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

Asked 196 views1 answers

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.

No, normal scripts.

I tried them with a local script, and it still didn't work.

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.

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)
