Invoke Client while there is a ServerScript Manager?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a Unit Spawner but there is something wrong, When i click the spawn unit button it doesnt spawn his type in the team spawn.

Here it is the Script Parts that i have added.

Client (button)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit:Invoke("Blue","Rifler")
end)

Server (UnitSpawnManager)

function SpawnUnit(team,unittype)
	if team == "Blue" then
		local UnitChoosen = TeamUnits.BlueTeam.unittype:Clone()
		UnitChoosen.Parent = workspace
		UnitChoosen.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.World.TeamBases.blubase.spawnunit + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
end

ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit.OnInvoke = SpawnUnit

Reply to this post to see if you have any fixes.

I think you meant to use a RemoteFunction and call InvokeServer(). You are referencing a bindable function based on your syntax. Ensure the remote function is in fact, a remote function. Then, Use InvokeServer() and OnServerInvoke(). Client - Server communication requires remote functions, not a bindable function.

Changed Code

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit:InvokeServer("Blue","Rifler")
end)

function SpawnUnit(playerInvoked,team,unittype)
	if team == "Blue" then
		local UnitChoosen = TeamUnits.BlueTeam.unittype:Clone()
		UnitChoosen.Parent = workspace
		UnitChoosen.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.World.TeamBases.blubase.spawnunit + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
end

ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit.OnInvoke = SpawnUnit

I have tried this and my units aren’t still spawning.

I did read what you said but it didnt work.

#4

Send me the new code and a screenshot of where the Remote Function is in your explorer.

(Blue Team is a experimental, thats why there is only a blue team classes)

sorry for bad spelling

#6

Add a print to SpawnUnit() to make sure the connection is made. Can I also see the code?

#7

You mean the whole ReplicatedStorage and the basic gui?

#8

Okay here it is:

SpawningUnits.rbxl (32.6 KB)

OnServerInvoke contains a function, it is not connected. I would do this:

local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage

local RemoteEvents = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents
local SpawnUnit = RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit
local TeamUnits = ReplicatedStorage.TeamUnits

ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit.OnServerInvoke = function(playerInvoked,team,unittype)
	if team == "Blue" then
		local UnitChoosen = TeamUnits.BlueTeam.unittype:Clone()
		UnitChoosen.Parent = workspace
		UnitChoosen.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.World.TeamBases.blubase.spawnunit + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
end

The function will not be reusable, but it will establish that connection. OnServerInvoke has to be EQUAL to a function, it’s not a signal like .OnServerEvent.

Understandable, Maybe i did something wrong while writing the script.

#11

We all make mistakes! If you get it to work, make sure to mark the solution so readers know!

#12

You should use onServerInvoke and InvokeServer to Invoke the function.

#13

Seems like its still not working

#14

Send your updated code. Did you connect the ServerInvoke like I said to? Also, use prints to see where the error occurs.

#15

I have connected the client with ServerInvoke tho…

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit:InvokeServer("Blue","Rifler")
#16

Let me see how you’re receiving that server invocation. I want to make sure your syntax is right.

#17

I checked the output but no errors except for my plugin being script deprecated. But thats not the case.

Also its not printing it so it’s not executing the script.

#18

Understood, so can I see the code to help you identify the error?

#19 
local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage

local RemoteEvents = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents
local SpawnUnit = RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit
local TeamUnits = ReplicatedStorage.TeamUnits

ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SpawnUnit.OnServerInvoke = function(playerInvoked,team,unittype)
	if team == "Blue" then
		local UnitChoosen = TeamUnits.BlueTeam.unittype:Clone()
		UnitChoosen.Parent = workspace
		UnitChoosen.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.World.TeamBases.blubase.spawnunit + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
		warn("Successfully Added Unit")
	end
end

i added warn on the place of print tho. if you wanna change it, you can.

#20

First error. UnitChosen should be

TeamUnits.BlueTeam:FindFirstChild(unittype):Clone()

You are referencing the literal “unittype” not the value of the variable by using a period.
