Hey guys, I’m creating a gun script and i have a question.

How do i send Mouse.Hit.P over to the server?

I don’t know how to make the server receive that information,. Ive used RemoteEvents and they fire and everything i just cant receive that information. Thanks :slight_smile:

I reckon that you can use a RemoteFunction to retrieve Mouse.Hit.P.

-- Client
RemoteFunction.OnClientInvoke = function()
    return Mouse.Hit.P
end

-- Server
local hitPosition = RemoteFunction:InvokeClient(player)

However, I’d suggest invoking from client and let the server do the handling with rays and stuff. This will avoid the painful server lag(laggy cannons).

Yeah but how do i access that Mouse.Hit.p from the server? i cant just type Mouse.Hit.P in the script, that doesn’t work for me.

As written in the example above. The position is passed in the invocation, hence hitPosition and InvokeClient.

No please. A client can overwrite OnClientInvoke and permanently hang the server. RemoteEvents or sandboxing OnClientInvoke calls in pseudothreads are the only appropriate method here.

I forgot the example for the latter, I’ll get back to you if I find it.
