Var = # function

Is ther a way to make a function with var = #? like plr.leaderstats.blah = 4:Connect:Function()

#2

Can you explain what you mean? It’s really hard to understand what you’re asking.

#3

If you are referring to creating a variable that holds an event, then yes. However, if you want to store this event in some instance object just like you mentioned above with “plr.leaderstats.blah”, I believe it is not possible. There can be some workarounds to this though like using Bindable Functions etc.

ok i tried doing it but it did not work, and nothing happned can you help me?

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local plr = game:GetService("Players")

plr.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	local play = plr.PlayerAdded:Wait()
	local axes = play:WaitForChild("axes")
	print(axes.Normalaxe.Value)
	if	axes.Normalaxe.Value == false then
		print("100")
		play.PlayerGui.Side.ShopFrame.Background.ScrollingFrame.Axe.Buy.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 221, 255)
		play.PlayerGui.Side.ShopFrame.Background.ScrollingFrame.Axe.Buy.UIStroke.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 169, 221)
	else
		return
	end
 end)

okay when you are firing the PlayerAdded event, it passes a player as an argument.

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player: Player)
    local axes = player:FindFirstChild("axes")  -- I'm assuming this is some folder in player
    if not axes then return end 
    
    local normalAxe = axes:FindFirstChild("Normalaxe")
    if not normalAxe then return end
    
    if not normalAxe.Value then
        -- do something

end)

It should be best practice to always check if an instance exists so that you do not get an error

Like this, because if so then it does not work.

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local plr = game:GetService("Players")

plr.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player: Player)
	local play = plr.PlayerAdded:Wait()
	local axes = player:FindFirstChild("axes")  -- I'm assuming this is some folder in player
	if not axes then return end 
	local normalAxe = axes:FindFirstChild("Normalaxe")
	if not normalAxe then return end
	if not normalAxe.Value then
		print(axes.Normalaxe.Value)
		if	axes.Normalaxe.Value == false then
			print("100")
			play.PlayerGui.Side.ShopFrame.Background.ScrollingFrame.Axe.Buy.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 221, 255)
			play.PlayerGui.Side.ShopFrame.Background.ScrollingFrame.Axe.Buy.UIStroke.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 169, 221)
		else
			return
		end
	end
end)

OHH it might be that you are trying to interact with the player GUI on the server side… if that is the case then you might wanna use remote events or (remote function if you want to return some value) and do GUI stuff on client side

#8

Also, it does not print anything so idk about that either.

local re -- your remote event

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player: Player)
    local axes = player:FindFirstChild("axes")  -- I'm assuming this is some folder in player
    if not axes then return end 
    
    local normalAxe = axes:FindFirstChild("Normalaxe")
    if not normalAxe then return end
    
    if not normalAxe.Value then
        re:FireClient(player, ...) -- replace ... with values you might want to use on client side

end)
#10

Where would I put ther other script to yk reseive the remote event

#11

Somewhere a client can see, ie StarterPlayerScripts even the StarterGui is a valid option.

local re -- your remote event
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

re.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    -- do GUI stuff
end)
#12

thanks, but when I change the text it just does not do anything, here is the code,

script.Parent.Side.ShopFrame.Backgroud.ScrollingFrame.Axe.Buy.Text = "EQUIP"
#13

Do not use script.Parent when you want to change any players GUI rather use the player instance (in this case the variable player)
So I would do:

local re -- your remote event
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

re.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    PlayerGui. ... .Axe.Buy.Text = "Something"  -- replace ... so that you reach the instance you want to change
end)
