Remote Event not firing

[GameMaster4268 (Game)]

So I am trying to fire a remote event when the projectile hits the enemy but it doesn’t seem to fire.

Client:

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local part = script.Parent

local ZombiesFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("ZombiesFolder")

local isHit = false

local despawnTime = 4

local function Damage(hit)
	local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
	
	if character then
		script.DamageTarget:FireServer(hit) -- not firing
		part:Destroy()
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit:IsDescendantOf(ZombiesFolder) and not isHit then
		isHit = true
		Damage(hit)
	end
end)

Debris:AddItem(part, despawnTime)

Server:

local damage = 10

local function Damage(hit)
	local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")

	if character then
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

		if humanoid then
			humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.DamageTarget.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, hit)
	
	print(hit) -- nothing
	
	if hit then
		Damage(hit)
	end
end)

The client script enables when shot.

I think I know what the cause is.

Could you provide the whole hierarchical “system”?

RemoteEvents need to be in ReplicatedStorage for both the server and client to be able to use it.

The weapon handler: (client)

local function Shoot(target)
	local result = PlayShootAnimation()

	if result then
		local newProjectile = Projectile:Clone()
		newProjectile.CFrame = ShootPart.CFrame

		local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
		attachment.Parent = newProjectile

		local LinearVelocity = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
		LinearVelocity.Attachment0 = attachment
		LinearVelocity.MaxForce = math.huge
		LinearVelocity.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.World
		LinearVelocity.VectorVelocity = ShootPart.CFrame.LookVector * projectileSpeed
		LinearVelocity.Parent = newProjectile

		newProjectile.Parent = ProjectilesFolder
		newProjectile.Handler.Enabled = true -- enables the local script
	end
end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local nearestTarget, nearestDistance = GetNearestZombieInRow()

	if nearestTarget ~= nil and nearestDistance ~= nil then
		if tick() - shootCurrentTime >= shootCooldown then
			shootCurrentTime = tick()
			Shoot(nearestTarget)
		end
	end
end)

Projectile handler: (client)

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local part = script.Parent

local isHit = false

local despawnTime = 4

local function Damage(hit)
	local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
	
	if character then
		script.DamageTarget:FireServer(hit)
		part:Destroy()
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit:IsDescendantOf(ZombiesFolder) and not isHit then
		isHit = true
		Damage(hit)
	end
end)

Debris:AddItem(part, despawnTime)

Server Handler: (server)

local damage = 10

local function Damage(hit)
	local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")

	if character then
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

		if humanoid then
			humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.DamageTarget.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, hit)
	
	print(hit) -- nothing
	
	if hit then
		Damage(hit)
	end
end)

You need to put the remoteevent inside ReplicatedStorage

[GameMaster4268 (Game)]

I just tried that but it didn’t work.

[XXXTMS (tms)]

Did you get any errors? Did you change your variables to game.ReplicatedStorage.DamageTarget?

[Doomcolp (dxxmed)]

What I meant was this:

Could you show the whole thing instead of just these object (like the parents).

[GameMaster4268 (Game)]

I got no errors and I did try to use those variables.

There could be something wrong with your actual code. Add a print statement right after you fire the RemoteEvent and let me know if it prints.

[GameMaster4268 (Game)]

I just tried something and it was because I enabled the client script on the client.

[Doomcolp (dxxmed)]

Ah, since it’s a bullet I’d have to assume that it’s in the server’s control.

Try putting that LocalScript into a place the client can access (like StarterPlayerScripts).

But keep the Script in the bullet
