Click detector not firing click event

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ll get right into the problem; the click event just doesn’t fire. I only have this in the entire script:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	print('clicked')
	if #workspace.AI:GetChildren() >= 5 then return end
	
	local AI = game.ReplicatedStorage.AI:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name):Clone()
	AI.Parent = workspace.AI
	AI:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(workspace["Practice Gym"].Court.GameObjects.AISpawn.CFrame)
end)

The clicked print won’t even work and I don’t think the event is even firing.

The only thing I can think of that is interfering is that the surface gui is somehow blocking the clicks.

Before anyone asks:
MaxActivationDistance is set to 32.
The properties are the default ones.
The cursor appears like I can click it but the event never fires.

  1. Are there any errors?
  2. Does the AI model have a PrimaryPart?
#3

No errors, and yes, the AI Model is a normal rig with a primary part.

#4

Does it print at all? If not, perhaps you’ve set it up wrong.

#5

Its not printing at all, I don’t exactly understand how its set up wrong though. I tried using wait for child and variables but that didn’t give any different results…

#6

Seems to be working fine for me when I copied your setup.
Is that the full code? (seems unlikely).

#7

Yes thats the entire code. I honestly don’t know why the event won’t fire. The script is exactly 9 lines long

#8

Where’s the part located, and do you get the clickable mouse icon when hovering over it?

#9

The part is located within a model rooted inside 3 folders. The mouse does show that I can click it.

#10

Since I can’t replicate your issue, I’m assuming it’s something else you’ve done wrong.
I can’t tell you what, though.

Is the script enabled, does the script run at all? Try adding a print(‘hello’) at the top of your script.

#11

The script is running. Could it be that my camera is locked in the game? The player can’t zoom out more than 15 studs so maybe thats the issue

#12

That is not the issue.
Make a free-model of your model, and I’ll investigate further if you’d like.

#13

I assume scripts cannot work in ReplicatedStorage, try putting it somewhere else.

#14

The scripts are a descendant of workspace.

#15

I’ve uploaded it.

#16

It runs fine for me? I don’t see the problem.
Perhaps you have a virus in your game, or something that prevents it from running.

#17

I haven’t used any freemodels so I doubt its a virus. All of my plugins are legit.

What could keep a click detector event from running?

#18

Perhaps another script is disabling it.
I can’t really help you as I don’t understand what causes this in the first place, as it works fine for me.

#19

I think I might have figured it out. My game uses context action service to bind something to the MouseButton1, I think the click detector won’t work due to that. Guess I’ll have to figure out a method to bind and unbind it throughout gameplay.
