Passing parameters for carry script

  1. What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to find a way to pass my “hit” parameter for my carry script. Here’s how my carry script will work:
  • When you hold R, you’re able to physically touch someone with the touched event, and grab and carry them. Then when they’re welded to you, you have to keep holding R to carry them.
  • When you let go of R, you stop carrying them by breaking the weld.

  1. What is the issue? I can’t find any way for my Input events to access the same hit parameter. The carrying part is easy, but the un-carrying part is harder.

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried putting my InputEnded in the scope of the touched event, which is in a for i,v loop looping through the children of the player’s character, which is inside the InputBegan. So basically what I tried:

Summary 
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(key,blah)
    if blah then return end
    if key.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.R then
       for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren())do
           if v:IsA('BasePart) or v:IsA('MeshPart) then
               v.Touched:connect(function(hit)
                   --send remote event to server to create the weld and send hit parameter
                   InputEnded:connect(function(key,blah)
                       if blah blah blah then
                           --send remote event to server to destroy weld and send hit parameter
                       end
                   end
               end)
           end
       end
    end
end)

I also tried handling the touch event on the server, which is where I am at now. But I have the same issue. :[ Here is what I have so far:

Local script 
--[Local script]--

local player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Players = game:GetService('Players'):GetChildren()
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')


local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local HRP = char:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart')

local isCarrying = false
local rPressed = false


UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(key,blah)
	if blah then return end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		rPressed = true
		isCarrying = true
		if rPressed and isCarrying then
			RS:WaitForChild('RemoteEvents').Flying.Carrying:FireServer(isCarrying)
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(key,blah)
	if blah then return end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		rPressed = false
		isCarrying = false
		if not rPressed and not isCarrying then
			RS:WaitForChild('RemoteEvents').Flying.Carrying:FireServer(isCarrying)
		end
	end
end)
Server script 
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local DB = false
RS.RemoteEvents.Flying.Carrying.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,isCarrying) --[when inputBegan key = r, then isCarrying = true; when inputEneded key = r, then isCarrying = false]
	local char = player.Character
	if isCarrying then
		for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA('BasePart') or v:IsA('MeshPart') then
				v.Touched:connect(function(hit)
					if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and not DB then
						local targetChar = hit.Parent
						DB = true
						print('true')
					end
				end)
			end
		end
	else
		DB = false
		print('false')
	end
end)

Nothing really changed lmao…how do I achieve my goal?
