Bindable events

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Trying to make a flexible script, using bindable events. Whenever a player steps on a part it sends a model name that exists in rep storage, I want it to clone that model into workspace but i keep getting nil

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    Whenever i step on a part it sends a name to the main script in severscriptservice and it SHOULD clone that data. but instead I get an error
    “ServerScriptService.GameController:40: attempt to call a nil value - Server - GameController:40”
    but i know the data is sending because it prints it on the triggers side.
    “requested ghostspawn in LobbyPoints - Server - Script:9”

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I tried swapping the folder to a model in hopes of it working but it didnt work… i didnt see any other posts talking about the same situation

Main Script:

SummonGhost.Event:Connect(function(Zone)
	if GameEvents.GhostSpawned.Value == false then
		local area = Zone.Name
		GameEvents.GhostSpawned.Value = true
		local ClonedArea = game.ReplicatedStorage.Areas..area:Clone()
		ClonedArea.Parent = workspace
		task.wait(120)
		ClonedArea:Destroy()
		GameEvents.GhostSpawned.Value = false
	else
		warn("Ghost has already been spawned in")
	end
end)

SenderScript:

local SummonGhost = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.SpawnGhost

function onHit(hit)
	print(hit.Name.. " hit the lobby trigger!")
	local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (human ~= nil) and game.ReplicatedStorage.GameEvents.GhostSpawned.Value == false then
		local zone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Areas.LobbyPoints
		SummonGhost:Fire(zone)
		print("requested ghostspawn in ".. zone.Name)
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onHit)

You forgot to connct to the function that you created.

This should work:

local SummonGhost = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.SpawnGhost

function onHit(hit)
	print(hit.Name.. " hit the lobby trigger!")
	local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (human ~= nil) and game.ReplicatedStorage.GameEvents.GhostSpawned.Value == false then
		local zone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Areas.LobbyPoints
		SummonGhost:Fire(zone)
		print("requested ghostspawn in ".. zone.Name)
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  onHit(hit)
end)

My only assumption as to why it’s not working is this line, I don’t think you need to have to get item from replicatedStorage again since you pass it anyways, so for that line, can’t you do

local ClonedArea = Zone:Clone()

Because the way you have it wont work unless there’s something called Areas..area in ReplicatedStorage, if you do need to get the zone again with its name, I think you need to do this instead

local ClonedArea = game.ReplicatedStorage.Areas[area]:Clone()
