Remote event failing to fire

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am currently working on a bit of an animation of sorts that uses remote events triggered by a touch interest. The script for calling the remote event goes as follows, mind you that this is a local script

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.kevent:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
	wait(5)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.effectk:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
end)

The script that triggers when the remote event fires works perfectly, I even called the event through a seperate localscript using a regular

game.ReplicatedStorage.effectk:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
2

pretty sure that LocalScripts can’t run in workspace

Any possible workarounds you would suggest?

The only way they can run in the workspace is if you put them inside StarterCharacterScripts

5

drop the script inside StartCharacterScript, should work at its current state

I would first of all recommend you to remove the parameter “game.Players.LocalPlayer” when firing the event. It’s a client → server event so the player variable is passed automatically. The parameter is just an unnecessary payload.

local froggies = {}
local debounceTable = {}



for i = 1, 8 do
	froggies[i] = game.Workspace.ragdoll["ragdollfroggy" .. i]
end

for _, froggy in pairs(froggies) do
	froggy.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if plr and not debounceTable[froggy] then
			debounceTable[froggy] = true
			game.ReplicatedStorage.kevent:FireServer(plr)
			wait(5)
			game.ReplicatedStorage.effectk:FireServer(plr)
			debounceTable[froggy] = false
		end
	end)
end
