so im making a script that gives an apple to an npc by dialouge if they have one but nothing is working or printing:

local dialog = script.Parent.Parent

print("Script is running")

dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(player, choice)
    print("DialogChoiceSelected event triggered")
    if choice == script.Parent then
        print("Choice is 'give'")
        local backpack = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
        if backpack then
            print("Backpack found")
            local apple = backpack:FindFirstChild("Apple")
            if apple then
                apple:Destroy()
                print("Apple has been destroyed from the player's backpack.")
            else
                print("Apple not found in backpack")
            end
        else
            print("Backpack not found")
        end
    else
        print("Choice is not 'give'")
    end
end)

Where’s the script is? You need to know that for example localscripts are not working inside workspace.

#3

The .DialogChoiceSelected event has to be called in a localscript or a modulescript required by a localscript, and that the localscript is in StarterPlayerScripts or something that the client controls. Make sure you’re calling it in the right place!

#4

its inside the dialogue choice, a local script

#5

Local Script to add an apple on backpack? You should use a normal script (serverscript).
Local scripts are not working for this type of things.

#6

i meant to say server script, like u have the apple in starterpack, and i want to give it to the npc and its a server sccript

#7

Can you send me screenshot from where’s the script better?

    if choice == script.Parent then
        print("Choice is 'give'")
        local backpack = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
        if backpack then
            print("Backpack found")

            if apple then
                apple:Destroy()
                print("Apple has been destroyed from the player's backpack.")

I saw what’s the problem, just giveme a few minutes to fix it

The issue is that you’re trying to detect an event that can only be used on the clientside in the serverside.

dialog.DialogChoiceSelected cannot be read on the server. You must run it in a local script.
