Can't pass Mouse.Hit on server script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ll simplify my script to this :

local target = FindNearest(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
cf = mouse.Hit
WormholeEvent:FireServer(target, cf)

The matter here is that the server script will show an error saying that the cf value is nil, which is obviously not. This script part is in a local script in the player’s character, it works well there as I can print the mouse position, but it doesn’t pass to the server script for some reason.

You are not defining what “mouse” means. You need to define “mouse” so the script knows what you are talking about.

Sorry I did not show it, but the mouse is defined in the local script as

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

As I said, I can get the value just fine in the local script.

If the cf value is nil, it probably means mouse.Hit == nil.

mouse.Hit can never be nil. It will always point to a CFrame. It is likely something else that is wrong.

@ OP can you show a bit more code (like the server code, your OnServerEvent listener parameters are probably set up wrong)

Here’s a bit of the server script, it errors when setting wormhole2’s position
Also, whether it’s wormhole2.Position or wormhole2.CFrame, the result is the same, I print position before and the result is nil

function Wormhole(player, position)

local IdleTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Idle)
print(position)
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
IdleTrack:Play()
wormhole = ReplicatedStorage.Characters.Johnny.WormholeModel:Clone()
wormhole2 = ReplicatedStorage.Characters.Johnny.WormholeModel:Clone()

wormhole2.Position = position
wormhole.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,-4,-3)* CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)
wormhole.Parent = player.Character
wormhole2.Parent = player.Character

Mouse.Hit is a CFrame value, not a Vector3. So send over mouse.Hit.Position instead from the LocalScript.

Whether I send hit or hit.position I get this : image

WormholeEvent:FireServer(target, cf)

Then whatever target is, is nil. Remove it from your argument list and only send cf.Position over.

Alright I’m an idiot, I forgot I’m not using the target argument in the server script…
