This makes no sense, anything i’m doing wrong?

Sometimes you have to click off the value during testing and click back to see the updated value.

#3

But I am, I have done anything, this worked before but suddenly it stopped working…

The best thing I could recommend is to restart or reinstall studio. This isn’t a Roblox/script issue as the value seems to load correctly when referenced.

#5

I haven’t tried that yet, but even in-game (not inside studio) it still keeps saying its true in the output, but not actually true in the client/server…

#6

As I said above, if the value is referencing correctly in the script, it shouldn’t cause issues. It appears to just be that the interface was not updated when the value was changed.

I dont see any problem? Do you mean the problem is that it prints 600 times?

#8

The problem is that the Roblox Properties tab does not update the value.

#9

If you changed the value before using a localscript, it wont update, its because of client restirctions.

#10

That’s interesting. If you have your testing tab set to “Client”, shouldn’t it update on the client’s end? It’s always done that for me.

#11

Yea it should, did you use a localscript to change the value anyway?

It is updated on just a Stepped event, but that doesn’t matter. Not only the properties don’t update

#13

Do you change the value of it using a localscript or no?

#14

I am using a server-script, this is just the full script:

	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
		repeat wait() until chr.Parent == workspace
		if chr.Parent == workspace then
			local h = chr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

			h.Changed:Connect(function()

					local buy = chr:WaitForChild("BuyingSomething")
					buy.Value = true

					print(buy.Value)

A server script

#15

You can see in the out-put the little green line, so it prints it from the server-side

#16

It looks like it’s functioning fine. I recommend reinstalling studio if you haven’t.

#17

Aight’, but btw it’s not even changing in the game itself

#18

Do you mean the value isn’t updating in the output?

#19

Can I see the chidren of the value?

  • The server sets it to true and sees it
  • all the scripts ignore the fact that its true (including the properties), or even think its true except for the server-script itself and output.
