_G is returning nil how do I fix this?
local script
1 | _G.test = "hi" |
server script

2 | print(_G.test) |
I also tried
server script
1 | _G.test = "hi" |
local script
1 | wait(5) |

_G does not cross the server / client boundary. appxritixn 2235 — 3y

As @phxntxsmic mentioned, _G variables can only stay in the server boundary, and perhaps the client boundary, though I haven't tested the latter.
You are better off creating a StringValue in the Workspace or wherever, and reading from that in your LocalScript.
Server Script
1 | local stuff = Instance.new("StringValue") |
2 | stuff.Name = "test" |
3 | stuff.Parent = workspace |
4 | stuff.Value = "hi" |
Local Script
1 | print(workspace:WaitForChild("test").Value) --Output: hi |
If you want the client and the server to communicate with each other, I advise you to read up on RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions.
Happy coding!
