Trying to make var for client and server to access

[GoldenLeopard]

I have been trying to fix this non stop for 2-3 days and I just cant seem to do it. I am trying to make a var where client and server can access and change.
HERE are the methods I tried:>>>>

SetGlobalInt('Money', money)
GetGlobalInt('Money', money)

: and when the server updates the client dosnt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

util.AddNetworkString('MoneyTransfer')

net.Start('MoneyTransfer')
net.WriteInt(money, 3) -- or just -- net.WriteInt(money)
net.Send(ply) -- and I tried sending to server like net.SendToServer()

net.Receive('Money', function()
money = net.ReadInt(money,3)  -- Or just -- net.ReadInt(money)
end) 

: This didnt work cause it didnt read it, I guess > returned nil

And yeah those are the ways and I still couldnt fix this. Please msg back soon if you can THX!

Well, if you read the wiki, you'd have noticed that SetGlobal___ just makes the value available to all clients, it doesn't grant them the ability to modify them. Any SetGlobal___ calls in client strictly modify the client's version of that value.

As for the second part, you're going to have to elaborate... Do you want a variable that is accessible to all clients, where all clients can modify it and everyone else will receive the new version? Or do you want a variable that is shared between the server and each client independently?

Shared between client and server where if server changes it then client gets that change + I dont want clients to be able to modify in game.

[CODE BLUE]

--Server
util.AddNetworkingString("example")
local your_global_var = 0

--Update the clients copy to the servers
function UpdateClients() --ply is the player to update
	net.Start("example")
		net.WriteInt(your_global_var , 8)
	net.Broadcast()
end

net.Receive("example",function(len , ply)
	your_global_var = net.ReadInt(8)
	UpdateClients() -- Update all clients after receiving the new value
end)

--Client

local your_global_var = 0

--Used to tell the server about the new value
function updateServer()
	net.Start("example")
		net.WriteInt(your_global_var , 8)
	net.SendToServer()
end

net.Receive("example" , function(len)
	your_global_var = net.ReadInt(8)
end)

--Usages

--When ever you change the value call UpdateServer or UpdateClient
your_global_var = 10
updateServer()

--and vise versa with client.

Give a look over what I did [url=https://github.com/AlexSwift/Ananke/blob/master/gamemode/core/shared/networking/protocols/nw_variables.lua]here[/url]. This way you can have as many variables as you want, set them as you would normally and then they automatically transmit to the client. I wouldn't advise trying to use that code, just showing you how you can make use of metatables to automate you're code quite efficiently.

I agree your code is better, Or better yet for the purpose he is doing it for clients should not be allowed to changed these values anyway. I did it that way as he is very new and im pretty sure your way would confuse the hell out of him.
