How would I make this Client sided script into a Server sided script?

Asked Sep 17, 20183,909 views2 answers

I have a script here, it is quite short and self explanatory. It is currently a Client sided function under a LocalScript. However, the purpose I am using it for, requires it to be Server sided instead. How would I go about making this server sided?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

wait(1)

local Player = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name)
local P = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if not Player:FindFirstChild("Team") then
	local value = Instance.new("StringValue")
	value.Name = 'TEAM'
	value.Parent = Player
	value.Value = P.Team.Name
end

You can't make client-sided script a server-sided script. However, you can use Remote Event or Remote Function to let LocalScript and Script communicate with each other.

I'll show you how to use Remote Event. It sends a signal to another script.

LocalScript:

wait(1)

    local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local addValue = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(YOUR REMOTE EVENT'S NAME)

local Player = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name)
local P = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if not Player:FindFirstChild("Team") then
    addValue:FireServer(P)
end

Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local addValue = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(YOUR REMOTE EVENT'S NAME)

function addingValue(player)
    local value = Instance.new("StringValue")
    value.Name = 'TEAM'
    value.Parent = Player
    value.Value = P.Team.Name
end
 
addValue.OnServerEvent:connect(addingValue)

I hope I helped you :)

ServerScriptService.Script:8: attempt to index global 'P' (a nil value)

I changed the script, I forgot to add 'P' as an argument on FireServer() function. LocalScript, line 10 has been changed.

The Player isn't passed as an argument to FireServer. and connect is deprecated, you should be using Connect.

Hm, P is still nil

Actually, I fixed it.

This is the updated version, it's mostly @KrzysiekRoblox's code, but I did have to do some tweaking. I still gave him credit for basically giving me it. LocalScript:

wait(1)

    local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local addValue = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("UpdateTeam")

local Player = workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name)

if not Player:FindFirstChild("Team") then
    addValue:FireServer()
end

Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local addValue = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("UpdateTeam")

function addingValue(player)
    local value = Instance.new("StringValue")
    value.Name = 'TEAM'
    value.Parent = player.character
    value.Value = player.Team.Name
end

addValue.OnServerEvent:Connect(addingValue)

Thanks,
