[SOLVED BY ME] Why isn't my BoolValue apearing in the character?

Asked 231 views2 answers

So recently, I had a problem of the killfeed template cloning 4 times instead of once. My solution was to make a BoolValue inside of the player's character and name it "IsAlive". I would then detect the change of the BoolValue using .Changed

However, When I playtested my game with my friends, the BoolValue never actually appeared!

Here's the server script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local isAlive = game.ReplicatedStorage.IsAlive:Clone()
		isAlive.Parent = char
	end)
end)

Why isn't this working? Am I doing something wrong? There are no errors in the output other than the WaitForChild yields because the bool value doesn't exist, yada yada yada...

Please help!

Hello. Instead of cloning the BoolValue, try making one with Instance.new. Try this:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local isAlive = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		isAlive.Name = "IsAlive"
		isAlive.Parent = char
	end)
end)

I also used :GetService() since it checks if the service is existent. If it isn't it creates the service. Please upvote and accept this answer if it helps.

Thank you! I already solved my problem by simply adding the values into the starter character. Thanks for helping though!
