Why is the TaxValue changing into 0?

Asked by

Script in ServerScriptService

game.ReplicatedStorage.Main.Events.TaxValueChange.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr)
    local amountB = plr.PlayerGui.HUD.TaxFrame.Frame.Amount

    wait(.5)
    plr:WaitForChild("Tax").Value = amountB.Text

end)

LocalScript in a button

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(n)
    local amount = script.Parent.Parent.Amount
    local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Main.Events.TaxValueChange
    event:FireServer("TaxThoseDuds",0)
end)

Im using a TextBox to change the value of how much taxing is

Scripts do not have access to objects in the PlayerGui. Instead of reading the value on the server, it should be passed as an argument by the LocalScript:

event:FireServer(tonumber(player.PlayerGui.HUD.TaxFrame.Frame.Amount))
0
Actually they do have access if they take in player as a parameter. TiredMelon 405 — 5y

Isn't changing the value at all just the same problem is occurring. SamthekidRSsl 58 — 5y
