Server not receiving FireServer

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When client sends a FireServer, the server just doesn’t recieve it.

LocalScript:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.PlayerInteraction:FireServer(interactPart, pressedKeyCode, operation)
	print("fired")
end)

ServerScript:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.PlayerInteraction.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, interactPart, pressedKeyCode, operation)
	print("received")
end)

The output tab shows that it printed “fired” every time its ran, but it never prints “received”

Also no errors are showing.

The issue might be the client fired earlier than the server listening to the event.

Is the server script parented to ServerScriptService or any other service that can run scripts?

Based on my knowledge, FireServer isn’t a connection, you can’t just do print() inside of it.
try removing print(“fired”) and the end)
(Unless that’s from another part of the script that isn’t shown of course)

The reason its not working correctly is because you’re not meant to use FireServer that way.
Mentioned above me, FireServer is not a connection.
Its meant for “Firing” from the client to the server.
More information is stated in the Remote Event FireServer documentation.

I wrote you an example script which shows the correct way to fire a remote event.
I don’t know what your arguments are so i made some up:

local interactPart = "ExamplePart"
local pressedKeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.E
local operation = "ExampleOperation"

PlayerInteraction:FireServer(interactPart, pressedKeyCode, operation)
print("fired")

The Server should receive this correctly now.
