Event wont fire to server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

im making a combat script, and im trying to script the damage part in a server script (so the target just doesnt die on the client) and for some reason it doesnt work. There are no errors in the output

Heres the code

Code (Client) 
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not DBounce then --Another way of saying "mouse.Button1Down"
		DBounce = true
		if random:NextInteger(1,2) == 1 then
			punch1Track:Play()
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
			LArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
				if not DBounce2 then
					DBounce2 = true
					REvent:FireServer()--Event that fires to the damage script in Server
					wait(waitTime)
					print("e")
					DBounce2 = false
				end
				
			end)
			
		```
Code (Server) 
local REvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CombatEvent")

REvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	print(player.Name)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local LArm = character:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
	print("event reached server")
	LArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		print(hit)
	end)
end)

The output isn’t printing what i’d like it to print. Help would be appreciated, thank you for your time :smiley:

Can you show the console for the prints?

Full code of the local script would be helpful.

#4 
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local REvent = RS:WaitForChild("CombatEvent")

REvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	local LArm = character:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
	LArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		print(hit.Name)
	end)
end)

There’s the server script. Remember that only R6 avatars have “Left Arm” as a valid member of their character model.

Any output errors?

nope, no output errors (ggrgrgrgrgrggr)

#10

“e” is printed, but not player.Name? Where is the serverscript located? make sure you can print something outside of the event.

#11 
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local LeftArm = Character:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
local PunchAnim = script:WaitForChild("Animation") --change this to name of animation inside script (change the reference if animation isnt in script)
local PunchTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(PunchAnim)
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local REvent = RS:WaitForChild("CombatEvent")
local DBounce = false
local DBounce2 = false
local random = Random.new()

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
	if processed then
		return
	end
	if DBounce then
		return
	end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		DBounce = true
		if random:NextInteger(1, 2) == 1 then
			PunchTrack:Play()
			Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
			LeftArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
				if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
					local Char = hit.Parent
					if Char ~= Character then
						REvent:FireServer()
					end
				end
			end)
		end
		task.wait(3) --cooldown length
		DBounce = false
	end
end)

That isn’t the full script but I tried to fill in the blanks.
