Hey, basically, I’m trying to make a Blocking Animation with a cooldown so people can’t just spam it. That was leading to Remote Fatigue. Everything seems to work fine, until suddenly the blocking animations remains glued to the character, as if it never stopped. Pressing F again will not fix the issue.
I’ve tried many things, such as changing the UserInputService input to a key press rather than checking to see if its held by :IsKeyDown() is true or false. I’ve looked on the Developer Hub, thinking that the problem might lie in something I’m doing wrong with InputEnded
LOCAL SCRIPT
-- Variables --
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.HpBlock
local Blocking = false
local OnCooldown = false
-- Animations --
local BlockingTrack = Instance.new("Animation")
BlockingTrack.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7368182945"
-- Script --
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameprocessed)
if gameprocessed == false then
-- Animation Creation --
local Char = Player.Character
BlockingAnimation = Char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(BlockingTrack)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and Blocking == false and OnCooldown ~= true then
print ("I'm Blocking, young blood!")
Remote:FireServer()
BlockingAnimation:Play()
print ("Fired to server!")
Blocking = true
end
else end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gameprocessed)
if gameprocessed == false then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and Blocking == true and OnCooldown ~= true then
OnCooldown = true
Blocking = false
print ("I'm done blocking!")
Remote:FireServer()
BlockingAnimation:Stop()
print ("I'VE PUT MY HANDS DOWN!")
OnCooldown = true
wait (0.5)
OnCooldown = false
end
else end
end)
SERVER SCRIPT (Don’t think it’s needed, but just in case)
-- Variables --
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.HpBlock
-- Settings --
local Blocking = false
local OnCooldown = false
-- Script --
Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
local Char = Player.Character
if Blocking == false and OnCooldown == false then
local BlockingStatus = Instance.new("BoolValue")
BlockingStatus.Name = "BlockingStatus"
BlockingStatus.Parent = Player.Character
BlockingStatus.Value = true
Blocking = true
elseif Blocking == true and OnCooldown == false then
OnCooldown = true
Blocking = false
Char.BlockingStatus:Destroy()
wait (0.5)
OnCooldown = false
end
end)
If anyone has a solution to this bug that I’m just not seeing, or can teach me a way to achieve my goal with a different system, could you please help? (Struggling rn)
If there’s any additional information that I can give, let me know and I will do so
Try doing everything on the server. Then have a “CombatState” value under the player or whatever that changes based on what the server does to your “Fighter”. That way the client can check to see what state they’re in currently to keep from firing the server if the current state can’t be overridden by the keycode. This is how I setup my combat system anyway.
Ex.
-- client
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local combatState = plr:WaitForChild("CombatState")
local combatStateChange = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChidl("CombatStateChange")
inputBegan:Connect(function(i, p)
if p then return end
if i.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
if combatState.Value ~= "Idle" then return end
combatStateChange:FireServer("StartBlock")
end
end
end)
-- server
local combatStateChange = game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatStateChange
combatStateChange.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, combatState)
if combatState == "StartBlock" then
if plr.CombatState.Value ~= "Idle" then return end
plr.CombatState.Value = "StartBlock"
blockAnimation:Play()
end
end)
So move all of the animations and stuff to the server? . . and check to see if the ‘Blocking’ variable is in the humanoid before firing the remote?
Would that fix the issue with the animations though? . . Isn’t it the way that I’m doing the animations? My problem is not really on the server, it’s local, is the animation bug happening due to remote fatigue and such?
I will try this, just have a few questions
Sorry, I don’t think I was being clear enough, the problem wasn’t Remote Fatigue, but something that occurred when I tried to correct it, a bug with my animations where it’d hold permanently
client check to see if they can change to that “keycode’s state” by looking at their current combat state value (or like you said, have a value inside their character) – this check is not necessary, but recommended
tell server we want to change to that combat state
server runs the same check that client did
server also runs cooldown checks / other checks to make sure they can / it’s a legit call (not exploiter)
server plays animation for that state or stops animation and sets their current state to that state
this system could also work with attacking etc.
I modified your script a bit, and this seems to be working fine.
-- Variables --
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Blocking = false
local OnCooldown = false
-- Animations --
local BlockingTrack = Instance.new("Animation")
BlockingTrack.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7368182945"
-- Script --
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameprocessed)
if gameprocessed == false then
-- Animation Creation --
local Char = Player.Character
BlockingAnimation = Char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(BlockingTrack)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and Blocking == false and OnCooldown ~= true then
Blocking = true
print ("I'm Blocking, young blood!")
BlockingAnimation:Play()
end
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gameprocessed)
if gameprocessed == false then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and Blocking == true and OnCooldown ~= true then
OnCooldown = true
task.delay(.5, function() -- this will not yield the script so blocking can stop instantly, but cooldown also starts instantly
OnCooldown = false
end)
Blocking = false
print ("I'm done blocking!")
BlockingAnimation:Stop()
print ("I'VE PUT MY HANDS DOWN!")
end
end
end)
Note: your remote wasn’t doing anything at the moment so I just took it out.
Edit: Woops, I didn’t realise you were using it to put in a “Blocking Value”, I just saw you creating a cooldown on the server which really wouldn’t do anything if you have one on the client.
I suggest instead of starting a cooldown on the server, have the client send a string called “StartBlock” or “StopBlock” with which the server can respond accordingly.
I tested the script you gave, and it still had the same error after I spammed it enough, I don’t know what it is, I’ll be using Task Delay, and confirming the humanoid’s ‘state’ from the client before firing the remote, but it still hasn’t seemed to fix the issue
I think it has something to do with InputBegan and InputEnded, but I’m not sure
Yes, it’s still printing it, it still fires to the server, prints that, and can even ‘continue’ to be used to block, but it’s as if the animation is suddenly permanently there after that. Like the Animation isn’t stopped. I’ve put printing before and after that to try and fix it or to find the error, but I don’t know why, the script runs but the animation doesn’t stop
With yours, it never fires to the server because there’s no remote but it prints
It works exactly the same, eventually getting the same permanent block hold. I just wish the output at least showed some sort of error, but it shows nothing
