Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a mechanic that if a player falls on a platform, they will teleport back to spawn. But the problem is when a player falls, every player teleports back to spawn. So what I tried to do was code it so that when a player falls, it will create a RemoteEvent named their name. The script works just fine but the local script doesn’t work.
Below is the script: (It’s inside the platform)
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.FallDownEvent
local destination = workspace["the straight line"].SpawnLocation
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if debounce then
return
end
if part == game.Workspace.Bob.Hitbox then
game.ReplicatedStorage.SecretEndingEvent:FireAllClients()
debounce = true
elseif part.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
if game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(part.Parent.Name) then
debounce = true
print(part.Parent.Name.."'s RemoteEvent was already created.")
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(part.Parent.Name):FireAllClients()
part.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(destination.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
wait(1)
debounce = false
else
local PlayerEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
PlayerEvent.Name = part.Parent.Name
PlayerEvent.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
print(PlayerEvent.Name.." has fallen..")
PlayerEvent:FireAllClients()
part.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(destination.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
debounce = true
task.wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
Below is the local script: (It’s in a gui)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local textLabel = plr.PlayerGui.TextGui.Dialogue
wait(1)
local function typewrite(object,text)
for i = 1, #text,1 do
object.Text = string.sub(text,1,i)
wait(0.05)
end
end
local function Fell()
local number = math.random(1,6)
print("Fell Down")
script.Parent.DialogueScript.Enabled = false
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
textLabel.TextTransparency = 0
if number == 1 then
typewrite(textLabel, "Welp, guess you have to restart..",0.05)
elseif number == 2 then
typewrite(textLabel, "Falling down is actually unhealthy..",0.05)
elseif number == 3 then
typewrite(textLabel, "That was unfortunate.",0.05)
elseif number == 4 then
typewrite(textLabel, "That hurt..",0.05)
elseif number == 5 then
typewrite(textLabel, "How do you fall from such a big platform..?",0.05)
elseif number == 6 then
typewrite(textLabel, "I think that's a skill issue on your part..",0.05)
end
wait(1)
script.Parent.DialogueScript.Enabled = true
textLabel.TextTransparency = 1
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChildAdded:Connect(function(part)
if part == plr.Name then
local BigEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(plr.Name)
print(BigEvent)
Fell()
end
end)
if game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(plr.Name) then
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(plr.Name).OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
Fell()
end)
end
Though I respect the initiative to solve your issue, this is a totally convoluted approach. Your sole problem is that LocalScripts get replicated to each client. As a player, you can see other players’ characters. These characters can interact with the environment, and you can pick up on these interactions. Since you can detect the collision of other players’ characters, and all players respond to this collision by assuming they were the one to collide with the part, they all teleport themselves.
You need only ensure the person who collided with the part was the local player
I’d honestly just watch a couple of YouTube tutorials on Remote Events to get a better understanding of them. Your current setup would work in theory but is extremely inefficient and ignores a lot of functionality associated with Remote Events
Right, but that platform replicates to the client, so they should be able to detect collisions without the server’s help. Here’s an example script:
--!strict
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
local function onLivingLocalPlayerTouched(part: BasePart, callback: (player: Player, otherPart: BasePart) -> ()): RBXScriptConnection
return part.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart: BasePart)
local character = otherPart.Parent :: Model
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid or humanoid.Health <= 0 then
return
end
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player or player ~= Players.LocalPlayer then
return
end
callback(player, otherPart)
end)
end
local function onTouched(player: Player)
print(`{player} touched the part!`)
end
onLivingLocalPlayerTouched(Part, onTouched)
Thanks, but I want to make it so that the script can communicate only to the local script of the player who fell, how do I do that? Do I have to use a Remote Event or are there other methods?
Can you justify why the server is being involved? I do not see any part of the given code can’t be handled solely on the client (where it should be). Furthermore, not applying a player-specific debounce to the part will allow players who fall at the same time to slip through. If you’re keen on informing a specific client of an event from the server, use a singleRemoteEvent instance with FireClient. I have already shown you how to derive a Player instance from a part-on-part collision
Instead of doing that you should get the player’s character directly through a hit function/Touch event. Then teleport said character to spawn.
If you have any questions on how to do that let me know.
Okay so, instead of doing all of that, simply insert this script in the part that’s supposed to be teleporting the player back to spawn.
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr and not deb then
deb =true
plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("bleh2").CFrame
task.wait(.1)
deb = false
end
end)
