Why don't I get anything when I click my GUI buy button?
I am trying to make an RPG. But I'm really confused as this script isn't working. I mean, it works in Studio, but not online. I have also tried converting this script to a local script .
This script is supposed to buy a weapon in my game.
Here is the script.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local item = RS:WaitForChild("Old Sword")
local price = 100
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
if stats.Gold.Value == price then
stats.Gold.Value = stats.Gold.Value - price
local cloned = item:Clone()
local cloned2 = item:Clone()
cloned2.Parent = player.Backpack
cloned.Parent = player.StarterGear
end
end)
(server script)
I'd really appreciate it if anyone teaches me what I did wrong with this script.

Assuming this is a TextButton, here is a fixed version of you script:
Make sure this is a LocalScript Inside the Button.
local Button= script.Parent
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local item = RS:WaitForChild("Old Sword")
local price = 100
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() -- avoid :connect because it's deprecated
if stats.Gold.Value >= price then -- you don't want it exactly equal to price so if equal or bigger
stats.Gold.Value = stats.Gold.Value - price
local cloned = item:Clone()
local cloned2 = item:Clone()
cloned2.Parent = player.Backpack
cloned.Parent = player.StarterGear
end
end)
And that should fix your script. In the game, you probably have a bit more money, you if statement states if you have EXACTLY the same amount which should be rare.
Hopefully this helped, remember LocalScript inside the button
Best of luck developer!

Since LocalPlayer is nil on the server, and you’re using a MouseButton1Click event, both are client side only. Convert it to a LocalScript.
