Script save problem when a player joins a game?

Asked by

So I was testing out my script and there was some type of a problem joining in the game where the script doesn't load up whenever a player joins a server until they reset for it to work. Although it works sometimes, it doesn't do it always.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local currentlevel = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level")
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
        if currentlevel.Value >= 2 then
            script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.Stamina.Handler.Disabled = false
        end
        if currentlevel.Value >= 3 then
            script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.DoubleJump.Disabled = false
        end
        if currentlevel.Value >= 4 then
            player.Backpack.ScriptStorage.PlayerMovement.ForwardDash.Disabled = false
        end
    char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
        if currentlevel.Value >= 2 then
            script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.Stamina.Handler.Disabled = false
        end
        if currentlevel.Value >= 3 then
            script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.DoubleJump.Disabled = false
        end
        if currentlevel.Value >= 4 then
            player.Backpack.ScriptStorage.PlayerMovement.ForwardDash.Disabled = false
        end
    end)
    end)
end)

You are using local script? yHasteeD 1819 — 5y

No it's in the ServerScriptService as a normal Script fr2013 88 — 5y

You cannot access playergui with server script. yHasteeD 1819 — 5y

You need to use Local Script to access Player Gui's You cannot edit PlayerGui's with StarterGui

You can see PlayerGui in Roblox Wiki > Roblox Wiki Page - PlayerGui

And you can see PlayerGui vs StarterGui in Roblox Wiki > Roblox Wiki Page - Player vs. Starter GUIs

Also you can see StarterGui in Roblox Wiki > Roblox Wiki Page - StarterGui

You can use this:


-- Local Script > put this on GUI --

repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character

local currentlevel = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level")

function update()
    if currentlevel.Value >= 2 then
        script.Parent.Stamina.Handler.Disabled = false
    end
    if currentlevel.Value >= 3 then
        script.Parent.DoubleJump.Disabled = false
    end
    if currentlevel.Value >= 4 then
        player.Backpack.ScriptStorage.PlayerMovement.ForwardDash.Disabled = false
    end
end

while true do
    update()
    wait(0.5)
end

Hope it helped! Good luck into your game!
