I want to create a stagger system for my combat and I currently am using remove events to handle when it should stagger and who, only problem was I had to get the hit player as the first argument in the removeEvent:FireClient() and I used GetPlayerFromCharacter to get the player from the hithumanoid, but its returning nil and I do not know why.
I use a hitbox system called ClientCast for hit detection by the way, here is the code:
slashCaster.HumanoidCollided:Connect(function(result, hithumanoid)
if script.Parent.Equipped then
if Debounce[hithumanoid] then
return
end
Debounce[hithumanoid] = true
print("Hit:" .. result.Instance.name)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.GoreEvent:FireAllClients(math.random(config.MinBlood.Value, config.MaxBlood.Value), result.Instance.Position)
hithumanoid:TakeDamage(config.Damage.Value)
script.Parent.Handle.Hit:Play()
local hal = Instance.new("Animation")
hal.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7747707560"
local har = Instance.new("Animation")
har.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7747710892"
local hurtAnimLeft = hithumanoid:LoadAnimation(hal)
local hurtAnimRight = hithumanoid:LoadAnimation(har)
local ranMath = math.random(1, 2)
if ranMath == 1 then
hurtAnimLeft:Play()
elseif ranMath == 2 then
hurtAnimRight:Play()
end
local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hithumanoid.Parent)

Print the hithumanoid and the parent because it may not be a character model, if it is then their should be no problem.
It prints the name of the character, in this case dummy:
print(hithumanoid)
print(hithumanoid.Parent)
So it is working.
GetPlayerFromCharacter only returns a player if the charter it’s hitting is a actual players character. So it’s functioning properly
So what would I do if its not a player? Would I need an additional check before I fire the stagger event or something else? Because I have dummies that I would like to be staggered as well.

If getplayerfromcharacter then
treat it like player
else
do the same just using the hithumanoid.Parent
But I can’t, because the first arg has to be a player object in the remote event.
Well what does staggered mean? Like a client screen effect? If it’s a NPC than it wouldn’t have a client or screen to effect anyway so I am confused?

It slows the players walkspeed, then waits the staggertime then goes back to normal walkspeed. Here is the stagger code(its a localscript in startercharacterscripts, I know its not safe to handle this on the client but I’m not sure how else to handle something like this):
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
ReplicatedStorage.Events.Stagger.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(hum, staggertime, staggeramount)
local OldWalkSpeed = hum.WalkSpeed
hum.WalkSpeed = staggeramount
wait(staggertime)
hum.WalkSpeed = OldWalkSpeed
end)

Well just copy the code to server and put it in a corotine. I am also confused how a NPC would react to just getting the walk speed lowered?
I haven’t really thought this through honestly, I have no idea how coroutines work so I’ll look at the API and see if it works, thanks for the help.
But wait, you can’t use onclientevent in a server script right? So what do I do then?
Don’t use a remote lmao.
If it’s all on the server than no client communication.
Then what would I do? Should I handle the stagger in the hit function of the weapon?
slashCaster.HumanoidCollided:Connect(function(result, hithumanoid)
if script.Parent.Equipped then
if Debounce[hithumanoid] then
return
end
Debounce[hithumanoid] = true
print("Hit:" .. result.Instance.name)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.GoreEvent:FireAllClients(math.random(config.MinBlood.Value, config.MaxBlood.Value), result.Instance.Position)
hithumanoid:TakeDamage(config.Damage.Value)
script.Parent.Handle.Hit:Play()
local hal = Instance.new("Animation")
hal.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7747707560"
local har = Instance.new("Animation")
har.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7747710892"
local hurtAnimLeft = hithumanoid:LoadAnimation(hal)
local hurtAnimRight = hithumanoid:LoadAnimation(har)
local ranMath = math.random(1, 2)
if ranMath == 1 then
hurtAnimLeft:Play()
elseif ranMath == 2 then
hurtAnimRight:Play()
end
local OldWalkSpeed = hithumanoid.WalkSpeed
hithumanoid.WalkSpeed = staggeramount
wait(staggertime)
hithumanoid.WalkSpeed = OldWalkSpeed
This should work both on an NPC and a real Player. If it worked, it would be appreciated to be set as solution 
Still doesn’t seem to work, I’m not sure why. I had to put the walkspeed changes closer to the end of the function so it wouldn’t make the hit debounce longer, since it gets changed at the end of the function.
Can you give me the whole script? Because you shouldn’t use remote event for this kind of things (changing character’s walkspeed )
Here is the entire function that handles hit detection:
slashCaster.HumanoidCollided:Connect(function(result, hithumanoid)
if script.Parent.Equipped then
if Debounce[hithumanoid] then
return
end
Debounce[hithumanoid] = true
print("Hit:" .. result.Instance.name)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.GoreEvent:FireAllClients(math.random(config.MinBlood.Value, config.MaxBlood.Value), result.Instance.Position)
hithumanoid:TakeDamage(config.Damage.Value)
script.Parent.Handle.Hit:Play()
local hal = Instance.new("Animation")
hal.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7747707560"
local har = Instance.new("Animation")
har.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7747710892"
local hurtAnimLeft = hithumanoid:LoadAnimation(hal)
local hurtAnimRight = hithumanoid:LoadAnimation(har)
local ranMath = math.random(1, 2)
if ranMath == 1 then
hurtAnimLeft:Play()
elseif ranMath == 2 then
hurtAnimRight:Play()
end
if config.CanSeverLimbs.Value == true then
if result.Instance.name == "Left Arm" or result.Instance.name == "LArmGore" then
LimbHandler.DamageLimb(hithumanoid.Parent, "Left Arm", LimbDamage * config.LArmMulti.Value)
elseif result.Instance.name == "Right Arm" or result.Instance.name == "RArmGore" then
LimbHandler.DamageLimb(hithumanoid.Parent, "Right Arm", LimbDamage * config.RArmMulti.Value)
elseif result.Instance.name == "Left Leg" or result.Instance.name == "LLegGore" then
LimbHandler.DamageLimb(hithumanoid.Parent, "Left Leg", LimbDamage * config.LLegMulti.Value)
elseif result.Instance.name == "Right Leg" or result.Instance.name == "RLegGore" then
LimbHandler.DamageLimb(hithumanoid.Parent, "Right Leg", LimbDamage * config.RLegMulti.Value)
elseif result.Instance.name == "Head" or result.Instance.name == "HeadGore" then
LimbHandler.DamageLimb(hithumanoid.Parent, "Head", LimbDamage * config.HeadMulti.Value)
end
end
wait(.5)
Debounce[hithumanoid] = false
local OldWalkSpeed = hithumanoid.WalkSpeed
hithumanoid.WalkSpeed = config.StaggerAmount
wait(config.StaggerTime)
hithumanoid.WalkSpeed = OldWalkSpeed
end
end)
What exactly doesn’t work? walkspeed not changed?
Yes, the walkspeed doesn’t seem to change at all.
