Why is this string value not changing for every script?
Hello! I have a string value in Replicated Storage called 'Target' and it needs to be accessed by a server script. I use;
local Target = game.ReplicatedStorage.Target
In both scripts. It's changed in a script after a button is clicked and I used print to see if it really had changed, sure enough it returned the correct value after clicking the button. I then used the same print test in the server script and it could not find a value in Target at all. Are string Value's accessible? Have I set it up wrong? Should I use a WaitForChild()?

I would recommend putting the value in workspace. Preferably in a folder in workspace. FiredDusk 1466 — 7y

Well, when finding StringValues I usually use WaitForChild()
so try this;
If the script is in WorkSpace or ServerScriptService
local Target = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Target")
print(Target.Value)
This will print the Target's value and you would know if it actually changed or not,

Thanks, but do you know why it isn't fetching the Target value in any script other than the one I set it in Samstergizmo 28 — 7y

What other script are you trying BlackOrange3343 2676 — 7y

The only one that somehow can access it is a localscript that can change the value. Any other script returns that value as nil Samstergizmo 28 — 7y
