Screen shake in server script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve got an ability in my game but i feel like it’s missing a screen shake at some point but since the local script inside the tool fires a remote that activates a server script i haven’t found a way to make a screen shake if anyone knows a way to do this please let me know

You cannot call for a module from a server script

You cannot screen shake from a server script

You’d need the server script to communicate back to clients and tell them to do a screen shake. Although if your ability is a big load, I don’t recommend doing it on the server.

There is no camera on the server… therefore there cannot be a screenshake

ngl you got me in the first half, but you said

There is no recommendation needed because it’s not possible…

Bruh I think you’re reading way too fast, I was talking about the ability he mentioned. He said a local script fires a remote event and makes the server do the actual heavy lifting of the ability. I said if his ability is a heavy load it should be replicated to clients instead of happening on the server.

Okay just did some testing my mistake there IS a camera on the server and you can manipulate it but other players won’t see it though

Well you can’t really do it from the server since you need the camera, but you can try to do something like this;

1- You can make an OOP modulescript in ReplicatedStorage, passing the values you want, camera/shake intensity, etc.

2- From a Script in ServerSide, you use a remote to communicate to the client player and pass the values

MyRemote:FireClient(Player, shakeintensityvalue, duration, etc)

3- The remote code when communicating with the Player Client will call the ModuleScript and create the camera effect you want

MyRemote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(ShakeIntensityValue, duration)

local MyCameraModule = CameraModule.New()

MyCameraModule.Intensity = ShakeIntensityValue

MyCameraModule.Duration = duration

MyCameraModule:Shake()

end

i ended up doing this but now i’ve got another problem accuring since i do want it to stay visible to other players the script has to be used on the server side so what i did was just add a wait in the local script and make the camera shake on the time it needs to the problem now is since i’ve got a wait in there i am not able to use the previous script i was using as cooldown
