Tool.Activated not firing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, when I try to use the Tool.Activated function, it doesnt detect any sort of activation being made but it should?

Here are the scripts

Local:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local tool = script.Parent
local event = script.RemoteEvent

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("activated")
	event:FireServer(plr)
end)

It does not print activated

Server Script:

local animFolder = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Animations")
local slash1 = animFolder.Slash1
local slash2 = animFolder.Slash2
local slash3 = animFolder.Slash3

local debounce = false

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	print("yes")
	local char = plr.Character
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	if humanoid then
		local animTrack1 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(slash1)
		animTrack1.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

		local animTrack2 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(slash2)
		animTrack2.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

		local animTrack3 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(slash3)
		animTrack3.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

		local sounds = {
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Slash1,
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Slash2,
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Slash3
		}

		local currentAnimationIndex = 1

		print("activated")
		if debounce == true then return end
		debounce = true
		sounds[currentAnimationIndex]:Play()
		currentAnimationIndex += 1
		if currentAnimationIndex > 3 then
			currentAnimationIndex = 1
		end
		if currentAnimationIndex == 1 then
			animTrack3:Stop()
			task.wait()
			animTrack1:Play()
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Trail.Enabled = true
			task.wait(.5)
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Trail.Enabled = false
			print("done")

		elseif currentAnimationIndex == 2 then
			animTrack1:Stop()
			task.wait()
			animTrack2:Play()
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Trail.Enabled = true
			task.wait(.5)
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Trail.Enabled = false
			print("done2")

		elseif currentAnimationIndex == 3 then
			animTrack2:Stop()
			task.wait()
			animTrack3:Play()
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Trail.Enabled = true
			task.wait(.5)
			script.Parent.Parent.Handle.Trail.Enabled = false
			print("done3")

		end
		
		task.delay(.25, function()
			debounce = false
		end)
	end
end)

Same here, nothing is being printed.

Here are the tool’s behaviour settings.

Try to move the RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage, and not in the script.

#7

Already tried that, still didnt work.

#8

A small suggestion, Remote Events in local scripts already take the player, so you can remove plr and do event:FireServer()

is the localscript in StarterPlayerScripts?

EDIT: oh i didn’t see script.Parent

#10

Try move the local script as child of Tool, not Handle.

#11

It’s not in the handle?

#12

Can you show us the child and parent of inside the tool?

#13

Local script is inside the tool and then the script and remote event are both inside it. This isn’t causing the problem though.

#14

How the player receive the tool?
When he joins or if he click or touch something?

#15

There’s an amulet which the player activates, and that works with .Activated function but this doesnt. Then the player transforms and receive this sword.

#16

set the runcontext of the script to client instead of legacy

#17

Didn’t do anything.

Hello, just tested this out myself:

And it works.
Try restarting your studio.
If restarting studio hasn’t worked since last time, then I suggest remaking the tool but keeping the script. It’s a quick and easy way to restart mistakes in properties you may have edited.

Also, I suggest moving your event out of your tool and into replicated storage.
Not to bash anyone’s scripting method here but if this tool where to be re-used its more efficient to have one server code handle every tool.
