How to have filtering enabled on and still have scripts work inside the client?

Asked 657 views1 answers

So there is a Local Script with a script inside of it. Then i want to clone the script inside the local script and put the clone inside the workspace, but when i do that, the clone script does not run. But it is in the workspace and is not disabled. I want filtering enabled on in case the game is hacked. so is there any way for me to keep it on and just change the way i am doing this. That is my situation but how do get filtering enabled on and still have scripts work inside the client?

LocalScript inside gui:

local s = script.Script:Clone()
	s.Parent = game.Workspace
	s.Disabled = false

Script:

print("Runs") -- this is to make sure it works but it doesn't work
local Player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Value.Value)
Player.PlayerGui.MurderScreen.Enabled = false

They still do. Client changes just does not get replicated to the server.

That Script you are using seems to do something that should only affect the client anyway - the server cannot see inside PlayerGui also. Just integrate that code into your LocalScript. Also hiim, you need to chill lol

The main script in the game stops until the MurderScreen's enabled is false and the main script only looks at the server cause it is a normal script so i need to get a script inside the server. When i was testing it i moved the script's parent to the server and it worked so i just need a way of doing that with scripts

Well the problem is the server can't actually look inside PlayerGui. I recommend you have an external value in the player or you use RemoteEvents to communicate with the server.

Here's an example of communicating with the server to start the game.

Server script:

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ReadyEvent") -->> RemoteEvent
local ReadyPlayers = {}

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) -->> Recieve affirmation
	local InTable = false
	for _,_Player in pairs (ReadyPlayers) do -->> Check if player is already ready
		if _Player == Player then
			InTable = true
			break
		end
	end
	if not InTable then
		table.insert(ReadyPlayers,Player)
	end
end)

while true do
	ReadyPlayers = {} -->> Reset ready players
	Event:FireAllClients() -->> Send request to "ready up"
	repeat wait() until #ReadyPlayers >= game.Players.NumPlayers -->> Check if the number of ready players is the same as the number of players in game
	-->> do the game
	wait()
end

Local script:

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ReadyEvent")

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -->> When a request to "ready up" is recieved
	Event:FireServer() -->> Send affirmation
end)

Hope I helped!

This won't work. The stuff ahead of the while loop will not run, since you never used break in your loop.

Also, read https://forum.scriptinghelpers.org/topic/112/how-to-use-remoteevents-properly . Clients are perfectly capable of showing a gui.

My bad, was writing fast. I said the server wasn't capable of showing a GUI. Read properly.
