Script will not work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Let’s jump to the issue:
I put a local script to test something. It would put the value of a StringValue to either “win” or “lose”, but neither show up! (Yes, I checked spelling, it is correct.)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.WinLose.Value = "win" or "lose"
end)

Please help!

Did you make sure that the string value WinLose is not nil? If it is that is your problem. Also I am unsure that it will randomly pick win or lose. With ‘or’, I’m pretty sure it always chooses the first one. To get around this use a table and use math.random to pick a number. Then get the win or lose from the table using that index.

The problem is you’re doing this in the local script,

  1. Rule, You cannot change any sort of values inside local scripts, unless it has a remote event/function

  2. You can add a math.Random to see if it’s a win or lose

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local k
    local number = math.Random(1,2)
    if number = 1 then
        k = "win"
    else
        k = "lose"
    end
    
    script.Parent.Parent.WinLose.Value = k
end)

But still, i would recommend you fire a remote event, because the values only change on the client and not on the server

The only problem is this is an Investing Simulator, if I fire a remote, and somebody happens to buy it at the same time, they could get false results.

Do you recommend me make a system that it goes random every Wait(.5)?

Just add debounce when the player buys A

You’re putting a or for string values, which I think that only works for nil / false values.

If you get win or lose every 0.5 secconds, you can just make a script in serverscriptservice and when a player joins you always give them the value…
