FireClient() Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Tried to send a value from the server to the client, and I passed the Player object but nothing happened… The local script (script on the receiving end of the remote) was supposed to tween a part, but it didn’t, here is both the server and client script.

Server:

local Shield = game.ReplicatedStorage.Meshes.Shield:Clone()
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatEvents.Shield
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, BlockingStatus)
	local Plr = Player
	local c = Player.Character
	if BlockingStatus == "IsBlocking" then
		local Shield = game.ReplicatedStorage.Meshes.Shield:Clone()
		Event:FireClient(Plr, "IsBlocking")
		Shield.Parent = c.HumanoidRootPart
		Shield.Position = c.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		Shield.Anchored = false
		local Weld = Instance.new("Weld", Shield)
		Weld.Part0 = c.HumanoidRootPart
		Weld.Part1 = Shield
	elseif BlockingStatus == "StoppedBlocking" then 
		Event:FireClient(Plr, "StoppedBlocking")
	else
		return
	end
end)

Local Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatEvents.Shield.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player, Action)
	if Action == "IsBlocking" then
		print("player blocking")
		if Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield") then
			print("player has shield")
			local Shield = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield")
			local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
			local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
			local Goals = {}
			Goals.Size = Vector3.new(7,7,7)
			local Tween = TweenService:Create(Shield, Info, Goals)
			Tween:Play()
		end
	elseif Action == "StoppedBlocking" then
		if Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield") then
			local Shield = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield")
			local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
			local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
			local Goals = {}
			Goals.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
			local Tween = TweenService:Create(Shield, Info, Goals)
			Tween:Play()
		end
	end
end)

Please help!

Only briefly looked at this for 10 seconds, OnClientEvent only has tuple arguments to pass through

Even if you reference it as a parameter, you can instead easily get the Player by just using game.Players.LocalPlayer, the only other time when you’d need to reference the player inside the parameter is if you call OnServerEvent

game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatEvents.Shield.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Action)

Well I need to get the player from the server and send it to the client, I believe…

I tried to omit the Player argument when I sent a message to the Client, and that just raised an error: “Unable to cast value to object”

Are you sure you’re referencing a valid Player object? Also I’m unsure as to why you referenced a Plr variable inside your OnServerEvent, when you could just simply get the Player argument instead to fire the client on

It should look something like this:

--Server
local Shield = game.ReplicatedStorage.Meshes.Shield:Clone()
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatEvents.Shield

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, BlockingStatus)
	local c = Player.Character
	if BlockingStatus == "IsBlocking" then
		local Shield = game.ReplicatedStorage.Meshes.Shield:Clone()
		Event:FireClient(Player, "IsBlocking")
		Shield.Parent = c.HumanoidRootPart
		Shield.Position = c.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		Shield.Anchored = false
		local Weld = Instance.new("Weld", Shield)
		Weld.Part0 = c.HumanoidRootPart
		Weld.Part1 = Shield
	elseif BlockingStatus == "StoppedBlocking" then 
		Event:FireClient(Player, "StoppedBlocking")
	else
		return
	end
end)

--Client
game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatEvents.Shield.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Action)
	if Action == "IsBlocking" then
		print("player blocking")
		if Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield") then
			print("player has shield")
			local Shield = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield")
			local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
			local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
			local Goals = {}
			Goals.Size = Vector3.new(7,7,7)
			local Tween = TweenService:Create(Shield, Info, Goals)
			Tween:Play()
		end
	elseif Action == "StoppedBlocking" then
		if Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield") then
			local Shield = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Shield")
			local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
			local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
			local Goals = {}
			Goals.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
			local Tween = TweenService:Create(Shield, Info, Goals)
			Tween:Play()
		end
	end
end)

Yeah, it worked thanks! (Sorry for late reply, had to do something)
