I’m trying to make a beam between a player and a part it doesn’t work even without the warn please help me here’s the code:

--[[local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
repstorage.CreateBeam.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, deliverypoint)
	local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment", char.HumanoidRootPart)
	local attachment2 = Instance.new("Attachment", workspace:FindFirstChild(deliverypoint.Name))
	local beam = Instance.new("Beam", char.HumanoidRootPart)
	beam.Attachment0 = attachment1
	beam.Attachment1 = attachment2
end)]]
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local function onBeamCreated(deliverypoint)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	local targetPart = workspace:FindFirstChild(deliverypoint)
	if targetPart == nil or not targetPart:IsA("BasePart") then
		warn("Invalid deliverypoint: ", deliverypoint)
		return
	end

	local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment", rootPart)
	local attachment2 = Instance.new("Attachment", targetPart)

	local beam = Instance.new("Beam", rootPart)
	beam.Attachment0 = attachment1
	beam.Attachment1 = attachment2
end

ReplicatedStorage.CreateBeam.OnClientEvent:Connect(onBeamCreated)

A proximity prompt fires the client and I know it is running. The commented out code is my past code I don’t wanna delete.

Is the deliverypoint a string? Because :FindFirstChild() doesn’t support instances.

3

deliverypoint was sent as DeliveryPoint.Name.

4

Is the beam appearing in the explorer?

5

nope its not appearing in the explorer

6

Put print after this line and check if it’s actually printing:

beam.Attachment1 = attachment2
7

alright i checked and it is printing

8

Try premaking the beam, and then just cloning it and setting all the properties you need.

9

that didnt work either i put it in repstorage and cloned it into workspace

10

And it doesn’t even appear in the explorer once again?

Write --!strict in the start of the script and see if it
gives any errors that might be the problem.

16

Tratium, yes, probacon; I tried that and got nothing. Is it just

--!strict

as a comment?

That’s really weird, I tried your script and it works perfectly fine:

Are you 100% sure that the script is running? Try printing out values between lines.

Maybe the parts in my game aren’t loading? Studio isn’t working currently but I’ll try that.
