Simple clickdetector color change script issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I’m trying to make a part color change locally. I’m doing this using a remote event but I can’t find anything on the devhub, youtube, or devforum to fix this simple script. In the output it responds to my issue by saying "Part1 is not a valid member of Workspace “Workspace”. I’ve also tried to use local scripts by themselves as well and to use local functions.

local script:

game.Workspace.Part1.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	game.Workspace.Event.OnServerEvent:FireServer()
end)

script

game.Workspace.Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Part1.Color = Color3.new(0.380346, 1, 0.348455)
end)

Ensure that Part1 is anchored or has can collide on.
Also, you should be using a RemoteEvent, so ensure you aren’t using a bindable event or smth.

You can also try adding game:Workspace:WaitForChild(“Part1”) instead of game.Workspace.Part1

#3

Everything is correct and I set it to game:Workspace:WaitForChild(“Part1”) yet it still doesn’t function properly and there is nothing in the output.

#4

What script is erroring? Is it hte local script or the server script?

#5

The local script is erroring, it definitely has something to do with the local script.

#6

You don’t do

Event.OnServerEvent:FireServer()

you do

Event:FireServer()

Hope it helps
Edit: You use OnServerEvent when connecting the remote from client to server, so the server script you got is alright.

From the official documentation:
“ClickDetector events fire on both the client and the server. Since a LocalScript will only run if it descends from a Player or player Character, it’s usually not useful to put a LocalScript inside a ClickDetector, since the script won’t run or the object won’t be clickable. If you need a LocalScript to detect ClickDetector events, StarterPlayerScripts may be a better place instead.”

I’m trying to think of a solution but the documentation is very vague

Nah he just had referenced the remote event incorrectly that’s why (already explained in the other reply I sent)

Edit: Wait I just read the entire thing about Part1 is not a valid member of workspace, well, even if that thing worked the point I made still stands so now you only have 1 issue!
Regards this one its probably what this guy above said
