FireClient not working?
Alright, for some odd reason the local script is not receiving the FireClient(). I have a regular script in the ServerScriptService which loads the stats, while there is a local script in the ServerStorage that is cloned into the client. In the local script, it never prints when the Client is Fired. Here is the ServerScriptService script:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
function Joined(player)
local stats = game.ServerStorage.Stats:clone()
stats.Parent = player
local key = "user_" .. player.userId
local a = DataStore:GetDataStore("Shillings")
local b = DataStore:GetDataStore("Bank")
Items = {}
Stackable = {}
Amount = {}
local Income = 0
local Rank = ""
a:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
Shillings = oldValue or 0
end)
b:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
Bank = oldValue or 0
end)
for i=1,10 do
local c = DataStore:GetDataStore("Item"..i)
c:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
table.insert(Items,i,oldValue or "None")
end)
local d = DataStore:GetDataStore("Stackable"..i)
d:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
table.insert(Stackable,i,oldValue or false)
end)
local e = DataStore:GetDataStore("Amount"..i)
e:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
table.insert(Amount,i,oldValue or 0)
end)
end
if player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) == 0 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) == 0 and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) == 0 then
Income = 10
Rank = "Civilian"
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) and player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) then
Rank = tostring(player:GetRoleInGroup(11141631))
if player:GetRankInGroup(11141631)== 1 then
Income = 10
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 1 and player:GetRankInGroup(11141631)<= 9 then
Income = 100
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 9 and player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) <= 16 then
Income = 250
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 16 and player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) <= 200 then

elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 200 then

end
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) <= player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) then
Rank = tostring(player:GetRoleInGroup(1079272))

Income = 100
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 241 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) <= 248 then
Income = 250
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 248 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) <= 251 then
Income = 500
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 251 then
Income = 1000
end
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) then

end
end
repeat wait()
until #Amount == 10
player:WaitForChild("Stats").Main:FireClient(player,1,Shillings,Bank,Income,Rank,Items,Stackable,Amount)
print(player,1,Shillings,Bank,Income,Rank,Items,Stackable,Amount)

Since the LocalScript is in ServerStorage, it's not printing anything because on the client-side, ServerStorage and ServerScriptService don't exist. You'll have to put the LocalScript in another location. I suggest putting it inside ReplicatedFirst to replicate it across all the clients

Basically, all things in it are replicated to all clients first before anything else. This is very useful for creating loading guis, tutorials, etc. itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

There's a tutorial that uses ReplicatedFirst in the ROBLOX Wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Custom_loading_screen itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

Is it fine if I put it in the Lighting? Decemus 141 — 8y

Lighting just puts it there. If you want the script to go to all clients automatically, then no. I would not recommend Lighting. itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

How would I make it so that the stats would be transferred to the script? Decemus 141 — 8y

I'm not so sure about that... itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

I would reccomend doing creating the server event in your script instead of adding physically
-- Inside Server Script
local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") -- creates the event object
event.Parent = game.Workspace -- puts the event into the Workspace, or wherever you want it
event.Name = "MyServerEvent" -- giving a name to the event so we can fire it specifically elsewhere
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function() -- define the function that will be called when the event is fired
-- this is where you put all the code you want to run when the event is fired
game.Workspace.Baseplate.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random() -- Something random//Put your code here
end)
I would also put that at the start of your server script so that it dosen't create more that one
Then When you want to call that Event just do this when ever you want to fire the event
ame.Workspace.MyServerEvent:FireServer() -- Or wherever that event is located in your game
