Why is my SurfaceGui button that decreases a value when you click it not working?
WATCH THIS IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IM SAYING: https://streamable.com/gwjcgm
I've made a SurfaceGui button with a RemoteEvent that should decrease the value "PrinterLimit" in game.Players.LocalPlayer, but it just does not work and gives me the error: "player argument must be a Player object" or "Argument 1 missing or nil".
Here's the script inside the button that should decrease the value.
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DeletePrinter = repStorage.DeletePrinter
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(Player)
DeletePrinter:FireClient(Player)
Player.PrinterLimit.Value = Player.PrinterLimit.Value - 1
end)
And the LocalScript inside StarterPlayerScripts called DecreasePrinterLimit
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DeletePrinter = repStorage.DeletePrinter
DeletePrinter.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name.."just destroyed a printer!")
end)

Two things: .MouseButton1Click doesn't have any arguments. Second: .OnClientEvent doesn't have player as the first argument, only the arguments you pass by :FireClient(). So fixing those problems you have:
-- server script
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DeletePrinter = repStorage.DeletePrinter
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- we are gonna get the player from the playerAdded event
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
DeletePrinter:FireClient(player)
player.PrinterLimit.Value -= 1 -- use -= operator
end)
end)
and
-- local script
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DeletePrinter = repStorage:WaitForChild("DeletePrinter") -- just in case
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- we got the player here
DeletePrinter.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -- no player argument
print(player.Name.."just destroyed a printer!")
end)
Hope this fixed your problem

Works perfectly, thank you! Sorry if this question was a little bit too basic but I'm having a major problem with Server to Client remotevents, now I understand them a bit more, thank you so much! ElevateTheSecond 11 — 3y
