Hello! I want to instance a part on the server and access it on the client.
I tried this:
-- Server
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function()
local Part = Instance.new()
return Part
end
-- Client
local Part = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()
print(Part) -- Prints nil for some reason
Yes, I’ve searched but had a hard time finding anything sorry.
When i get the part from the client, it’s nil for some reason.
I believe you first need to create the Part’s properties, then parent them to the workspace? Try this:
-- Server
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function()
local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Parent = workspace
return Part
end
-- Client
local Part = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()
print(Part) -- Prints nil for some reasonWhat do you mean access it? I’m unsure as to what you’re trying to accomplish.
Hi, by accessing it I mean be able to get a reference to that part in the client. Idk how else to explain it sorry.
as jackscarlett said, you have to parent it to workspace (or somewhere else)
edit: also, as cristiano100 said, you must fill the first argument. i didnt see that mistake
You need to fill out the first arguement of the new() function, which if you wanted a part would be “Part”
local Part = Instance.new()
Such as
Instance.new("Part")
It also needs to be parented somewhere the client can access it.
Hello! I solved my issue.
For future reference for other people:
-- Script i used
-- Server
RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player, Item)
return Item:Clone()
end
-- Client
local Item = RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(Cake)
The issue was that I forgot the player argument existed lol so I tried cloning the player
