I made a script, but it does not seem to work, can anyone help me check if there is anything wrong?

Asked 177 views2 answers

I made this script,

it is called a handler, a script and it is inside of ServerScriptService

local Events = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local function getStat(plr, nameValue)
	return ReplicatedStorage.Stats:FindFirstChild(plr):FindFirstChild(nameValue).Value
end

Events.GetStat.OnServerInvoke = getStat()

But when I test it, it gave me an error saying, " Argument 1 missing or nil"

Here are the script that is related to it this script is called a display, and it is a "local script" inside of a "frame"

local Events = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events

while wait(0.1) do
	local gvalue = Events.GetStat:InvokeServer("Grass")
	local limit = Events.GetStat:InvokeServer("Limit")
	
	script.Parent.LimitText.Text =  tostring(gvalue).."/".. tostring(limit) 
end

Can anyone help? Thanks!

What happens when you remove the parenthesis from the "getStat" assignement so that it becomes "Events.GetStat.OnServerInvoke = getStat"

Note: I think there is a limit to how often you can invoke the server. Or if there isn't it will cause a lot of lag.

You would have to do plr.Name for :FindFirstChld to work

plr is an object

Don't use wait(0.1) as a condition. It's a hack.

The issue is that you are calling the function on line 8. Instead you will want to just remove the parentheses and it should work. You are basically setting the Events.GetStat.OnServerInvoke equal to whatever the function returns when it runs. Instead just do:

Events.GetStat.OnServerInvoke = getStat

and you should be good to go. I hope this helps and have a great day scripting!

The problem is that you have tried to access an argument (nameValue) in your function getStat that doesn't exist.

You need to pass the value of nameValue when calling the function on line 8:

Events.GetStat.OnServerInvoke = getStat() -- pass the value of 'nameValue' in the parentheses.
