Why don't these scripts work in an actual server? They work in offline mode. I need an answer quick

Asked by 9 years ago

I have these scripts that don't work in actual servers. They work when I go in test mode in the studio. Script 1:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Parent.Gold1.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Parent.Gold2.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Parent.Chest.Transparency = 1
local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum then
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Beli.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Beli.Value + 6
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Bounty.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Bounty.Value + 14
    wait()
end
wait()
script.Parent.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Parent.Chest.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Parent.Gold1.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Parent.Gold2.Transparency = 0
wait()
script.Parent.Parent.Coverer.CanCollide = true
script.Parent.Parent.Coverer.Transparency = 0
wait(30)
script.Parent.Parent.Coverer.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Parent.Coverer.CanCollide = false
end)
-- Ik I got too many parents but its still fine

Script 2:

script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function()
wait()
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Beli.Value >= 50 then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Beli.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Beli.Value - 50
script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 1
wait()
script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(2.5)
script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 0
wait()
script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = true
print("Bought")
else
print("Not enough Beli")
end
end)
-- 2 many parents again, but it works in offline mode

Please answer?

Are these both LocalScripts? LocalPlayer is *only* accessible in live servers from LocalScripts. adark 5487 — 9y

No, normal scripts. Operation_Meme 890 — 9y

I tried them with a local script, and it still didn't work. Operation_Meme 890 — 9y

You can only access "LocalPlayer" in LocalScripts, and LocalScripts don't run in Workspace. You're going to have to make some large edits so you can get the player correctly. Discern 1007 — 9y

Well, the edits to be made aren't so major. As said by Discern and AdarkTheScoundrel, LocalPlayer can only be accessed from LocalScripts in a descendant of the Player. You don't exactly need to use a LocalScript.

-- I've decided to make variables as seeing 'script.Parent' a lot throughout the script is a bit messy.
Gold1 = script.Parent.Parent.Gold1
Gold2 = script.Parent.Parent.Gold2
Chest = script.Parent.Parent.Chest
Coverer = script.Parent.Parent.Coverer

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
        p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        Gold1.Transparency = 1
        Gold2.Transparency = 1
        Chest.Transparency = 1
        p.leaderstats.Beli.Value = p.leaderstats.Beli.Value + 6
        p.leaderstats.Bounty.Value = p.leaderstats.Bounty.Value + 14
        script.Parent.Transparency = 0
        Chest.Transparency = 0
        Gold1.Transparency = 0
        Gold2.Transparency = 0
        Coverer.CanCollide = true
        Coverer.Transparency = 0
        wait(30)
        Coverer.Transparency = 1
        Coverer.CanCollide = false
    end
end)

Considering Script2 was going to be used for a ClickDetector..

script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function(p) -- If you put a parameter, it defines the player (ClickDetectors)
    wait() -- Not necessary
    if (p.leaderstats.Beli.Value >= 50) then
        p.leaderstats.Beli.Value = p.leaderstats.Beli.Value - 50
        script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 1
        wait()
        script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = false
        wait(2.5)
        script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 0
        wait()
        script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = true
        print("Bought")
    else
        print("Not enough Beli")
    end
end)
