I used a remote event to change the players values, but it only works in studio? [SOLVED]

Asked Aug 28, 2018307 views2 answers

this is a part of the local script:

local found = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
	if found then
		script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer()

this is the regular script:

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Values.Level.Value = 1
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Values.PlayedValue.Value = 1
	
end)

works perfect in studio but in the actual game it still acts like a local script or it doesnt work at all. no errors appear.

Your problem is that you cannot access LocalPlayer through a server side script.

However, when you use FireServer() the player is automatically sent to the server side script. So to fix this, just change your regular script to this.

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) 
   player.Backpack.Values.Level.Value = 1
   player.Backpack.Values.PlayedValue.Value = 1
end)

I believe they can(Not completely sure) but they do much better in ReplicatedStorage.
