Function connected to an event not running in a local script. RemoteEvents not working in a local script too

  1. I want some code to run when the value of a “BoolValue” is changed in a local script.

  2. The function is not running.

  3. I tried:

  • Event .Changed. It didn’t work.
  • Firing a client with a RemoteEvent
  • Asking other devs - they had no idea on how to fix it
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").GameIsON.Changed:Connect(function()
	print("CHANGED!") -- Didn't work
end)

and

--SERVER
local remotes = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	remotes.ChangeIt:FireClient(v)
end

--CLIENT

local remotes = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes

remotes.ChangeIt.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	print("CHANGED!")
end)

I have no idea how to fix this and why is this even a thing. Maybe I am forgetting something?

#2

Why do you have to do, for i, v in pairs. Can’t you just fire all the clients?

Ohh, I can… Thanks.
That didn’t solve my problem tho.

Why isn’t working? (It (Value) DEFINITELY changes from the server, I did it manually, just to be sure.)

#4

Is there any output, and did you check while play testing in the explorer if it changed, on both the client and the server.

#5

I think they did change. One sec, let me try it out one more time.

#6

The only reason I can think of on the top of my head that may be why this isn’t running is that the scripts are somewhere in a place where they won’t run. Where is your script parented to?

#7

Ok, I am VERY confused now. In this black, new place - it works, but in my game - it doesn’t. In my game the event is the first thing in the script, so there is no way that is getting blocked by a loop or something.

#8

StarterGui. (Then, obviously - PlayerGui)

#9

I think you should put the script in replicated storage.

#10

No types of scripts will run there. Server scripts run in Workspace and ServerScriptService, and LocalScripts will run in ReplicatedFirst, a player’s PlayerGui, a player’s Backpack, a player’s PlayerScripts, and the player’s character.

#11

I think you should put it in replicated first, make sure to check the value has changed on both the client and the server.

#13

I am a bit unlucky. I think RBX is having some problems rn - I got logged out. But I think if it ran on a blank place, it will run in my game too. I am sure I messed something up. Thanks a lot for your time guys.

#14

I tested your code, and it works for me. I put the LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts and I put the server Script in ServerScriptService.
