Error happens at line 33, don’t know what is causing it or what its doing, but the players hit by explosions wont take damage for some reason :frowning:

I think you ended the function connected to OnServerEvent prematurely. Explosion isn’t reachable to that line of code because you have end) before it.

It looks like Explosion is being declared inside the function which fires when the evnt event occurs. This means that, unless I’m incorrect, Explosion is nil at the time that line 33 is run. I think that you should solve this by connecting the function to the Explosion.Hit event after creating the Explosion variable inside of the evnt.OnServerEvent function.

I didn’t see their reply at the time that I posted this, but basically what nooneisback said.
