  1. What do you want to achieve?

My brain is melting, for an idea. I have some ducks in workspace and every 3 seconds i want the ducks to send a remoteEvent to the server to store in the dataStore

  1. What is the issue?

I geniuly can’t , i did a while wait loop in a PlayerAdded function but it dosent work. Please help

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?

None of the solutions i found seem to help

First server side

local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = repStorage:FindFirstChild("Events")
local AddPoint = Events:FindFirstChild("AddPoint")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	while wait(3) do
		AddPoint:FireClient(player,1)
	end
end)

Client:


local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = repStorage:FindFirstChild("Events")
local AddPoint = Events:FindFirstChild("AddPoint")

AddPoint.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player,point)
	print(point)
	AddPoint:FireServer(point)
end)

I’m not understanding this 100%, does the point not add? Do you get an error of some sort?

The point is that i cant fire the client to the server

#4

Can I see the script for the client to server event?

can’t you just use a bindable event?

You dont seem like you understand. I just can’t seem to find a way to get the player to fire the client event

#7

How would that work? Never used that

#8

If all you’re doing is Firing the “AddPoint” event in that script you can loop through all the children in players and fire it (and then put it in a true loop)

while true do
    for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren())
        AddPoint:FireClient(Player, 1)
    end
end

Although @x_Kranxy the use of the code here is really confusing and doesn’t really make sense. Could you explain this in a bit more detail please? Maybe I could help you a bit more.

a bindable event is like a remote event apart from instead of going from client to server or server to client you can do client to client or server to server

#11 
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = repStorage:FindFirstChild("Events")
local AddPoint = Events:FindFirstChild("AddPoint")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	while wait(3) do
		AddPoint:FireClient(player,1)
	end
end)

AddPoint.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	warn(" ¬¬ ")
	warn("save dss :p ")
end)
#12

So, i have a duck mesh in workspace. Any many other spawing along,i want them so every 3 seconds they give a point. (the point is given in the dataStore script via a remoteEvent) thats what its suppose to do atleast

#13

OnClientEvent doesn’t have the player as the first argument. That’s only for OnServerEvent.

#14

As stated by @weding3 use a BindableEvent.

Something like this should work:

local BindableEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Event

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	while true do
		BindableEvent:Fire(Player, 1)
		task.wait(3)
	end
end)

BindableEvent.Event:Connect(function(Player, Amount)
	Player.leaderstats.Points.Value += Amount
end)

If you are still unsure on BindableEvents click here

#15

My bad, thanks for the tip tho.

#16

Consideing you added player as an argument on OnClientEvent, It is being treated as the point and not point itself meaning this will happen

AddPoint.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player,point)
	print(point) -- This prints player!
	AddPoint:FireServer(point) -- This fires as player argument!
end)
--Fix
AddPoint.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(point)
	print(point) 
	AddPoint:FireServer(point)
end)
#17

So why are u sending it to the client for data saving anyway?

#18

Yea so you see. That dosent work. It could be the same with a RemoteEvent but if you try to do a loop inside a PlayersAdded function dosent work

#19

It works fine for me, I’m unsure what the issue is.

#20

Beacuse i cant send it from a Server function to another Server funciton via RemoteEvents

#21

That is what bindable events do :smiley:
