Nothing running after these lines

Hey, I am super confused why my code is not running after the .Activated event.

	elseif RunService:IsClient() then

		local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
		local Character = PlayerAdded(Player)
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

-- IT GETS PAST THE VARIABLES; NVG IS CONFIRMED TO BE A TOOL!

		self._Maid:GiveTask(
			self.NVG.Activated:Connect(function()
-- I CLICK AND NOTHING SEEMS TO HAPPEN??? NOT EVEN A PRINT EVEN RUNS HERE.
				Equip:FireServer(Player)

				UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(...)
					self:Pressed(...)
				end)
			end)
		)

Any help is good help. Thanks.

Is there any event other than Activated fire like MouseButton1Click?

#3

Nope, I have no clue why it is not working.

#4

Maybe try to connect the function outside the Maid environment?

Just tried:

	self.NVG.Activated:Connect(function()
			print("here")
			Equip:FireServer(Player)

			UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(...)
				self:Pressed(...)
			end)
		end)

Nothing ran.

I also added a function to the maid module to see if it was even running; it does.

Okay, so I actually don’t know the exact problem, but there might be a GUI or something that is messing up the screen and not allowing the mouse button clicks to be received.

#7

Nope!

self._Maid:GiveTask(
			Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
				print("Clicked")
			end)
		)

Thank you Roblox for being so confusing smh.

Just asking, does the NVG tool require a handle?

#9

Yes, it does require a handle.

#10

Probably the last checks:

  • Does the event Equipped fire?
  • Check the ManualActivationOnly property of the tool
  • Check the Enabled tool property
  • Restart your studio (maybe a studio bug or something)
#11

Okay…the equipped event does not fire. I am unsure why it doesn’t. Even though self.NVG returns a tool.

#12

Are you sure that the NVG does have a part called ‘Handle’?

#14

Okay.
At least, does the event fire while connecting it from another script with direct reference?

Thats an odd problem tbh…

#15

It does fire the event from a direct reference. I would say that it could be that I am using CollectionService to get the NVG, but I always use CollectionService and it works fine.

#16

I haven’t tried CollectionService while working with tools, you might want to implement your code with another approach. Idk.

#17

I’ll see if I can, I saw other games use ColllectionService with tools, idek anymore.

Thanks for the help though!
I’ll let you know if I find a solution.

#18

Do you use local scripts? Even if you are on a client, you can only run the activated and input events on a local script.

#19

Thats not true, tool events can be registered on the server.

#20

How did you obtain this information? Almost all of the tools I’ve seen utilize remote events. Is it true that the server can read client input?
