Why does this script work in studio but not in game?

Asked 1,801 views1 answers

The script is supposed to change the player's shirt and pants when they enter the game. It works perfectly in studio solo mode, but not when I actually go in game. Filtering enabled is on as well.

wait(2)
if script.Parent.Parent.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Bright red") then
if workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name):FindFirstChild("Shirt") == nil then
if workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name):FindFirstChild("Pants") ~= nil then
workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name).Pants:remove()
a = Instance.new("Shirt")
a.ShirtTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356273812")
a.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
b = Instance.new("Pants")
b.PantsTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356262036")
b.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
else
a = Instance.new("Shirt")
a.ShirtTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356273812")
a.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
b = Instance.new("Pants")
b.PantsTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356262036")
b.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
end
else 
if workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name):FindFirstChild("Pants") ~= nil then
workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name).Shirt:remove()
workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name).Pants:remove()
a = Instance.new("Shirt")
a.ShirtTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356273812")
a.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
b = Instance.new("Pants")
b.PantsTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356262036")
b.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
else
workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name).Shirt:remove()
a = Instance.new("Shirt")
a.ShirtTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356273812")
a.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
b = Instance.new("Pants")
b.PantsTemplate = ("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356262036")
b.Parent = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
end
end

You are currently running with FilteringEnabled set to true, as such you must use RemoteEvent

First, you must make a script in the ServerScriptService, and put this into the script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	local createEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
	createEvent.Parent = player
	createEvent.Name = "cEvent"
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
		wait(5)
		createEvent:FireClient(player)
	end)
end)

This will now connect to the players client and tell it to do something.

Next, you must receive the RemoteEvent using a LocalScript We will use this line of code inside the players StarterGui in a LocalScript:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character

player:WaitForChild("cEvent").OnClientEvent:connect(function()
	if player.TeamColor == game.Teams["Bright red Team"].TeamColor then --[[ This will get the teamname, instead of the color... so you will need to change 'Bright red Team' to the team you wish to have. ]]
		if character:FindFirstChild("Shirt") then
			character.Shirt:Destroy()
		end
		if character:FindFirstChild("Pants") then
			character.Pants:Destroy()
		end
		Instance.new("Shirt",character).ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356273812"
		Instance.new("Pants",character).PantsTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=356262036"
	end
end)

How do you know for sure he is running a game with filtering enabled set to true?\

When he asked his question he said: "Filtering enabled is on as well.", in the first paragraph of his statement. FilteringEnabled being on means that FilteringEnabled is set to true.
