Which script do I need to choose?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

So i’ve been searching the developers hub for remote functions, and I found two scripts, but I don’t know which one I need to use for my game.

I’m currently making something that when a player clicks a purchase button that a model gets cloned(I already know how I can clone that model). And for that I need remote functions, so no exploiter/hacker can give themself a lot of cash. But i’m not sure which script is most useful to use. server to client or client to server?

And after that I need to know how I can make it that when a player clicks the purchase button that it does something.

Can someone help me with this?

Here is the script from client to server;

-- LocalScript
 
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
 
local createPartRequest = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CreatePartRequest")
 
local newPart = createPartRequest:InvokeServer()
print("The server created this part for me:", newPart)
 
 
-- ==================================================
 
 
-- Script
 
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
 
local createPartRequest = Instance.new("RemoteFunction")
createPartRequest.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
createPartRequest.Name = "CreatePartRequest"
 
local function onCreatePartRequested(player)
	print(player.Name, "wants to create a new part")
	local newPart = Instance.new("Part")
	newPart.Parent = game.Workspace
	return newPart
end
 
createPartRequest.OnServerInvoke = onCreatePartRequested

and here is the script server to client;

-- Server
 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
 
local createPopupRequest = Instance.new("RemoteFunction")
createPopupRequest.Name = "CreatePopupRequest"
createPopupRequest.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
 
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	createPopupRequest:InvokeClient(player)
	player:LoadCharacter()
end
 
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
 
 
-- ==================================================
 
 
-- LocalScript
 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
 
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local createPopupRequest = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CreatePopupRequest")
 
local function onCreatePopupRequested()
	local screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
	screen.Parent = playerGui
	local closeButton = Instance.new("TextButton")
	closeButton.Text = "Welcome to the game! Click me to play!"
	closeButton.Size = UDim2.new(0, 300, 0, 50)
	closeButton.Parent = screen
 
	closeButton.MouseButton1Click:Wait()
	closeButton.Visible = false
end
 
createPopupRequest.OnClientInvoke = onCreatePopupRequested

Since the purchase button is on the client side, you would need a Client → Server connection, which is what the first script demonstrates.

#3

The client always asks, the client can say “can I buy this sword?” the server will then check if they have enough money and respond with “yes or no”

You use remote events and functions to communicate from client to server, but if you don’t use them properly the game can still be exploited.

I recommend you learn about Remote Events/Functions, and FilteringEnabled/exploits

good post

Alright, btw I already read that post but that doesnt matter.

So where does those script needs to be in? I guess that the server script needs to be in serverscriptservice.

But where does the other script needs to be in? In the purchase button?

Here is the cloning script;

wait(10) -- i put this in here so i can change the value to less or higher before it starts running


local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Cash = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Cash")
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local hover = game.SoundService.HoverSound

if Cash.Value < 300 then -- checks if the cash is under 300
	script.Parent.Parent.Text = "You don't have enough cash to buy this!" -- sets the text to this
	script.Parent.Text = "Close"
else
	script.Parent.Parent.Text = "This will cost: $300 Are you sure?"
end

script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	hover:Play()
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(click)
	wait(5)
	if Cash.Value < 300 then
		warn("You dont have enough cash")
		script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	else
		script.Parent.Parent.Text = "This will cost: $300 Are you sure?"
		script.Parent.Text = "Purchase"
		
		script.Parent.Purchase.Disabled = true -- disables the script
		print("PurchaseScript has been disabled") -- prints what happening
		
		
		Cash.Value = Cash.Value - 300 -- sets the cash to min 300
		print("leaderstats has been changed with -300")
	
		script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BackGround.Philips.PriceSetter.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BackGround.Philips.Selection.Visible = false
	
	
	
		wait(5)
	
	
		local philipsclone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tvs.Philipstv1.PartsOfPhilips:Clone()
		philipsclone.Parent = game.Workspace
		local position = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tvs.Philipstv1.PartsOfPhilips.Screen

		-- dit en de regel eronder is voor de positie waar hij word gecloned dus in de machine
		for i, v in pairs(philipsclone:GetChildren()) do
			v.Anchored = false
			v.CanCollide = true
			v.Transparency = 0
		end
	
		-- positions	
		local rotatepositionCFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(0), 0)
		position.CFrame = position.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(rotatepositionCFrame)
		print("The CFrame has been set")
		wait(10)
		
		wait(30)
		print("30 Seconds are over!")
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BackGround.Philips.PriceSetter.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BackGround.Philips.Selection.Visible = true
		script.Disabled = false
		print("PurchaseScript has been enabled")
		game.StarterGui.ComputerMenu.Menu1.Philips1Info.PurchaseChecker.Purchase.Purchase.Disabled = false
	end
end)

Now how should I put this into the other script for the remote function?
