I have made two scripts, a server and a local script.
The serverScript invokes a remote function to the client with a for loop.
The local script SHOULD recieve the remote function and print out a simple print statement, confirming that it did recieve the remote function, but it did not.
ServerScript: ( the code above the for loop is working, so don’t worry about that)
ReplicatedStorage.CreateServers.CreateServer.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
print("CreateServer")
local ServerID = tostring(math.random(10000, 99999))
local ServerEntry = Instance.new("StringValue")
ServerEntry.Value = ServerID
ServerEntry.Name = player.Name .. " 's Server"
ServerEntry.Parent = ListofIds
local ServerName = Instance.new("StringValue")
ServerName.Name = player.Name.. "'s SERVER"
ServerName.Value = player.Name.. "'s SERVER"
ServerName.Parent = ServerScriptService.ServerIDHandler.ServerNames
-- set the parent as the last property because it's more optimized
for _, ReceivePlayer in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- the loop
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames:InvokeClient(ReceivePlayer, player.Name, ServerName.Value)
end
Local script
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PlayerNameText = script.Parent.PlayerNameText
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames.OnClientInvoke = function(player, ServerName)
-- Invokes in ServerIDHandler
print(ServerName.Value .. "PLAYERS SCRIPT")
end
You are invoking the client using a RemoteFunction, but this is why using :InvokeClient() isn’t recommended, because the client may not always return and your code will yield for extended periods of time. You aren’t returning on the client, return at least something using return.
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames.OnClientInvoke = function(player, ServerName)
-- Invokes in ServerIDHandler
print(ServerName.Value .. "PLAYERS SCRIPT")
if ServerName.Value then
return true
else
return false
end
end
Nope the print statement still did not get printed:
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames.OnClientInvoke = function(player, ServerName)
-- Invokes in ServerIDHandler
print(ServerName.Value .. "PLAYERS SCRIPT")
if ServerName.Value then
return true
else
return false
end
end
for _, ReceivePlayer in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames:InvokeClient(ReceivePlayer, player.Name, ServerName.Value)
print("for loop")
end
But the local script doesn’t detect the remote function.
ServerName.Value in the client side would be obviously nil. What you sent to the client is the value of the ServerName, not the variable ServerName. So it should be:
