Text button not updated in code

I’m not sure how to explain it in the title but I’ve been struggling with this for hours now.

I want the button the code is referencing to change when the button is no longer active but for some reason, even though it know the sl value has changed it doesn’t update which button it’s referencing, or at least doesn’t reference the right one. I tried putting it in a while loop and that kind of works but one click makes the sl value go up way too much, even with a wait(1) at the start.

local frame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Gui.Buying.Menu.Frame
local team = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team
local sl = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Level.Shop.Value

frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	print("Why won't you work?")
	local price = frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].Price.Value
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy.On:FireServer(tostring(sl),"Shop",price)
end)
frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].MouseLeave:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy.Off:FireServer(tostring(sl),"Shop")
end)
frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local mon = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Money.Value
	local price = frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].Price.Value
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy.Click:FireServer(tostring(sl),"Shop", price)
	if mon >= price then
		frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].Visible = false
		frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].Active = false
		sl = sl + 1
		frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].Visible = true
		frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].Active = true
	end
end)

This is only part of the code but I think it’s the relevant bit. I don’t think this is an issue server side so it’s just this local script

Oh and it does work when sl is at 1. Nothing after that.

try printing the message the remoteevent gets. (on the server)
if that works. can we see part of the servercode?

19:11:35.820 Why won’t you work? - Client - Buying:11
19:11:35.837 OtterCarbonara 1 Shop 0 - Server - Buy:6

That is what I get when I hover over the button the first time.
When I then click it and it moves on to the next button I get nothing in the output.

This is all of the script server side

local on = game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy.On
local off = game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy.Off
local click = game.ReplicatedStorage.Buy.Click

on.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,Lvl,t,price)
	print(player, Lvl, t, price)
	local mon = game.Players[tostring(player)].leaderstats.Money.Value
	local team = game.Players:FindFirstChild(tostring(player))["Team"]
	if mon < price then
		game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[tostring(t)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."hr"].Parent = workspace[tostring(team)]
	elseif mon >= price then
		game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[tostring(t)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."h"].Parent = workspace[tostring(team)]
	end
end)

off.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,Lvl,t)
	local team = game.Players:FindFirstChild(tostring(player))["Team"]
	if workspace[tostring(team)]:FindFirstChild(tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."h") ~= nil then
		workspace[tostring(team)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."h"].Parent = game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[t]
	elseif workspace[tostring(team)]:FindFirstChild(tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."hr") ~= nil then
		workspace[tostring(team)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."hr"].Parent = game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[t]
	end
end)

click.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,Lvl,t,price)
	local team = game.Players:FindFirstChild(tostring(player))["Team"]
	local mon = game.Players[tostring(player)].leaderstats.Money.Value
	if mon >= price then
		if (Lvl - 1) ~= 0 then
			workspace[tostring(team)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl - 1)].Parent = game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[t]
		end		
		game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[tostring(t)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl)].Parent = workspace[tostring(team)]
		workspace[tostring(team)][tostring(t).."Lvl"..tostring(Lvl).."h"].Parent = game.ServerStorage.Models:FindFirstChild(tostring(team))[tostring(t)]
		mon = mon - price
	end
end)

do you mean “mouseLeave”
or when closing the shop gui?

When you click on the button it disappears and then the code client side should be referencing the next button in its place. Instead it does nothing. When I say no longer active I mean just like gone. Visible and Active set to false and the next button has Visible and Active set to true.

if mon >= price then

its a chalange XD
it might be that this check is done after the server has adjusted your money value?

I don’t think it’s anything to do with money. I give myself like a billion. Since I don’t get the output from the local script I think it’s just because it’s being annoying.

i`m dedicated now, mind if i join u in studio?

Here’s a copy of the file. Ignore any outputs about the seating and the temp free model. I’ll fix that later.

there is no itteration trough all the buttons

frame.Shop["Lvl"..tostring(sl)].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

this will only run this function for the first button
use a loop to go trough all the buttons to connect the function

12

that being said, why not change the text on the button and the matching price?
you can do that on the server, so you only need to send the remote event when it is clicked

If you change the value from a LocalScript the server won’t see the change

14

I didn’t think of that. I will work with that and get back to you. That’s smart.

15

There isn’t any problems server side. It’s just client side.

I’ve managed to get that to work. Thanks for the idea.
