OnServerEvent script only working when the RemoteEvent and the script are in workspace

I’m trying to get a brick to change color when the player activates a RemoteEvent when they click, and I’ve proven that the RemoteEvent is indeed firing, but it seems that since both the RemoteEvent and the script to receive it are both in a tool, the script isn’t seeing the RemoteEvent being fired.

– Here is the LocalScript firing the RemoteEvent

    ````	local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() 


	
	Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if MegidolaonButton.Visible == true and MegiPlacer.parent == workspace then
	print("event should fire")
		
		megiEvent:FireServer() -- look at this!
	elseif MegidolaonButton.Visible == false and MegiPlacer.Parent ~= workspace then
		print("Event should not fire!")
	end	
end)

and here is the Server Script to receive it

````local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
MegiEvent = script.Parent.MegiEvent
local MegidolaonPlacer = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("MegidolaonPlacer") 
local MegidolaonPlacerPosition = MegidolaonPlacer.Position

local function megidolaon()
game.Workspace.PartForMegiEventTest.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
print("boom!")



script.Parent.MegiEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(megidolaon)
end

I’m pretty sure this has something to do with how the RemoteEvent and Server Script are failing to communicate since they’re both in a tool, but I don’t understand what it is that makes that so.

#2

If the localscript is in workspace, it will not work.

#3

The LocalScript is within the tool, my bad also, I accidentally wrote client script instead of server script above the server script

#4

Move this line outside of the function. Other than this, the only other reason I see is that the LocalScript does not define megiEvent

#5

I definitely did need to move that outside the function, but it still isn’t working. And MegiEvent
is defined in an earlier part of the LocalScript

#6

Are there any errors in the output?

#7

There aren’t any for the bit of script I’ve written out here. And there’s no errors preventing the script from running.

#8

How is megiEvent defined in your local script?

#9

megiEvent = script.Parent.Megievent
