My OnClientEvent doesn't seem to be receiving

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

My firing

SCIremote:FireClient(player,"FlightinfoHere",Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

My receiver

local function update(player,info,Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

print("ClientRecieved")

print(player.Name)

end

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update)

The client receiver doesn’t seem to work for some reason.

Any errors in the script? Also, what are the variables SCIremote and remote?

Nope, I tested print and its normal everything fired
I even tested the fireclient for player.name and it printed the name so yeah.

The client already knows who the player is with local player = game.Player.LocalPlayer so it doesn’t need to send the player from the server to the client.

 local player = game.Player.LocalPlayer
    local function update(info,Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

    print("ClientRecieved")

    print(player.Name)

    end

    remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update)

You will still have to keep player in the parameters in the FireClient(player… because then the server knows who to send it to.

It is because the first parameter of your update function: “player”. Since the remote is fired towards a client, you do not need to index the player target from the receiving client.

U forgot an S in player but it still doesn’t receive anything.
I put these together so Idk if it causes a problem?

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remote = ReplicatedStorage.SCI

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

---------------------------------------------------------------------

while true do

remote:FireServer("flightinfo")

print("FiredServer")

wait(30)

end

local function update(info,Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

print("ClientRecieved")

print(player.Name)

end

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update)

See if this causes the problem, I removed it and it still doesn’t recieve. ^^^^^

I turned it into this and it worked lol.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remote = ReplicatedStorage.SCI

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

---------------------------------------------------------------------

local function update(info,Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

print("ClientRecieved")

print(player.Name)

end

while true do

remote:FireServer("flightinfo")

print("FiredServer")

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update)

wait(30)

end

Might be your while true do loop, move your update function into a dummy function as such:

-- update function
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(...)
-- function
end)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remote = ReplicatedStorage.SCI

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local function update(info,Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

print(player.Name)

end

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update)
while true do

remote:FireServer("flightinfo")

print("FiredServer")

wait(30)

end

Put your while loop at the very end. No other code is being read because it is in front of it all.

I see thanks you. --------------------------------------------------

If it is resolved then do mark one of the reply as the solution, for the sake of organization.

also do not do this because every 30 seconds it’ll create a new event for remote and then when the server fires to the client the client will fire multiple times

14

How long should I do it then? ------------------------------------

Like this. Look at the difference. The remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update) is before the while loop and not in it.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remote = ReplicatedStorage.SCI

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

---------------------------------------------------------------------



local function update(info,Status,Time,Gate,Destination,Aircraft,Flightnum)

print("ClientRecieved")

print(player.Name)

end

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(update)
while true do

remote:FireServer("flightinfo")

print("FiredServer")

wait(30)

end
