I'm trying to make an award system but its not working with Player Points, Help?
-- Local script
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvent')
RemoteEvent:FireServer(Player.UserId)
-- Server Script
local PlayerPoints = game:GetService('PointsService')
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local Player = game.Players
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Plr)
PlayerPoints:AwardPoints(Plr, 5)
end)
You don't need to sent the players userid as the server has access to this information.
The first argument of remote events/functions will always be the player when fireing the server then any variant arguments are next.
The simplest solution local script
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvent')
RemoteEvent:FireServer() -- we don't need to sent any info so don't waste the net traffic
server script
local PlayerPoints = game:GetService('PointsService')
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local Player = game.Players
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Plr) -- the server will know who fired the event
PlayerPoints:AwardPoints(Plr.UserId, 5) -- all we need to do is get the players user id
end)
Hope this helps.
