I’m having a couple issues with a RemoteEvent I’ve set up not being received by the server.
It’s kind of puzzling me since I’ve done other RemoteEvents in the exact same way, but this one refuses to fire anything to the server.
As the player clicks a button, I want to fire an event which will in turn fire a module, but like I said absolutely nothing is being received from the server script:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local button = script.Parent
local UnlockAbility = function()
local ability = button.Parent.Parent
if ability:GetAttribute("SkillAttained") ~= true then
ability:FindFirstChild("Underlay").Visible = true
ability.ImageTransparency = 0
ability:SetAttribute("SkillAttained",true)
button.Text = "Unlocked"
button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.305882, 0.356863, 0.356863)
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
script.LoadAbilities:FireServer(ability)
return ability
else
return "Break"
end
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local ability = UnlockAbility()
if ability == "Break" then return end
for i,scripts in pairs (player.Backpack:GetDescendants()) do
if scripts:IsA("LocalScript") then
if ability:GetAttribute("Key") == scripts:GetAttribute("Key") then
scripts.Enabled = true
end
end
end
end)
There aren’t any issues with the scripts that I’m aware of, since the same code for firing the event has worked in other applications before, and I know it’s not because of the parenting of the scripts as everything is a descendant of the players PlayerGui.
Everything else in the code works fine, except the event being fired.
This is what should happen if the event is triggered by the server:
local AH = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("AbilityHandler")
local AbilityHandler = require(AH)
script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,ability)
print"received"
end)
Thats the entire server script, nothing else has been added since it won’t do anything.
I also know the script is running since the code the change the colour of the button works, where if there was an error it would yield the LocalScript
Ex. Local:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local stamina = player.Backpack:WaitForChild("Stamina")
local staminaUse = 20
Enabled = true
local isTargetStunnable = false
local stunLock
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameprocess)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V and not gameprocess then
if not player.Character:GetAttribute("Shifted") then return end
if stamina.Value < staminaUse then return end
if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Action") or player.Character:FindFirstChild("Stun") then return end
if Enabled == true then
script.Function:FireServer("upper")
stamina.Value = stamina.Value - staminaUse
Enabled = false
wait(6)
Enabled = true
end
end
end)
Ex. Server:
local dmgModule = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("DamageModule"))
Enabled = false
Combo = 1
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
function performAction(c,t)
local action = Instance.new("BoolValue",c)
action.Name = "Action"
game.Debris:AddItem(action,t+1)
end
function checkCombo(c)
if Combo == 1 then
Combo = 1
local hand = c.RightHand
local anim = c.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(c.Animate.uppercut.UppercutAnim)
local t = anim.Length
performAction(c,anim.Length)
anim:Play()
return anim
end
end
script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,action)
local c = player.Character
if Enabled == true then return end
Enabled = true
c.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = c.Humanoid.WalkSpeed*0.8
checkCombo(c):GetMarkerReachedSignal("Hit"):Connect(function()
dmgModule.Uppercut(player,action,c.LeftHand)
end)
wait(8) -- TIME BEFORE NEXT HEAVY
Enabled = false
end)
This script works perfectly fine and I don’t get any issues with it.
The parenting of the scripts is very similar as well, only difference being that the localscript for the script above is a part of the backpack, not PlayerGui.
Even then, other scripts work perfectly fine within the PlayerGui, and testing whether a ServerScript works, being a part of the PlayerGui, with a simple print"example" also proves it should work.
Since the button was a clone, I believe it was trying to check whether the original buttons event was being fired, which it was passing as false. thus letting the rest of the script continue.
My idea to fix this was just have the one dropdown who’s parent changes whenever you click on another skill to unlock, therefore the event will always be the one found in the original button.
Could have maybe specified which button I was looking for specifically, but I found it simpler to just move the button around to different parents instead.
