Why my script won't detect the change in the string value?
LocalScript
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local NPC = workspace:WaitForChild("NPC")
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Substract
local CurrentNPC = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentNPC
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local maxDistance = 10
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if UIS:GetFocusedTextBox() == nil then
for i, v in pairs(NPC:GetChildren()) do
local mag = (v.HumanoidRootPart.Position - char.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
if mag <= 10 then
CurrentNPC.Value = v.Name
event:FireServer()
end
end
end
end
end
end)
Server Script
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Substract
local NPC = workspace.NPC
local currentNPC = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentNPC
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local present = stats:WaitForChild("Presents")
if present ~= nil then
if present.Value >= 1 then
present.Value = present.Value - 1
print(currentNPC.Value)
end
end
end)
When I print(currentNPC.Value) which is in the ServerScript, it just prints blank. But when I checked the value for the CurrentNPC in the ReplicatedStorage it is the name of the NPC for example "Test". When I print the currentNPC in the LocalScript it does show the name of the NPC.

When a server Script modifies an object in ReplicatedStorage, that change replicates to all clients. But when a client LocalScript modifies an object in ReplicatedStorage, that change does not replicate anywhere outside that client (and the change will probably be discarded the next time the server sends an update for it).
So do any important changes in the server Script, by passing any needed data through your RemoteEvent:
LocalScript:
...
if mag <= 10 then
event:FireServer(v.Name)
end
...
Script:
...
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, npcName)
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local present = stats:WaitForChild("Presents")
if present ~= nil then
if present.Value >= 1 then
present.Value = present.Value - 1
currentNPC.Value = npcName
print(currentNPC.Value)
end
end
end)
