How to fix server side damage script?

Asked 388 views2 answers

Im trying to make it so when you punch you deal damage, i have the local script i just need help with the server script to send the damage to the server but i have no idea on what im doing.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Punch = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Punch")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local str = player.leaderstats.strength

Punch.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(str)
end)

This is what i have so far, im getting the error "attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats' i want to make it so the more strength you have that's the amount of damage you do so if u earned 100 strength you do 100 damage, etc.

i can't really help with the index nil with leaderstats thing but i do think i see something else, on local str = player.leaderstats.strength you should add .Value to the end of it so it can be assigned to the value of strength and not just the variable strength

If the script you put is the server script, you can't access LocalPlayer from a serverside script. Has to be called from a local script only. Alternative way of getting the player is game.PlayerAdded

Thanks for the help, i've gotten it now heres the updated script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Punch.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, humanoid)
	local str = player.leaderstats.strength.Value
	humanoid:TakeDamage(str)
end)

You should insert the "OnServerEvent" function inside the "PlayerAdded" function as well
