Server/Client replicating issue

[SharkRayMaster (Dasiwa)]

So I have an effect when the player kills an enemy that makes some particles and sound effects

I’d like these to be synced to the animation so I made them play on the client since If i fired a remote event it’d have some delay

Of course, the problem is, doing this on the client doesn’t let the other players see it

SO I THOUGHT: After doing it on the client I'll fire an event to replicate it on the server

THE ISSUE:

If i use FireAllClients() it will also re-replicate on the player who fired the event first, so the player will see it happen twice

help please

Fire it to every player except for the one who you already did the effect for.

[SharkRayMaster (Dasiwa)]

How? does FireAllClients have a parameter for that?

[Katrist]

Use a loop.

Code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RemoteEvent = whatever

for i, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
	if player ~= alreadyFiredPlayer then
		RemoteEvent:FireClient(player)
	end
end

Oh… why didn’t I think of that?

Also Is it not necessary to use pairs() in a for loop?

[Katrist]

Yeah, I’m using generalized iteration. It’s not necessary to use pairs or ipairs.
