Getting player through button script? (FILTERING ENABLED)

Asked Feb 8, 2018572 views2 answers

So... In filtering enabled when you spawn a car (Localscript) no one else will see your car. I want to make it where players can see your car. I wanted to use a code to get the player through a button.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(plr)
	print(plr)
end)

Now the problem happens when you press the button. When you press the button I suspected the player name RjsMc in output, but instead it says nil. So how would I get the player through a script like this? If there is another method please tell me. (FILTERING ENABLED)

If you want to spawn a car where other players will see it, you need to use Remote Event.

Sample:

Local Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CarSpawnEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CarEvent")
local GuiButton = script.Parent

GuiButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
CarSpawnEvent:FireServer()
end)

Server Side:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CarSpawnEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CarEvent")

local GetCar = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("Truck")
local cloneCar = GetCar:Clone()

CarSpawnEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
cloneCar.Parent = game.Workspace.SpawnLocation

-- Add more to this, like being specific where the car actually spawns.
end)

I didn't test this on studio, but you'll have to edit this because the variables aren't real. Just showing a real example of how it firing the Remote Events work, but if you don't know just make sure you study Remote Events then.

Actually, I'd suggest study and practice on Remote Events. Remote Event and Remote Function are the uses for client to server communication, but I'm no master at explaining both well especially since I struggle with Remote Function. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Remote_Events_and_Functions , also refer to youtube videos.

I know how to use remove events, however not during when filtering enabled is on.

Also... Where would I put the server side script? Workspace or ServerScriptStorage?

AnonymousFeb 9, 2018#

ServerScriptService. For organizational purposes, you may want to put them in a folder, inside server script service.

Looks like it works! Thanks!

If it's a local script, just use LocalPlayer

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()--plr is not a parameter of MouseButton1Click
	print(plr.Name)
end)

Due to Filtering Enabled, its hard to make it where by spawning a car, others can see it.
