How can I access the player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

What do you want to achieve? To access the player from the Server Script

What is the issue? I can’t access the player

I need to access the player for this but I don’t know how please help

Event:FireClient(PlayerHere, firstChosenPlatform, secondChosenPlatform)
2

What is your script supposed to do? When is the remote supposed to fire?

3

It supposed to choose two platforms out of three platforms and make them cancollide false

4

My question was maybe a bit wacky, let me rephrase.

What triggers the script? Does it just fire the remote upon the players joining or leaving, etc?

5

It fires the remote when a condition is true

6

Can you show me the script that triggers the remote please?

7

That’s not the full script

local firstChosenPlatform = GuessPlatforms:GetChildren()[RandomNumber1]
local secondChosenPlatform = GuessPlatforms:GetChildren()[RandomNumber2]

if firstChosenPlatform and secondChosenPlatform then
	firstChosenPlatform.CanCollide = false
	secondChosenPlatform.CanCollide = false
	
	Event:FireClient(firstChosenPlatform, secondChosenPlatform)
end
8

Do you need the full script? or just that?

9

The full script please, as it’s kind of complicated to see what you are trying to do with only this.

10 
local GuessPlatforms = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("GuessPlatforms")
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local randomPlatforms = {}

local function pickRandomPlatforms()
	local RandomNumber1 = math.random(1, #GuessPlatforms:GetChildren())
	local RandomNumber2 = math.random(1, #GuessPlatforms:GetChildren())
	
	while RandomNumber1 == RandomNumber2 do
		if RandomNumber1 ~= RandomNumber2 then
			print("Fixed")
		else
			RandomNumber1 = math.random(1, #GuessPlatforms:GetChildren())
		end
		wait()
	end
	
	return RandomNumber1, RandomNumber2
end

local RandomNumber1, RandomNumber2 = pickRandomPlatforms()

local firstChosenPlatform = GuessPlatforms:GetChildren()[RandomNumber1]
local secondChosenPlatform = GuessPlatforms:GetChildren()[RandomNumber2]

if firstChosenPlatform and secondChosenPlatform then
	firstChosenPlatform.CanCollide = false
	secondChosenPlatform.CanCollide = false
	
	Event:FireClient(firstChosenPlatform, secondChosenPlatform)
end

I just need to access the player for the :FireClient() because it requires the player object

If you paste this script and run a playtest, it’s gonna run the script as soon as you spawn in.

To get the players, you might want to use PlayerAdded.

local GuessPlatforms = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("GuessPlatforms")
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local randomPlatforms = {}

local function pickRandomPlatforms()
	local RandomNumber1 = math.random(1, #GuessPlatforms:GetChildren())
	local RandomNumber2 = math.random(1, #GuessPlatforms:GetChildren())
 	


 	while RandomNumber1 == RandomNumber2 do
 		if RandomNumber1 ~= RandomNumber2 then
 			print("Fixed")
 		else
 			RandomNumber1 = math.random(1, #GuessPlatforms:GetChildren())
 		end
 		wait()
 	end
 	
 	return RandomNumber1, RandomNumber2
 end
 
 local RandomNumber1, RandomNumber2 = pickRandomPlatforms()
 
 local firstChosenPlatform = GuessPlatforms:GetChildren()[RandomNumber1]
 local secondChosenPlatform = GuessPlatforms:GetChildren()[RandomNumber2]
 
 game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
     if firstChosenPlatform and secondChosenPlatform then
 	    firstChosenPlatform.CanCollide = false
 	    secondChosenPlatform.CanCollide = false
 	    
 	    Event:FireClient(player, firstChosenPlatform, secondChosenPlatform)
     end
 end)

Re-try again if it didn’t work, I forgot to add the player argument to the FireClient.

It worked thanks you some much.

No problem! It’s a pleasure to help.

Make sure to mark the script as the solution so it closes the topic.
