Server doesn't detect boolvalue changing, but client does?

[notsad2 (nots7d)]

I’ve got a reloading script that… reloads!

that very same script also does an “anticheat”, to prevent players from doing funny stuff

essentially, unequipping a weapon will set a boolvalue to false (on server side)

however this doesn’t necessarily seem to work, since reequipping the weapon doesn’t allow you to shoot at all (because reloading is true) (CLIENT)

but you can still trigger a reload despite it being true?
triggering a reload will fire the remote event and will trigger the anticheat, which will sadly result in you being kicked (frown)

CLIENT SCRIPT:

-- // SERVICES AND EVENTS
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ReloadEvent = RS:WaitForChild("GunEvents").ReloadEvent
local weaponStats = require(RS.ClientWeaponStats)

-- // MISC
local weapon = nil
local connection = nil

char.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if not child:IsA("Tool") then return end
	weapon = child
	
	if weapon.WeaponType.Value == "GUN" then
		local Shooting = weapon:WaitForChild("Shooting")
		local Reloading = weapon:WaitForChild("Reloading")
		local Bullets = weapon:WaitForChild("Bullets")
		local Equipping = weapon:WaitForChild("Equipping")
		local MAX_BULLETS = weaponStats[weapon.Name]["MAX_BULLETS"]
		
		local Reload = weapon:WaitForChild("Reload")
		local EmptyReload = weapon:WaitForChild("EmptyReload")
		
		connection = UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			if input.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then return end
			if input.KeyCode ~= Enum.KeyCode.R then return end
			if Shooting.Value then return end
			if Reloading.Value then return end
			if Bullets.Value == MAX_BULLETS then return end
			if Equipping.Value then return end
			
			if Bullets.Value > 0 then
				local ReloadAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(Reload)
				
				ReloadAnim:Play()
				ReloadEvent:FireServer()
			else
				local EmptyReloadAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(EmptyReload)
				EmptyReloadAnim:Play()
				ReloadEvent:FireServer()
			end
		end)
	end
end)

char.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
	if not child:IsA("Tool") then return end
	weapon = nil
end)

SERVER SCRIPT

local ReloadEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GunEvents").ReloadEvent
local gunInfo = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("Weapons"):WaitForChild("Gun").GunStats)



ReloadEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local tool = player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")	
	local reloading = tool.Reloading
	local shooting = tool.Shooting
	

	if tool.Bullets.Value > gunInfo[tool.Name]["MAX_BULLETS"] then player:Kick("Gluttony is a sin.") return end
	if tool.Equipping.Value then player:Kick("Someone's in a hurry.") return end
	if shooting.Value then player:Kick("Keep trying.") return end
	if reloading.Value then player:Kick("Very funny.") return end
	tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		reloading.Value = false
	end)

	-- // NORMAL RELOAD
	if tool.Bullets.Value > 0 then
		reloading.Value = true
-- the rest of the script here just reloads, doesn't set any values to true nor false (unless the reloading has finished), so i won't include it here

gotta bump this because i am clueless (and still haven’t found a fix lOl) (why is this happening sob sob)

I noticed that you didn’t disconnect UIS InputBegan connection. It won’t automatically disconnect if it got overwritten. maybe try disconnect it on removed?

@notsad2

char.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
	if not child:IsA("Tool") then return end
    connection:Disconnect()
	weapon = nil
end)
