RemoteEvent is not being Recived on one end causing my script to malfunction

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. I want to make a rock respawn system when the rock breaks and have it give a remote event which is recived waits the respawn time and puts it back in anouther random location

  2. Once I break the part and it gives out a remote event I can see it did with prints It is no recived on the other side and it has me confused

  3. I was on here before I also tried looking at similar problems from other people to try to implement and I have been trying to debug this myself using prints

Input Side:


local RockHealth = script.Parent.Settings.Health
local RockName = script.Parent.Settings.Name
local Rock = script.Parent


RockHealth = 5
RockName = "Rock"

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDestory
local DamageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDamage

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	DamageEvent:FireClient(player)
	RockHealth = RockHealth - 1
	print(RockHealth)
	
	
	if RockHealth <= 0 then
		Rock:Destroy()
		Event:FireClient(player)
		print("eventfired")
	end
end)

Reciving End:

-- Services
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local WS = game:GetService("Workspace")

-- Variables
local Rock = RS.Rocks.Rock2
local Event = RS.Remotes.RockDestory
local RespawnTime = 3

local possibleLocations = WS.RockPositions:GetChildren()

-- Function to spawn a rock at a random location
local function spawnRock()
	local RandomRock = RS.Rocks:GetChildren() -- Get all rocks in the Rocks folder
	local ChooseRock = RandomRock[math.random(1, #RandomRock)] -- Select a random rock
	
	print(ChooseRock)
	print("spawning") --Test Prints
	
	local clone = ChooseRock:Clone() -- Clones Our Random Rock
	local randomPos = possibleLocations[math.random(1, #possibleLocations)] -- Places Rock in one of the Locations
	randomPos.IsTaken.Value = true
	

	clone.Position = randomPos.Position
	clone.Parent = WS.Rocks
end

-- Initial Rock Spawn
spawnRock()

-- Rock Respawn on Event Trigger
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	print("recived") --test print
	task.wait(RespawnTime)
	spawnRock()
end)

It does not end up printing Recived on serverevent

Feel free to ask for more info and anything helps thank you

Where is the input script located?

Its located in the part I want to delete

#4

What service? (workspace I’m assuming?)

#5

It starts in ReplicatedStorage and it gets cloned into workspace into its random position

#6

The issue is this line:

Replace it with this one:

DamageEvent:FireServer(player)

Since you’re firing the event with FireClient, the server never receives anything because it’s expecting a client-to-server signal.

Now its giving me this error:

FireServer can only be called from the client

(Im assuming it has to be local???)

#8

Correct, and the logic won’t be affected.

#9

Now my damage isn’t working

local RockHealth = script.Parent.Settings.Health
local RockName = script.Parent.Settings.Name
local Rock = script.Parent


RockHealth = 5
RockName = "Rock"
print(RockHealth)

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDestory
local DamageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDamage

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	DamageEvent:FireServer(player) ----Changed from FireClient
	RockHealth = RockHealth - 1
	print(RockHealth)


	if RockHealth <= 0 then
		Rock:Destroy()
		DamageEvent:FireServer(player)
		print("eventfired")
	end
end)

I changed the end of the damage function from fire client to fireserver assuming the same logic

This should be Event:FireServer(player) if that’s the logic you’re going for.

#11

yes thats what I changed it to

#12

This should be the fixed version

local RockHealth = script.Parent.Settings.Health
local RockName = script.Parent.Settings.Name
local Rock = script.Parent

RockHealth = 5
RockName = “Rock”
print(RockHealth)

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDestory
local DamageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDamage

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
DamageEvent:FireServer(player) ----Changed from FireClient
RockHealth = RockHealth - 1
print(RockHealth)

if RockHealth <= 0 then
Rock:Destroy()
Event:FireServer(player)
print(“eventfired”)
end
end)

#13

If you call :Destroy on the client, nothing will actually happen on the server

#14

This is referred to as a Data Leak, and will caused drained performance as more and more rocks get mined.

#15

what do you suggest I do instead?

#16

Destroy it on the server instead of on the client

#17

So put it on the server when the event is recived? ok

#18 
local RockHealth = script.Parent.Settings.Health.Value
local RockName = script.Parent.Settings.Name
local Rock = script.Parent

RockHealth = 5
RockName = "Rock"
print(RockHealth)

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDestory
local DamageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RockDamage

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	print("CLicked")
	DamageEvent:FireServer(player) ----Changed from FireClient
	RockHealth = RockHealth - 1
	print(RockHealth)

	if RockHealth <= 0 then
		Event:FireServer(player)
		print("EventFired")
	end
end)

This still deosn’t print RockHealth or Clicked none of theseValues or function work anymore

#19

I recommend relocating the script to StarterPlayerScripts, as client scripts don’t run when directly in the workspace.

#20 
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local WS = game:GetService("Workspace")

local Rocks = RS.Rocks
local Rock = Rocks.Rock2

local RockHealth = Rock.Settings.Health
local RockName = Rock.Settings.Name


RockHealth = 5
RockName = "Rock"
print(RockHealth)

local DestroyEvent = RS.Remotes.RockDestory
local DamageEvent = RS.Remotes.RockDamage

local ClickDetector = Rock.ClickDetector

local function Clicked ()
	print("Clicked")
end

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	Clicked()
end)

--ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
--	print("CLicked")
--	DamageEvent:FireServer(player) ----Changed from FireClient
--	RockHealth = RockHealth - 1
--	print(RockHealth)

--	if RockHealth <= 0 then
--		DestroyEvent:FireServer(player)
--		print("EventFired")
--	end
--end)

Its no longer detecting any Mouse Clicks
