How do I get to the player from a click in FE?
I have a part in workspace that should get to a script in ServerScriptService. The part has a ClickDetector and a Script saying:
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(Player)
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BindableFunction"):InvokeServer(script.Parent) --Here
print('Click sent')
end)
The script in ServerScriptService says:
local Listener = game.ReplicatedStorage.BindableFunction
function Listener.OnInvoke(Player, Brick)
print('Click Received')
wait(0.3)
local t = Player.leaderstats.Tokens --Here
However, I get the output of 'leaderstats' is not a valid member of Part in the marked places. Both places have the same output.
How would I make the script get to the player instead of the part? And before I get any comments like 'just switch them around'. That doesn't work.

You do not need a BindableFunction for this, it just makes it more complicated.
The solution is just have a script in SSS(ServerScriptService) and have this in it:
local part = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("YOUR PART HERE")
local clickDetector = part:WaitForChild("ClickDetector")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
plr.leaderstats.Tokens --and do your stuff here. If it doesn't work, it probably returns the character model instead of the player object, so just do:
local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plr)
player.leaderstats.Tokens --code here
end)
You don't need a BindableFunction. It is unnecessary because you can do it without it with much better efficiency.
Wow, you over complicated this. To start, you don't need that bindable function, you just do this:
workspace.MyPart.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(PlayerThatClicked)
print(PlayerThatClicked.Name) -- SebbyTheGODKid
-- Code here
end)
Second thing, InvokeServer() only works on Remote Functions, and you used it on a bindable.
Bindable Function:
local MyBindable = Instance.new("BindableFunction")
MyBindable.OnInvoke = function(argument)
print(argument)
end)
MyBindable:Invoke("this will be printed") -- > "this will be printed"
vs. Remote Function:
local MyRemote = Instance.new("BindableFunction")
MyRemote.OnServerInvoke = function(argument)
print(argument)
end)
-- Called from the client:
MyRemote:InvokeServer("this will be printed") -- > "this will be printed"
I hope this clears it up.
Also, for the part about the tokens, if it's a value then you need to do workspace.MyValue.Value NOT workspace.MyValue because "MyValue" is not a valid member of workspace.
