Help with local script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, there I’m working on a script in which when an event is fired it should trigger a function. I Don’t know if OnClientEvent works in local scripts but it didn’t work. It would be great if I could have some help!

local Jump = script.Parent.Remotes:WaitForChild("Jump")


local function Jump()
	if JumpEnabled --[[and math.abs(Board.Velocity.Y) < 5]] then
		JumpEnabled = false

		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("BoardKick")})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("LeftTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("RightTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Play", {Animation = GetAnimation("Ollie"), FadeTime = 0, Weight = 1, Speed = 4})
		Board.StickyWheels = false
		Board:ApplySpecificImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 45, 0))
		OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 45, 0)
		DidAction("Jump")
		delay(0.1, function()
			if OllieThrust then
				OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
			end
		end)
	else
		Board.StickyWheels = true
	end
end

Jump.OnClientEvent:Connect(Jump)

The OnClientEvent event is fired whenever a server script either calls FireClient() or FireAllClients() you can learn more here:

local Jump = script.Parent.Remotes:WaitForChild("Jump")

Jump.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	if JumpEnabled --[[and math.abs(Board.Velocity.Y) < 5]] then
		JumpEnabled = false

		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("BoardKick")})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("LeftTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("RightTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Play", {Animation = GetAnimation("Ollie"), FadeTime = 0, Weight = 1, Speed = 4})
		Board.StickyWheels = false
		Board:ApplySpecificImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 45, 0))
		OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 45, 0)
		DidAction("Jump")
		delay(0.1, function()
			if OllieThrust then
				OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
			end
		end)
	else
		Board.StickyWheels = true
	end
end)

You declared “Jump” twice so the 2nd declaration ended up overriding the 1st.

I think your problem here is that you have a function and a variable named the exact same thing. Rename your local Jump at the beginning. Here’s an example of the code you should use:

local JumpEvent = script.Parent.Remotes:WaitForChild("Jump")


local function Jump()
	if JumpEnabled --[[and math.abs(Board.Velocity.Y) < 5]] then
		JumpEnabled = false

		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("BoardKick")})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("LeftTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("RightTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Play", {Animation = GetAnimation("Ollie"), FadeTime = 0, Weight = 1, Speed = 4})
		Board.StickyWheels = false
		Board:ApplySpecificImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 45, 0))
		OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 45, 0)
		DidAction("Jump")
		delay(0.1, function()
			if OllieThrust then
				OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
			end
		end)
	else
		Board.StickyWheels = true
	end
end

JumpEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(Jump)

Also, make sure that you have a variable for JumpEnabled in the script. Is this the entire script?

Thanks for the help how ever the script didn’t work. Yes the jump enabled is a variable, I removed it but it still didn’t work. The script is located inside the player I don’t know if that has anything to go with it.

#5

Can you send a screenshot of the script and its contents?

sorry let me get back to you tomorrow!

Sorry for the late reply Here’s a screenshot of the script.

			EnterAirState(true)

	elseif NewState == Enum.MoveState.Pushing then
		EnterPushingState()
	elseif NewState == Enum.MoveState.Coasting then
		EnterCoastingState()
	elseif NewState == Enum.MoveState.Stopping then
		EnterStoppingState()
	end
end

function MakeOllieThrust()	
	OllieThrust = Instance.new("BodyThrust")
	OllieThrust.Name = "OllieThrust"
	OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	OllieThrust.location = Vector3.new(0, 0, -30)
	OllieThrust.Parent = Board
end

function MakeGyro()	
	Gyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
	Gyro.Name = "SkateboardGyro"
	Gyro.maxTorque = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	Gyro.P = 300--modified from 200 for stability
	Gyro.D = 300
	Gyro.Parent = Torso
end


local JumpEvent = script.Parent.Remotes:WaitForChild("Jump")


local function Jump()
	if JumpEnabled --[[and math.abs(Board.Velocity.Y) < 5]] then
		JumpEnabled = false

		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("BoardKick")})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("LeftTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})
		SetAnimation("Stop", {Animation = GetAnimation("RightTurn"), FadeTime = 0.5})

		Board.StickyWheels = false
		Board:ApplySpecificImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 45, 0))
		OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 45, 0)
		DidAction("Jump")
		delay(0.1, function()
			if OllieThrust then
				OllieThrust.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
			end
		end)
	else
		Board.StickyWheels = true
	end
end

JumpEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(Jump)

And, just to make sure, you are calling the RemoteEvent from the server, correct?

#9

The script where the event is fired is from a local script in screen UI and the receiving code is in the local script. I know it would be better in the script but I need it in the local script to work.

#10

If I’m understanding you correctly, are you saying that you use FireClient and receive OnClientEvent on two different local scripts? You can’t use FireClient on a local script, the client can not fire itself. If you want these two local scripts to interact with each other via an event, then you can use a BindableEvent: BindableEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation
