I would like to get both of two different local scripts (yes they are on starterGUI) to receive a remote event. For some reason, when the event is fired (and yes it does fire and is in replicated storage) only the first of the two local scripts receives it.
I’ve looked at this post and tried it’s “solution” which was applying a wait before one of the script’s event but it just makes the other one fire.
This doesn’t make sense, and I’m about to minorly crash out. Please help me 
it’s been a whole 7 minutes and no replys. I’m getting impatient 
.
not to mention, the previous “topic” that I posted immediately got a bunch of replys, what the follicle
There’s not much we can do to help without your code…
can you provide ANY other context? like code, snippets, explorer
(its like asking for help but not telling the person what the problem is)
oh right yeah yeah
so this is the code from server:
event.Owned:FireClient(plr, saveData[plr.UserId].inventory)
and these are the codes from the two local scripts
local 1:
event.Owned.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(inventoryTabl)
print("local 1 recieved")
for i,id in ipairs(inventoryTabl) do
itemTabl[id].owned = true
end
if itemTabl[option].owned then
buyButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
buyButton.Text = "Owned"
else
buyButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 255, 0)
buyButton.Text = "Purchase?"
end
end)
aaaaaannndd local 2:
event.Owned.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(InventoryDict)
print("local 2 recieved")
inventory:ClearAllChildren()
for i, ID in ipairs(InventoryDict) do
local itemType = idSystem.itemTabl[ID].itemType
if itemType == "part" then
local itemClone = parts:WaitForChild(idSystem.itemTabl[ID].name):Clone()
itemClone.Parent = inventory
end
if itemType == "pack" then
local itemClone = packs:WaitForChild(idSystem.itemTabl[ID].name):Clone()
itemClone.Parent = inventory
end
end
end)
We’ll need to see the entirety of both scripts
are you sure that the server gets the plr correctly?
are you sure that the second script isn’t disabled or yielded by another function? (via: wait, task.wait, waitforchild, etc.)

It’s possible that either script is yielding long enough that the event is missed. You can determine this by placing a print call right before RemoteEvent:FireClient is called, then by adding a breakpoint prior to both RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect calls. Investigate what’s taking up the that time. In general, a better design would be to use a RemoteFunction that enables clients to request data from the server when they’re ready to receive it
yeah that makes sense, thank you very much and have a splendid day 
Just a little closing statement.
Probably the sheer amount of “WaitForChild” functions are yielding the scripts and @Ziffixture had a better idea to just make a remote function. Funnily enough, I literally already made a remote function to give data to the client so yeah… to conclude ig just use functions 
Mind you, the server does not need to use Instance:WaitForChild for any instance that exists in the edit data model (Roblox Studio). When Roblox starts a game server, it clones the edit data model, then streams it to the client. Since Scripts run on this server-sided data model clone, all instances will already exist for those Scripts. The client has to await them due to the fact its copy of the data model has to be downloaded over time. The only time you’ll use WaitForChild on the server is for instances created during runtime
oh really? thats really useful thanks again
