Creating a cutscene using remote event

[xXChocoElementxX]

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

1. **What do you want to achieve?**Trying to fire an event to trigger a cutscene, but nothing seems to be happening. No errors output

2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
   

   
   
   

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I did, but I can’t seem to find the solution.

-- The server script server side (script)
local player = game:GetService("Players")
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene1
local order = 0

player.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	print(plr," joined!")
	
	local Textlabel = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui").Frame.TextLabel
	Textlabel.Text = "3"
	order = "1"
	event:FireClient(plr,order)
	print("fired")
	wait(3)
	Textlabel.Text = "2"
	wait(3)
	Textlabel.Text = "1"
	wait(3)
end)

-- The cutscene side (local script)
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene1
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local cams = workspace.cams

local function Cutscene(order)
	print(order)
	print("receive")
	workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.In)
	if order == 1 then
		print("1")
		local tween = tweenservice:Create(cams.c1,TweenInfo,cams.c2)
		tween:Play()
		workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	else
		print("error")
	end
end

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(Cutscene)

Your local script cannot run in the workspace. Try moving it to StarterPlayerScripts

It worked. but now it prints “1”, then “error”.

--changed script
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene1
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local cams = workspace.cams

local function cutscene(order)
	print(order)
	workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	TweenInfo.new(3,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.In)
	if order == 1 then
		print("order1")
		local tween = tweenservice:Create(cams.c1,TweenInfo,cams.c2)
		tween:Play()
		workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	else
		print("error")
	end
end

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(cutscene)

Try this script. I made the code wait a bit before trying to access anything.

--changed script
game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene1
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local cams = workspace.cams

local function cutscene(order)
	order = tonumber(order)
	workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	TweenInfo.new(3,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.In)
	if order == 1 then
		print("order1")
		local tween = tweenservice:Create(cams.c1,TweenInfo,cams.c2)
		tween:Play()
		workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	else
		print("error")
	end
end

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(cutscene)

try,

if tonumber(order) == 1 then

if that doesn’t work, I have no idea whats wrong.

1- Use workspace.CurrentCamera

2- After the camera line you only declared a TweenInfo, the code doesn’t know what to do with that info. I suggest looking at examples on tween service documentation to understand it better. You need to provide an object, target and an info, and you can play the tween after that

3- Use WaitForChild in the client
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild
workspace:WaitForChild

order = "1"

@xXChocoElementxX

if order == 1 then

“1” and 1 are different things as far as I am aware.

This is one of the ways to fix it.

try, if tonumber(order) == 1 then if that doesn’t work, I have no idea whats wrong.

Another is to change
order = "1"
to
order = 1

I changed the script a bit, it printed out “Unable to cast to Dictionary”

--changed script
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Cutscene1")
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local cams = workspace:WaitForChild("cams")
-- cams
local cam1 = cams:WaitForChild("c1")
local cam2 = cams:WaitForChild("c2")

local function cutscene(order)
	workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	TweenInfo.new(3,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.In)
	if order == 1 then
		print("order1")
		local tween = tweenservice:Create(cam1,TweenInfo,Vector3.new(-5.955, 5.15, 20.29)) --  Unable to cast to Dictionary
		tween:Play()
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	else
		print("error")
	end
end

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(cutscene)

in the print error where it says the dictionary error, on the right of the text, does it say which line the error is from

@xXChocoElementxX

Vector3.new(-5.955, 5.15, 20.29)

You can’t do that.
You must put properties in a table.

For example, if I wanted to tween the position of some stairs, I would do:

local tween = tweenservice:Create(stairs,TweenInfo,{Position = Vector3.new(whatever)})
tween:Play()
