Is there a way to make a touched event work in a local script?
So, I have a script that uses local player, and a touched function in it. It just flat out doesn't work. I know I can use remote events, but is there a different way to do it? Here's my code. Could there also be a way to access the player, from the character?
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part2)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part2.Parent) -- Checks and returns if the part associates to a player
if Player then
wait()
print ("Touched")
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data.PistolAmmo.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data.PistolAmmo.Value + 5
end
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part2)
-- if something touches script.Parent, the function runs
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part2.Parent) then
-- if a player touched the part, this runs
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part2.Parent)
-- takes player from character
wait() -- waits
print ("Touched") -- prints "Touched" into output
Player.Data.PistolAmmo.Value = Player.Data.PistolAmmo.Value + 5
-- takes the Player.Data.PistoAmmo.Value and adds 5 to it
end
end)

You didn't have to explain my code, lol. Maybe just explain the GetPlayerFromCharacter. zandefear4 90 — 4y
