What is the best way to store the variable of a player?

Asked 227 views1 answers

This script works, if I put the tool into workspace. But when I try to but it into Backpack, I think the problem is how the player is stored, can someone tell me a better solution.

local player = game.Players
Cash = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.RealMoney

function onClick()
	if Cash.Value >= 10 then
		Cash.Value = Cash.Value - 10
			local RockLaunch = game.Lighting.Spas12:clone()
			RockLaunch.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.StarterGear
			local RockLaunch = game.Lighting.Spas12:clone()
			RockLaunch.Parent = player.Backpack
			
			
			
			
 
 
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClick)

Use RemoteEvents, they will make this so much easier. Put a local script inside the button, put the script inside ServerScriptService, and put a RemoteEvent into ReplicatedStorage, then add the following code:

Local Script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()

end)

Server Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	
    local Cash = player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("RealMoney")
    local Backpack = player.Backpack
	
    if Cash.Value >= 10 then
        Cash.Value = Cash.Value - 10
        local RockLaunch = game.Lighting.Spas12:Clone()
        RockLaunch.Parent = player.StarterGear
        local RockLaunch = game.Lighting.Spas12:Clone()
        RockLaunch.Parent = Backpack

    end
end)

What should I name the remote event

It can be anything, I'd suggest naming it similar to what you're using it for, so if you have multiple RemoteEvents it won't get confusing.

It has half worked the money part works but the item isn't put into the players backpack

Also, if you're going to change the name of it, make sure to change the "RemoteEvent" inside the scripts to the name you're changing it to.
