OnClientEvent not working properly?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have an onclientevent atm that I’m going to be using to shake a players screen when they are hit, but atm it does not fire properly. Can someone explain what im doing wrong? (This is all inside of a tool btw if that helps)

server

hitEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	
	print("Mouse1")
	M1hitbox:HitStart(1.5)
	
	
	M1hitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit, humanoid, player)
		
		local hitEnemy = hit.Parent
	
		local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		
		print("1")
		
		shakeEvent:FireClient(player)
		
		print("2")

client

local function working()
	print("working")
end

shakeEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(working)

console output:

  11:30:35.820  Mouse1  -  Server - Server:44
  11:30:36.521  1  -  Server - Server:54
  11:30:36.521  2  -  Server - Server:58
  11:30:36.521  LeftUpperArm  -  Server - Server:62

Where is the shake event? you might be getting different remotes from client/server

edit:(also print right before ShakeEvent gets binded on the client to make sure its getting binded)

#3

The shake event is in the same tool as the script and local script and defining the shake event is the same in both tools

local shakeEvent = weapon:WaitForChild("PlayerHit")

what do you mean print before the shake event gets binded? like print before the function in the local script like this?

local function working()
	print("working")
end

print("test")
shakeEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(working)

yeah, when you do :Connect it binds the function to the event, also did it print test?

I fixed it earlier, basically the only issue was that the remote event apparently needs to be in replicated storage in order for it to fire from server to client lol
