Remote Events Are Bugged Out In My Game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have been utterly clueless as to why this is occurring. Basically, I’ve been working on my script for over 5 months now, and had the base of it done a long time ago and never touched it since. At the beginning, when the player joins, I send the data over to the client via a remote event:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
	
	
	
	local MainDataStore = Datastore2("MainDataStore",Plr)
	local ResetDataForTesting = MainDataStore:Set(DefaultStats) -- remove before release
	local PlayerData = MainDataStore:Get(DefaultStats)


	if PlayerData.DatastoreVersion ~= CurrentDatastoreVersion then -- if the user's current datastore is not up to the changed datastore, it will add the extra value to their datastore
		print(PlayerData.DatastoreVersion , CurrentDatastoreVersion)
		PlayerData = MainDataStore:GetTable(DefaultStats)
		print(PlayerData)
	end

	
	local function callRemote (Value)
		ReplicatedStorage.Events.RE:FireClient(Plr,"REUSED",Value)
		print("Updated")
	end
	
	Instance.new("Animator",workspace:WaitForChild(Plr.Name).Humanoid)
	

	RE:FireClient(Plr,"PlayerJoined")
	callRemote(PlayerData)

	print(Plr)
	MainDataStore:OnUpdate(callRemote)

	
	PlayerDataScriptScope[Plr.UserId] = PlayerData
	
end)

(Take note that this does use Datastore2)

This worked fine for the longest time, on the client, I retrieve both “REUSED” and “PlayerJoined” simultaneously:

RE.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Key,Var1,Var2,Var3)

	if Key == "REUSED" then
		PlayerStats = Var1
		print(PlayerStats)
		if PlayerStats.FirstTime == true then
			Player.PlayerGui.PC_UIS.Frame.Interface.Follows.Text = 0
		else
			Player.PlayerGui.PC_UIS.Frame.Interface.Follows.Text = PlayerStats.Followers
		end

		Player.PlayerGui.PC_UIS.Frame.Interface.Likes.Text = PlayerStats.Likes
		Player.PlayerGui.PC_UIS.Frame.Interface.Views.Text = PlayerStats.Views




	elseif Key == "PlayerJoined" then -- Starts the intro sequence
		print("Here")
		controls:Disable()
		camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.CameraAngles.Intro.Position)*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(workspace.CameraAngles.Intro.Orientation.X),math.rad(workspace.CameraAngles.Intro.Orientation.Y),math.rad(workspace.CameraAngles.Intro.Orientation.Z))

		workspace.BackupDancer1.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(ReplicatedStorage.NPCAnims.Dance):Play()
		workspace.BackupDancer2.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(ReplicatedStorage.NPCAnims.Dance):Play()

		game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = true
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Music.Intro:Play()

		Player.PlayerGui.IntroScreen.Logo.Position +=  UDim2.fromScale(0,-2)
		Player.PlayerGui.IntroScreen.Buttons.Position +=  UDim2.fromScale(-2,0)
		local Logo = TweenService:Create(Player.PlayerGui.IntroScreen.Logo,TweenInfo.new(2),{Position = UDim2.fromScale(0.357,-0.052)})
		Logo:Play()
		Logo.Completed:Wait()
		local Buttons = TweenService:Create(Player.PlayerGui.IntroScreen.Buttons,TweenInfo.new(2),{Position = UDim2.fromScale(0.344,0.339)})
		Buttons:Play()
end

Again, without issue for the longest time, never touched it once. Now, suddenly, my client script refuses to retrieve anything fired from the server. I have printed and ensured that the server is doing it’s part in firing to the client, and I debugged the client to no avail.

I even tested if the code was yielded for some strange reason - but it isn’t.

I’m quite frusterated since this ruins my entire game now, and I really don’t wish to start over, so any help would be great.

If you are needing more information, please let me know.

EDIT: It works at random intervals, like 1 in 20 times it will retrieve it which is also very weird to me

#2

It could be because you fire the local script after the joined event is ran. Try putting in like a 1 second wait when sending the event

#3

I have also tried this as well, and it doesn’t seem to fix it, its really frustrating

#4

Might be dumb idk, but It’s just an idea to change this as workspace:WaitForChild() will yield (and can infinitely Yield if it never appears). Just an idea, probably won’t change anything though…


repeat task.wait() until Plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

local Animator = Instance.new("Animator")
Animator.Parent = Plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	

	RE:FireClient(Plr,"PlayerJoined")

Also gotta ask, where is the remote event in these scripts, as well as the server and local scripts (and that the Variable RE, is the same on the server and client?)

#5

Turns out, I just needed to yield the server script slightly like @hya123456h suggested, I was just yielding it wrong.

RE is the remote event, and it is located in Replicated storage, client script is in starter player, and server script is in SSS
