FireClient() accepts one parameter minimum, and that is the player object you are trying to fire to.

Try changing your server script (I also helped to optimise it a bit):

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local event = rStorage.RemoteEvent
local detector = script.Parent
local db = false

local function processTouch(hit)
    if db then return nil end
    local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        db = true
        event:FireClient(player)
        task.wait(0.5)
        db = false
    end
end

detector.Touched:Connect(processTouch)

Also, please avoid sending code screenshots, just format like I did above - it makes it a lot easier and nicer to read. You can do this by pressing the ‘</>’ button on your post editor or by putting backticks (`) either side of it :slight_smile: .

Thank you for the help but I’d like to ask why you have included db could the script not just run fine without it?

I included db (short for debounce) because it acts as a cooldown. Basically, I put it in to stop the event firing every time you moved on the part (preventing rapid-fire of the event).

Well I used the code and the error is gone, but now It’s not working and I’m getting no error message.

#7

You created the variable TweenInfo, which overrides the variable to create a TweenInfo object. Change that variable name to something else, e.g. info.

#8

I’m getting no error message but it still wont work

Do {CFrame = targetCFrameHere} when making the tween.

#10

Wdym by "When making it a tween. Like make it a variable?

#11

When using TweenService:Create(), on the third parameter where you pass a table of properties to be tweened, you have just put CFrame.new() with no guidance on what property it should be applied to. You need to do {CFrame = CFrame.new()}.

Also, CFrame.new() accepts 3 Vector3 items, not three numbers.

#12

you never specified which client to fire
