Why isn't my IntValue changing in this OnServerEvent?

Asked 276 views1 answers

I am trying to make a script that counts how long someone is holding a key but when i check the value in my tool the intValue isnt changing at all;meaning i can't check when the player stopped holding the button:

replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
ChargeAnim = replicatedstorage:FindFirstChild("RicoClass").Charging
tool = script.Parent.Parent
cooldown = false

ChargeAnim.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
local charge = script:FindFirstChild("Charging")
charge.Value = charge.Value + 1
print(charge.Value)
end)

the script is counting down but its not changing the int value

When using RemoteEvents, there should be a local script to fire it. Can you show us the script for it?

Instead of using the variable 'charge', try using the proper location: script:FindFirstChid("Charging")

Your script would look like this:

replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
ChargeAnim = replicatedstorage:FindFirstChild("RicoClass").Charging
tool = script.Parent.Parent
cooldown = false
ChargeAnim.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
	script:FindFirstChild("Charging") .Value = script:FindFirstChild("Charging") .Value + 1
	print(charge.Value)
	end)
