I want to make a scrolling frame, and there's buttons in the scrolling frame. When a player joins, i want the button to clone and the button text is the player's text and when they leave the button gets destroy or disappear. The things is, I can't make it on local script and I need to do it on local script.

Pretty sure that local scripts can still use Players.PlayerAdded so this might work

view source
01game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
02    local newbutton = scrollingframe.Button:Clone()
03    newbutton.Name = player.Name -- using player name here to find button later
04    newbutton.Text = player.Name
05    newbutton.Parent = scrollingframe
06end)
07 
08game.Players.PlayerRemoved:Connect(function(player)
09    if scrollingframe:FindFirstChild(player.Name) -- checks if theres a button for the player
10        scrollingframe:FindFIrstChild(player.Name):Destroy()
11    end
12end)

Just change up the button references cause idk what u use for it

Hope that helped

I don't know if this is what you meant but..

--server script

local addEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.addEvent local removeEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.removeEvent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) addEvent:FireAllClients(player) end

game.Players.PlayerRemoved:Connect(function(player) removeEvent:FireAllClients(player) end

--local script

local addEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("addEvent") local removeEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoveEvent")

addEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player) local buttonClone = button:Clone() buttonClone.Text = player.Name buttonClone.Name = player.Name end

removeEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player) screenGui:FindFirstChild(player):Destroy() end

Let me know if you have any issues.

--remote eventless method?

local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local buttonClone = button:Clone() buttonClone.Parent = localPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui buttonClone.Text = player.Name buttonClone.Name = player.Name end

game.Players.PlayerRemoved:Connect(function(player) localPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:FindFirstChild(player.Name):Destroy() end

its not possible without remote events, you can't communicate between clients LeedleLeeRocket 1257 — 4y

it is possible. Like I thought instance.new can't be FE through a local script, but there's actually a way to make it FE WINDOWS10XPRO 438 — 4y
