I'm having trouble replicating the flashlight to the server

local script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local viewmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.VmStorage:WaitForChild(“Flashlight”):Clone() or game.ReplicatedStorage.VmStorage.Flashlight:Clone() – just incase it’s already loaded
viewmodel.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.VmStorage[“ClonedVm’s”]
local run = game:GetService(“RunService”)
local CameraCF = CFrame.new()
local swayCF = CFrame.new()
local SwayX = 3
local SwayY = 5
local equip = game.ReplicatedStorage.BoolStorage.Flashlight
local uis = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)
task.wait()
local audio = script[“Flashlight Click”]
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp)
if inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
print(“alive”)
flashlight()

end

end)

function flashlight()
local val = game.ReplicatedStorage.BoolStorage.StartupGui.InGui
if val.Value == false then
if equip.Value == false then
changeIfSwitch()
viewmodel.Handle[“Right Arm”].Color = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Right Arm”).Color
viewmodel.Parent = cam
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Right Arm”).Transparency = 1
audio:Play()

local rotation = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:toObjectSpace(CameraCF)
local x,y,z = rotation:ToOrientation()
swayCF = swayCF:Lerp(CFrame.new(math.sin(-y)*SwayX,math.sin(x)*SwayY,0), .2)
CameraCF = cam.CFrame
local headCF = player.Character:WaitForChild(“Head”).CFrame
game.ReplicatedStorage.EventStorage.SecondaryFlashlightEvents.on:FireServer(swayCF,SwayX,SwayY,cam,CameraCF,headCF,viewmodel)

function hideFlashlightIfDead()

end
end

server script

game.ReplicatedStorage.EventStorage.SecondaryFlashlightEvents.on.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr:Player,NUL,swayCF,SwayX,SwayY,cam,CameraCF,headCF,viewmodel)

headCF = plr.Character:WaitForChild(“Head”).CFrame

–CameraCF = cam

viewmodel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(headCF * CFrame.new(CameraCF.Rotation.X,CameraCF.Rotation.Y,CameraCF.Rotation.Z) * CFrame.new(-0.6,-0.4,0.7)*swayCF)

end)

my problem is with the server script if you take the setprimarypartcframe code and put it in the local it works fine but in server it says invalid argument #2 (Vector3 expected, got number) am i doing something wrong

At what line does it give this error? It would make it easier for us to solve the problem without having to understand the entire script.

Sorry i posted this at 12am so i fell asleep it errors on the server

viewmodel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(headCF * CFrame.new(CameraCF.Rotation.X,CameraCF.Rotation.Y,CameraCF.Rotation.Z) * CFrame.new(-0.6,-0.4,0.7)*swayCF)

on the server it tells me that it expects a vector3 and not a number but if you put that exact same line of code and put it into the local script it works

4

I don’t know the problem with the code. Might be a bug?

5

im not sure because locally it works fine but server wise it breaks

6

Could be because of the fact that you’re using the Camera.Rotation x,y,z which from your code would be a rotation instead of a position. When you’re creating a CFrame using CFrame.new() it requires a position, to apply a rotation you would need to use something like :

CFrame.new(Vector3) * CFrame.Angles(R1,R2,R3)

Not sure though, try removing some of the CFrame.new() functions and see if any specific one is causing the issue.

didnt work still says the same thing

8

prob because you’re multiplying a cframe with a number which is swayCF

9

Then why does it work fine locally

10

I have a feeling that this is a DOORS script.

Also, it works fine locally because it has to do with the camera I am pretty sure.

11

it is not i made it from scratch but i did refrence it off an old flashlight script that i stole from the toolbox when i first started roblox studio

12

im kinda confused because im not getting an error anymore but it still doesnt work

headCF = plr.Character:WaitForChild(Head).CFrame
–CameraCF = cam
CamCFRot = CameraCF.Rotation
local SwayX = 3
local SwayY = 5
local swayCF = CFrame.new()
local v3 = Vector3.new(CameraCF.Rotation.XVector,CameraCF.Rotation.YVector,CameraCF.Rotation.ZVector)
local rotation = cam:toObjectSpace(CameraCF)
local x,y,z = rotation:ToOrientation()
local swayCF = swayCF:Lerp(CFrame.new(math.sin(-y)*SwayX,math.sin(x)*SwayY,0), .2)
viewmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.VmStorage.Flashlight or cam.Flashlight
viewmodel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(headCF * CFrame.new(v3) * CFrame.new(-0.6,-0.4,0.7) * swayCF)
