BoolValue printing false despite being true?

Asked by

Hello, i have a bool value in players that turn true when they press the GUI. Except when the function fires despite the bool value being true to prints false and acts false. Thank you.

Trouble code:

local function setPosition(player)
    wait(5)
    local toJoin = player:FindFirstChild("toJoin")
    if toJoin.Value then
        print("true")
    else if toJoin.Value == false then
            print("False")
        end
    end
end


startRace.Changed:Connect(function(value)
    if value then
        for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
            setPosition(player)
        end 
    end

Full Code:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local startRace = replicatedStorage.StartRace


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local inRace = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
    inRace.Value = false
    inRace.Name = "inRace"

    local toJoin = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
    toJoin.Value = false
    toJoin.Name = "toJoin"  
end)

local function setPosition(player)
    wait(5)
    local toJoin = player:FindFirstChild("toJoin")
    if toJoin.Value then
        print("true")
    else if toJoin.Value == false then
            print("False")
        end
    end
end

startRace.Changed:Connect(function(value)
    if value then
        for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
            setPosition(player)
        end 
    end
end)

wait(10)
startRace.Value = true

Gui Changer Code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local screenGui = playerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local toJoin = screenGui.ToJoin.ToJoinButton

toJoin.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local toJoin = player:FindFirstChild("toJoin")
    if toJoin.Value then
        toJoin.Value = false
    else
        toJoin.Value = true
    end
end)

The mistake is in the relationship between client and server Shounak123 461 — 4y

Well, before answering this question, is the gui changer code in a local script or a server script? You cannot change a server value with a local script. You could try firing a remote event to change it on a server script?
