In my game the player can buy a skin and in studio solo they can equip the skin, but in the local server and real server it does not change the Collection Valuable for some reason, even though it takes away your money which it should only do when the transaction is complete.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderboard = player:WaitForChild("Money")
local button = script.Parent
local price = button:WaitForChild("Price")
local pack = player:WaitForChild("BrownRabbit")


button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if leaderboard.Bounz.Value >= price.Value then
if pack.Collection.Value == 0 then
pack.Collection.Value = 1
if pack.Collection.Value == 1 then -- This should mean that it only works when Collection is 1
leaderboard.Bounz.Value = leaderboard.Bounz.Value - price.Value
end
end
end
end)

Which should mean that if the Collection value is 1 then it charges, but when I do it in game and not in studio it charges but the value is 0? This is a local script in the Button GUI

If you know the solution please help, thanks

stop testing in studio, as it runs on the client instead of the server

I know that but does anyone know how to make it so the collection actually goes to 1. Thanks. It's a complicated thing and it takes the money of the player which should mean that it is 1 but it doesn't. Also it gives out no error.

Is the leaderboard an object in the server?
If so it is not directly accessible to a local script.
You need a remote event or a remote function for it.

Make sure the leaderstats in the player is named "leaderstats" and all of the stats go inside of that object like money, xp, etc.


local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Leaderboard = player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Money")
local Price = button:WaitForChild("Price")
local Pack = player:WaitForChild("BrownRabbit")


script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if Leaderboard.Bounz.Value >= price.Value then
if Pack.Collection.Value == 0 then
Pack.Collection.Value = 1
if Pack.Collection.Value == 1 then
Leaderboard.Bounz.Value = Leaderboard.Bounz.Value - price.Value
end
end
end
end)

I know that but I didn't set the money value to a leaderstat instead I set it as a GUI, will that interfere in any way? Also the money part works and it takes it away from the original amount but the pack.Collection part won't set to 1, it stays at 0.

It's all through Local scripts in GUI and values inside the player. I am so confused as why it will not change the pack. Collections value to 1.

You should not user local scripts for this.

Things like this have to be handled server sided.

LocalScripts are mostly for Animations and making GUI's interactive or getting input from a player.

Do not use LocalScripts to edit values or buy items.

The problem is the person buys the pack through a GUI. So I cant use normal scripts because I need to access the local player. The thing that has gone wrong is the pack.Collection not changing to 1. I am trying my best to make it right and I am testing my game through servers all the time trying to fix this.

No.

You can use server scripts.

Use a remote function.

Ok, I just discovered something which might help. When I try to buy the item twice it does not buy it, which means that the local script has detected that the value Is one, which means that on the Client Side it is one. But when I try to access the data through the server side it says it is zero. How do I get it so the server side can then detect the change of values!
