RemoteEvent Firing but not being detected by server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, I am trying to make a script to fire a remote event when I click a certain part.

The remote event fires, as it prints out a statement that I put after it would fire.

Here is my code for the click detector part:

local remoteEvent = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”).BeatQueenBee
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

remoteEvent:FireClient(player)
print("hello from client")

end)

and for my server script:

local BossTracker = require(game:GetService(“ServerScriptService”).BossTracker) – Get the ModuleScript
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BeatQueenBee

local function setBoss1Defeat(player)

BossTracker.Data[player.UserId].boss1 = true

print(BossTracker.Data[player.UserId].boss1)
print("Success!")

end

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
print(“hello from server”)
setBoss1Defeat(player)
end)

It seems as if the server doesn’t detect the remoteevent from firing in the first place. I have the clickdetector as a regular script and the server script as a regular script too. I tried doing this using a local script in startercharacterscripts that would detect if the part has been clicked, but it still doesn’t detect the event from the server.

i think you must use fire server to reach the server if you are firing from a client script

Tried that but it only gives me an error stating that the remote event can only fire from the client.

It’s because you probably have the code inside of a Script instead of a LocalScript, and inside the workspace. You’ll have to put it in like StarterGui or something and in a LocalScript

Edit: or use a BindableFunction

I tried it with a local script and it did not work. I want to make it so you have to click a certain part in the workspace that will spawn when a certain boss becomes defeated to fire the remote event.

You appear to be using RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent in a server script, not only that but you are also using RemoteEvent::FireClient on the client, it’s supposed to be RemoteEvent::FireServer.

Tried it with a OnServerEvent, but it told me that I cant fire a server event from the client.

I tried a local script and did that, and it still didn’t fix the problem.

So in the click detector script, its supposed to be FireServer? And in the server script its an OnServerEvent?

On the client, you use RemotEvent::FireServer, and on the server you use RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent

So they are both server scripts
your going to need to use a bindable event

One is in a click detector and one is in serverscriptservice. How would I do that?

14

Try changing “FireClient” in the first script to “FireServer”, and “OnClientEvent” in the server script to “OnServerEvent”.

well i would suggest using while true do end to see which one is server, if your game crashes then its client

I tried that but its giving me an error stating that it can only be called from the client.

Put a bindable event in ReplicatedStorage or ServerStorage and use

Event:Fire()

On the click detector and

Event.Event:Connect(function()

end)

In the other script

What do you mean by that? What would I have to do?

Make a bindable event in server storage it works the same way as a remote event

yeah just do this

they are both server script so it wouldnt work

Is your script that uses FireServer a LocalScript or a normal Script?
