Connecting Scoreboard to an IntValue in Workspace? [Filtering Enabled]

Asked by

I want to have it so that, if the score changes, the player's scoreboard's text will change. I'm getting the error "Unable to cast value to Object". Could it be because the parameter is a player? Still a newbie on FE.

Server Script:

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeScore = RepStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeScore")

local function onChange(player)
    ChangeScore:FireClient(player) --errors here
end

script.Parent.Changed:Connect(onChange) --whenever value changes, it'll connect to scoreboard's value

LocalScript:

wait(0.5)

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeScore = RepStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeScore")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local pgui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local board = pgui:WaitForChild("Scoreboard")
local court = player:FindFirstChild("Court")

local modelcourt = workspace:FindFirstChild("1v1Half") -- this is okay in a localscript right?
local home1 = modelcourt:WaitForChild("home")

local function onChange()
    if court.Value == 1 then -- i have more than one place where the scoreboard will change
        script.Parent.Text = home1.Value -- could be the error idk
    else
        board.Enabled = false
    end
end

ChangeScore.OnClientEvent:Connect(onChange)

Thanks,

LukeGabrieI

So it doesn't send it to the client? User#20388 0 — 6y

I think the problem is that you don't 'tell' what 'player' is, you can fix that by doing it like this script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function(player) end) User#20388 0 — 6y

Local Script

wait(0.5)

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeScore = RepStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeScore")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local pgui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local board = pgui:WaitForChild("Scoreboard")
local court = player:FindFirstChild("Court")

local modelcourt = workspace:FindFirstChild("1v1Half") -- this is okay in a localscript right?
local home = modelcourt:WaitForChild("home")

court.Changed:connect(function()
    print(court.Value) -- tell me what this prints
    local courtvalue = court.Value
    if courtvalue == 1 then 
        ChangeScore:FireServer(true) -- send data to server script that is connected to the 'ChangeScore' remote
    elseif not courtvalue == 1 then 
        board.Enabled = false 
    end
end)

ChangeScore.OnClientEvent:connect(function(canchange)
    if canchange == true then 
        script.Parent.Text = home.Value
    end
end)

Server Script

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeScore = RepStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeScore")

function ChangeValue(player, canchange) -- receive the data, remember the first parameter is always the player who :FireServer
    print("" .. player.Name .. " has fired ChangeScore remote!")
    if canchange then 
        ChangeScore:FireClient(true)
    end
end

ChangeScore.OnServerEvent:connect(ChangeValue)

Try to print court's value: print(court.Value) to see if it is a number or object in the server script hellmatic 1523 — 6y
