Script can't access existing value

Hello, I’m making a football game that lets you change the power of shooting the ball.

I created a value with power set as 10 as default. In a localscript.

But when I try to access it with a serverscript, it says it can’t find it, while when i type the same line of code in the ‘Run a command’ bar it does work. I can see that it is in my character and it seems to work fine when the value is in workspace. Could anyone help me, I can provide the whole script if needed.

Thanks,

Is it perhaps because of the kind of value? All I need is numbers ranging from 0 - 200.

I’ve tried number and intvalues.

Depends on the script error, does it say that the value is nil?
An event might run before the game is loaded, is there a script error in the output?

#4

Yes, when I go into current client mode, it doesn’t show the value, while I used a script to put it in.

The error message is:

’
Value is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.Danielosthebest”
’

Any created Instance on the client stays there and will not be replicated to others/server.

Yes, I just realized that now you said it. How do I create a value in the players character (easiest to access) without using a localscript?

So I can’t use game.player.LocalPlayer.Character

#7

Put it in startercharacterscripts

#8

Yeah, but you can get a specific player and its character from the server using another approach.

#9

Local player is only accessible in local scripts, the value only exists on the client.

#10

I’ll try, but where to put the serverscript? ServerScriptService?

#11

startercharacterscripts in StarterPlayer

#12

Then try to reference it in your script.

#13

so I could try the following?:

local power = Instance.new("IntValue")

power.Parent = game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts
#14

If there are no other issues it should resolve the problem
