Local and Server Modules not connecting by RemoteEvent

Local Module

local sendRange = script.Parent:WaitForChild('SendRange')

sendRange:FireServer(id , character, character.Humanoid, touch)
print(1)
arrow:Destroy()
print('Destroy')

Server Module

local sendRange = script.Parent:WaitForChild('SendRange')

    sendRange.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, id , character, humanoid, hit)
    	print(2)
    	main:CheckPlayer(player, id , character, humanoid, hit)
    end)

It prints 1 and Destroy, but never prints 2. The SendRange Remote is in the same place. Both the scripts and Event are inside a folder inside RepStorage. Both scripts are modules.

The ‘Local Modules’ function is fired by a LocalScript. Then the event is suppose to transfer that from local to server, as the other module is only ever run by the server.

EDIT I belive I found the problem. I was never requiring the other module, so it was never running. But if I require the server module, then it won’t work, as it references the ServerStorage and all that on it. How can I get a LocalModule to still require a Server Module?

Hmm… Sounding like the server module isn’t receiving anything… Are you requiring the server module?

Ye, just posted an edit

You can’t require the server module locally because it uses a server-only function (the OnServerEvent), but, you can require it in a script in ServerScriptService.

#5

So if I just required it from there, the Local module will still be able to fire the event and it’d be picked up??

#6

Yes.

A module running in a client environment cannot require a module with the expectation that it will fulfil its server-side duties. A module’s environment is dependent on what conditions were present upon requiring (e.g. type of script, or location, or environment of a ModuleScript that requires another ModuleScript).
