Why does my touched event work only if a certain person does it?
I'm making something where you claim an area if you walk up to it, and then nobody can walk into yours and you can't walk into anyone else's
In Studio it works perfectly, but when I go into the game with my alt, things get confusing
The touched events seem to only trigger when I do it, when my alt does it, literally nothing happens, and on top of that, it happens for everyone, not just me
What?
Code (ServerScript in ServerScriptService):
local Nil = game.Players:WaitForChild("Nil")
local Owner1 = Instance.new("StringValue")
local Owner2 = Instance.new("StringValue")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
Nil.Parent = player
player.Nil.Value = true
end)
game.Workspace.Slot1.Ownership.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Owner1.Value == "" and Player.Nil.Value == true then
Owner1.Value = Player.Name
Player.Nil.Value = false
game.Workspace.Slot1.GUI.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
else
return nil
end
if Player.Name == Owner1.Value then
game.Workspace.Slot1.Ownership.CanCollide = false
end
end
end)
game.Workspace.Slot2.Ownership.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Owner2.Value == "" and Player.Nil.Value == true then
Owner2.Value = Player.Name
Player.Nil.Value = false
game.Workspace.Slot2.GUI.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
else
return nil
end
if Player.Name == Owner2.Value then
game.Workspace.Slot2.Ownership.CanCollide = false
end
end
end)

You're parenting the BoolValue "Nil" under the first player that joins. Only the first player joining will have "Nil" as a child. To fix that, you'll clone "Nil" and parent it to each player that joins. That way everyone gets "Nil"!
Edit: Didn't see a need for Owner1 and Owner2 to be StringValues; converted them to variables
Updated code:
local Nil = game.Players:WaitForChild("Nil"):Clone() -- now we're cloning "Nil" instead of setting the original "Nil" to the variable
local Owner1 = nil
local Owner2 = nil
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Nil.Value = true
Nil.Parent = player
end)
game.Workspace.Slot1.Ownership.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Owner1 == nil and Player.Nil.Value == true then
Owner1 = Player.Name
Player.Nil.Value = false
game.Workspace.Slot1.GUI.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
else
return nil
end
if Owner1 == Player.Name then
game.Workspace.Slot1.Ownership.CanCollide = false
end
end
end)
game.Workspace.Slot2.Ownership.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Owner2 == nil and Player.Nil.Value == true then
Owner2 = Player.Name
Player.Nil.Value = false
game.Workspace.Slot2.GUI.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
else
return nil
end
if Owner2 == Player.Name then
game.Workspace.Slot2.Ownership.CanCollide = false
end
end
end)
