so how the script now looks? The only problem now is the incorrect damage, right?

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local AddWoodEvent = RS.AddWood

local function SearchForAxe(Container) -- Move local function outside of connection
	for _, Item in Container:GetChildren() do
		if not Item:IsA("Tool") or Item.Name ~= "Axe" then continue end
		return Item
	end
end

AddWoodEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) -- (A) Were you supposed to add "Wood" as a parameter
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local Axe = SearchForAxe(Character) -- (B) Does the character have multiple axes at once?
	if not Axe then return end -- Player has no axe equipped
	local Damage = Axe:WaitForChild("damage", 5)
	if not Damage then warn("Axe has no damage value") return end
	
	local PlayerAxes = Player:WaitForChild("axes", 5)
	if not PlayerAxes then warn("Player has no axes") return end

	local twxWood = PlayerAxes:FindFirstChild("twxWood", 5)

	print(Damage.Value)
	wood.Value += Damage.Value * (twxWood.Value and 2 or 1) -- Multiply by 2 if twxWood, otherwise 1
	-- (A) Unknown 'Wood'
end)
#23

what about set damage as 0 at the beggining?

AddWoodEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) -- (A) Were you supposed to add "Wood" as a parameter
    local DamageValue = 0
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local Axe = SearchForAxe(Character) -- (B) Does the character have multiple axes at once?
	if not Axe then return end -- Player has no axe equipped
	DamageValue = Axe:FindFirstChild("damage", 5).Value
	if not DamageValue then warn("Axe has no damage value") return end
	
	local PlayerAxes = Player:WaitForChild("axes", 5)
	if not PlayerAxes then warn("Player has no axes") return end

	local twxWood = PlayerAxes:FindFirstChild("twxWood", 5)

	print(DamageValue)
	wood.Value += Damage * (twxWood.Value and 2 or 1) -- Multiply by 2 if twxWood, otherwise 1
	-- (A) Unknown 'Wood'
end)
#24

it still prints the same number as the first axe

#25

And set it to 0 again at the end, what will it print out

#26

It is still printing the same number as the first axe

#27

And how does the firingevent script look like?

#28 
game.ReplicatedStorage.AddWood:FireServer()
#29 
DamageValue = Axe:FindFirstChild("damage")
if not DamageValue then warn("Axe has no damage value") return end

having a set damage value wouldn’t change the orginal axe’s value
(it would probably only be used as a “default” damage value)

#30

after removing the extra stff it is saying attempt to preform arithmetic (mul) on isntence and number

wood.Value += DamageValue * (twxWood.Value and 2 or 1) -- Multiply by 2 if twxWood, otherwise 1
#31

because DamageValue is a ValueBase (instance)
add a .Value to the end

wood.Value += DamageValue.Value * (twxWood.Value and 2 or 1) -- Multiply by 2 if twxWood, otherwise 1

edit: i’m taking a while to respond because i’m playing l4d2

#32

it still stays the same value as the first axe

#33

Where is it? I dont see any localscript inside the tool on the video showed earlier

#34

it is in a localscript and the localscript is the axe

#35

Can you run play and check damage value within the axe on the server side?

#36

Maybe something changes the value of the other axe to the value of previous axe.
Are the values preset or are they changed through a script?

#37

like in the explorer tab or print()

#38

explorer. Next to stop button there will be “current: client”, click it to get to server’s pov

#39

ok, so it does change, but when i remove the axe it only does it client side not serverside, but i dont think that should be a problem saying we are checking it on the character

#40

so on server side the damage in both axes is 20?
