (if you have too many RemoteEvent(s) you can use a folder to organize it). Here’s something you need to know. Sending values are optional so if you don’t intend on sending any values just keep it blank.
The functions and events you need to know:
Functions:
FireServer: (…): It is a function through which you can send information from the client to the server. But it must be known that the client information is valid on the server. So, here is an example. You create a part using Instance.new() on the client, send it through the RemoteEvent, but when receiving it, the server will find it as nil since the part isn’t available on the server.
RemoteEvent:FireServer(...)
FireClient: (Player: Player, …): It is a function through which you can send information from the server to the client. Even if you don’t want to send any values to the client, it is a must to put the Player in the first argument since you’re communicating with the client.
RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player: Player, ...)
FireAllClients: (…): Same as FireClient, except you don’t need to put the Player argument and it sends to every client in the server.
RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(...)
Events:
OnServerEvent: When you fire your RemoteEvent from the client to the server, you use the OnServerEvent event to receive it. Here’s an example of how you use it:
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player: Player, ...)
-- Code
end)
This event gives you the player who fired the RemoteEvent as the 1st argument and the other ones as the ones you sent through FireServer function if you sent any.
OnClientEvent: Same as OnServerEvent except it is received on the client and it doesn’t provide you with the player as the 1st argument since you can get the player using game.Players.LocalPlayer (You use OnClientEvent when you use FireAllClients as well.)
Now, here is an example:
A client sends a text to the server using a TextButton and a TextBox and the server tries to put your text on a BillboardGui. Without RemoteEvent(s) the action is impossible. So, let’s try doing this example right here!
Inside the LocalScript
--// Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
--// ReplicatedStorage Variables
local SendTextRE = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SendTextRE")
-- RE(RemoteEvent)
--// GUI Variables
local TextButton = script.Parent.TextButton
local TextBox = script.Parent.TextBox
--// Main
TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if TextBox.Text ~= nil then -- Checking if the text of the TextBox isn't nil
SendTextRE:FireServer(TextBox.Text)
end
end)
Inside the Script
--// Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
--// ReplicatedStorage Variables
local SendTextRE = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SendTextRE")
--// Main
SendTextRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Text)
game.Workspace.Part.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = Player.Name .. "sent the text: " .. Text
end)
Now, that we have completely learned about RemoteEvents let’s try to fix your problem!
Inside your use function in the LocalScript, you change the Clicks’ and the Rebirths’ value which is supposed to be changed on the server. So, let’s change that!
(Please rename this remote event I can’t find ideas to what I can name this remote event to.)
local ClickButton = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ChangeLeaderstatsValue = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeLeaderstatsValue")
function use()
ChangeLeaderstatsValue:FireServer() -- We don't need to send any information because it's useless.
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(use)
And now in our Script:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore")
local ChangeLeaderstatsValue = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeLeaderstatsValue")
local PLUSREBIRTH = 1
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = plr
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Clicks = Instance.new("IntValue")
Clicks.Parent = leaderstats
Clicks.Name = "Clicks"
local Rebiths = Instance.new("IntValue")
Rebiths.Parent = leaderstats
Rebiths.Name = "Rebirths"
local data, data2
local success, errormassage = pcall(function()
data = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Clicks")
data2 = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Rebirths")
end)
if success then
Clicks.Value = data
Rebiths.Value = data2
print("Load data successfully!")
else
Clicks.Value = 0
Rebiths.Value = 0
print("Error save data, send it in discord server 'link'")
warn(errormassage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local succes, errormassage = pcall(function()
dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Clicks", plr.leaderstats.Clicks.Value)
dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Rebirths", plr.leaderstats.Rebiths.Value)
end)
if succes then
print("Data save successfully!")
else
print("There was an issue while saving data")
warn(errormassage)
end
end)
ChangeLeaderstatsValue.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) -- Receiving the remote event here.
-- Doing all the modifications in the server instead of in the client
local Clicks = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Clicks")
local Rebirths = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Rebirths")
Clicks.Value += 1
if Clicks.Value > 100 then
Clicks.Value = 0
Rebirths.Value += 1
PLUSREBIRTH += 1
end
end)
Again, yes. As @HMgamingTheSecondary (Apologize for pinging) said, you should check out the page about Remote Functions and Events
