Remote Event Not Firing from Server to Client

I can’t get my remote event from server to client to fire. The remote event that is not firing is the Flaming one and it fires inside of another event if RNG hits the 1/5 chance. Here is the script that calls the event.

local R = game.ReplicatedStorage.HatRemotes.Cap

R.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local RNG = math.random(1, 5)
	if RNG == 5 then
		print("FlamingS")
		plr.leaderstats.FlamingCap.Value = plr.leaderstats.FlamingCap.Value + 1
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Flaming:FireClient(plr) -- HERE is where it is called
		print("Flaming") -- Prints
	else
		plr.leaderstats.Cap.Value = plr.leaderstats.Cap.Value + 1
	end
end)

This is the script for the event

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Flaming.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	task.wait(1.03)
	workspace.Crate.Inside.Fire.Enabled = true
	task.wait(3.06)
	workspace.Crate.Inside.Fire.Enabled = false
	print("DoneF") -- Doesn't print or error out
end)

Can you please put another print() before the task.wait()'s in the second script

Is the second script in a local script or a server script?

Local script, should it be server sided?

No, but the first script should be

Can you please put print() before the task.wait()'s in the second script

It didn’t print before the wait either.

Where is the LocalScript located in the game? If it’s not a descendant of one of the following objects (listed at the bottom of this post), its code will not run which means that the client would never actually be listening for the RemoteEvent to be called.

  • A Player’s Backpack , such as a child of a Tool
  • A Player’s Character model
  • A Player’s PlayerGui
  • A Player’s PlayerScripts .
  • The ReplicatedFirst service

OnClientEvent is broken?[SOLVED!]

You’re right, I forgot that you can’t put client sided things in ServerScriptService but It is now in ReplicatedFirst and it says that “Remotes is not a valid member of ReplicatedStorage”

Instances in the ReplicatedFirst Service become “visible” to the client before anything in the other Services (according to its Developer Hub Documentation) which means that the “Remotes” folder that is being referenced in the ReplicatedStorage may not have been replicated to the client yet. In other words, the LocalScript’s code likely ran before it was able to know that the folder was there yet.

Adding :WaitForChild() on the folder and the subsequent RemoteEvents that are referenced may resolve that error.
