How do i fire a remoteevent each time the player spawns

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

how would i go about firing a remoteevent each time the player loads in, on join and when they die and respawn (remoteevent is adding trails into the bodyparts, and they need to be there at all times.)

#2

What do you want to achieve?
do you want to fire a remotevent when a player joins the game or something else?

#3

yes, each player that joins should have a remoteevent fired and each time they reset too because i think the trails get removed when they die

#4

Try this:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local remoteEvent = replicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(playerInstance)
	playerInstance.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(playerCharacter)
		-- Run any code whenever the player's character loads in or run the Remote Event
		-- remoteEvent:FireClient(playerInstance)
	end)
end)

-- Server Side Script --

-- When Player Joins, fire a event --
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Event -- Put Path to event here
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function())
    RemoteEvent:FireClient()
end)

-- When player dies, fire a event --
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
        RemoteEvent:FireClient()
    end)
end)

I am not that good at scripting but try the above code

if the “Player Die, fire a event” code dosen’t work, see the above website.

i tested it out and added a print to see if it launched, tho i checked the output and no print

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local remoteevent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(playerInstance)
	playerInstance.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(playerCharacter)
		print("event fired")
		remoteevent:FireServer()
	end)
end)
#7

Maybe this will work:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local remoteEvent = replicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(playerInstance)
	playerInstance.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(playerCharacter)
		print("Hello, World!")
	end)
end)

Also make sure the Script is in ServerScriptService and it’s NOT a LocalScript.

you can aswell make a script in StarterCharacterScripts

local char = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
--
RemoteEvent:FireServer()
--OR/--
RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)

Remove the “remoteEvent:FireServer()” line. Only fire it if you have a RemoteEvent by that name in ReplicatedStorage.

used this, no output

-- Server Side Script --

-- When Player Joins, fire a event --
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent -- Put Path to event here
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	print("event")
RemoteEvent:FireClient()
end)

-- When player dies, fire a event --
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		RemoteEvent:FireClient()
	end)
end)

Ohhh wait, your script says remoteEvent:FireServer() but you can’t call FireServer() from a Script.

#15

what do i do instead of that ?

#16

you have to fire the client instead RemoteEvent:FireClient() and make sure to define the player instance in it.

You can make some sort of Client/Server Communication Script to do that.
