Knit not working with Collection Service?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I created a component for the player’s character and now, when I add a tag to the HumanoidRootPart of the character(using CollectionService), it does nothing. Should I rework the custom character? @sleitnick it would really help if you replied

You have to add the components after Knit is started with Component.Auto (see Component | RbxUtil). This is what I did in the following code (I used roblox-ts, which means that it is in TypeScript).

import { Component, KnitServer as Knit } from "@rbxts/knit";
import { ReplicatedStorage, ServerScriptService } from "@rbxts/services";

Knit.Start().await();

Component.Auto(script.Parent.WaitForChild("Components"));

You should do this on both the server and the client. Note that Knit:Start() returns a Promise.

I actually did that on the server-side, but I did not add any code on the client side just yet, what do you suggest me to add?

Edit: Also I think the problem is about using Collection Service, when I try to do it on Tag Editor, it works just fine

I believe that you need to start Knit on both the server and the client.

That is strange since the Tag Editor uses the CollectionService.

Yup. I happen to think that Knit uses the folders Tag Editor creates in ServerStorage.

Edit: Nope, doesn’t work

What does your code look like?

I’m assuming you mean the tagging script, so here it is:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local char = LocalPlayer.Character
local humanoidrootpart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

CollectionService:AddTag(humanoidrootpart, "Egg")

It’s a local script btw.

Edit: Also I printed out the tags the HumanoidRootPart has, and it shows that the HumanoidRootPart has an egg tag

Oh wait, you have to assign a tag from the server to load a server-side Knit component.
