Isn't Firing Remote event when there is no reason for a nil vlaue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So basically I was trying to fire code I wrote, I have my remote event where the path is and everything

Here is the client side:


local EF = RS:FindFirstChild('RE')
local BEY = EF:WaitForChild('Bey', 3)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp, gpe) 
if inp.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and not Busy and not gpe then
Busy = true
BEY:FireServer('Bey', 'Launch')
end
end)```

I'm not understanding whats going on at all

Hey, this could be the case, because you used ’ and not “”, try this script:

local EF = RS:FindFirstChild("RE")
local BEY = EF:WaitForChild("Bey", 3)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp, gpe) 
if inp.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and not Busy and not gpe then
Busy = true
BEY:FireServer("Bey", "Launch")
end
end)

Let me know if it worked!

#3

Where did you create the busy variable? If this is the whole script, the nil might be that the Busy does not exist.

#4

Using one apostrophe is the same as using two, there is no difference as they are both strings.

#5

I know, but there are some keyboards that does have a weird ’ that Roblox doesn’t detect.

#6

In that case the editor would have complained about unexpected characters, and the code block wouldn’t highlight it.

#7

What exactly is the problem? What does the server side code look like?

Note that the .OnServerEvent event passes in the player that fired the remoteevent as the first argument.

#8

(“”) and (‘’) doesn’t matter actually. Server sided code is done correctly as well. but I’ll show it.

#9 
local RS = game:GetService'ReplicatedStorage';
local SS = game:GetService'ServerStorage';


local EF = RS:FindFirstChild('RE')
local BEY = EF:FindFirstChild'Bey'

local BeySettings = require(script:FindFirstChild'BeySettings')


BEY.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Key, Arg)
	if Key == 'Bey' and Arg == 'Launch' then
		BeySettings('Pre-Launch')
	end
end)

shouldn’t be a problem with the code in here honestly.

#10

So this is the error, there shouldn’t be a nil value because the remote event is where it belongs.
[18:25:27.067 - ReplicatedFirst.LocalScript:6: attempt to index nil with ‘FindFirstChild’]

here is the client

local Player = game:GetService'Players'.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')

local EF = RS:FindFirstChild('RE')
local BEY = EF:FindFirstChild('Bey', 3)
local Busy = false

if Busy then return end
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp, gpe) 
if inp.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and not Busy and not gpe then
Busy = true
BEY:FireServer('Bey', 'Launch')
end
end)
#11

Ok so basically it wont let me index replicated storage at all. I just made a direct path to it and it’s saying nil when its obviously there
