Button Click GUI Store. Visible tools for everyone and Remote Events?

Asked 227 views2 answers

Button click store. Store works in the original code but no1 sees the tool but the Original person who purchased the tool, the tool is invisible to everyone else. How do I get the code to work where a remote event is passed through? Thanks in advance. Orignial code:

local player=game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderboard=player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local button=script.Parent
local price=button:WaitForChild("Price")
local item=button:WaitForChild("ItemName")
local rs=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
 if leaderboard.Coins.Value>=price.Value then
  leaderboard.Coins.Value=leaderboard.Coins.Value-price.Value
  local item=rs:WaitForChild(item.Value)
  item:Clone().Parent=player.StarterGear
     item:Clone().Parent=player.Backpack

 end
end)

while wait()do
 button.Text=item.Value.."-"..price.Value
end

New code in local script for button with REMOTE Event. The RemoteEvent is named tool [inside the button]

local player=game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderboard=player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local button=script.Parent
local price=button:WaitForChild("Price")
local item=button:WaitForChild("ItemName")
local rs=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local tool = script.Parent -- the tool
local createPartEvent = rs:WaitForChild("tool")


button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
 if leaderboard.Coins.Value>=price.Value then
  leaderboard.Coins.Value=leaderboard.Coins.Value-price.Value
  local item=rs:WaitForChild(item.Value)
              createPartEvent:FireServer(tool)
       
        
        end
end)

ServerScript for passing RemoteEvents [In the ServerScriptService]


local button=script.Parent
local price=button:WaitForChild("Price")
local item=button:WaitForChild("ItemName")
local rs=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local tool = script.Parent -- the tool
local createPartEvent = rs:WaitForChild("tool")


       createPartEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,tool)
	
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild(item.Value)
        item.Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear -- poof!
        item:Clone().Parent=player.Backpack -- poof!
        wait(3) -- poof!
       

end)

The reason the tool is only showing up on one player (the client) is because of FilteringEnabled. The problem with the original script is that you're using a LocalScript to clone the tool and place it inside the client's inventory.

It's definitely not the only problem here. On your new script, you have the client handle the transaction and then fire the remote event to have the server clone the item. This is more of a security risk but isn't what you're asking.

Here's what you should do.

Have a LocalScript that listens for the Button to be clicked and then fire the RemoteEvent.

The server script should be in ServerScriptService if u want to be smart. u only put it in lighting if u want ur script to be lit af.

Have the script listen for the RemoteEvent being fired. Then, it should remove the money from the player's data and clone the item and parent it to the player's inventory.

Here's a example of how the server script should look

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Event")
local Cost = 1
local Tool = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Homosexuality")


Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local Data = FunctionThatGetsPlayerData(Player)
	if Data.Money >= Cost then
		Data.Money = Data.Money - Cost
		local PlayerTool = Tool:Clone()
		PlayerTool.Parent = Player.Backpack
		return true
	end

this isn't tested because i don't wanna open robloxstudio

Server Scripts shouldn't be in the PlayerGui.. Put the Server Script in ServerScriptService, and on line 3 you assigned "item" a value but changed it in line 11.

But why is the button variable "script.Parent"?
