EDIT: Adjusted script in accordance to first reply.
(The script here is a bit odd, I’m simply trying to get basic client functionality. In the future, it’ll be rewritten better, and individual weapon stats and such will be in a module. It understandably does not work well with multiple players, but I’ll handle that later)
I’m working on the basis for a specialized weapon system, and I’m getting started with a simple sword made of baseparts. So far, it’s working great. The animations work, and timing is fine.
However, I’m starting to add damage functionality, and have had no luck. I’m trying to test some parts with print statements between client and server, and I’m getting some insanely incorrect responses.
Full localscript inside the weapon tool itself:
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = localPlayer.Character or localPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Tool = script.Parent
local animation = script.SwordEquip
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local swordProp = character:WaitForChild("SwordProp") --Fake sword part on players hand, for animation purposes, irrelevant to issue
local swordDummy = character:WaitForChild("SwordDummy") --Fake sword part on players back, for animation purposes, irrelevant to issue
local debounce = false
local damageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Damage") --remoteevent
local Anims = {}
local connections = {}
local AnimIds = {
"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=95678176300380", --equip anim
"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=77433726648962" --attack anim
}
for i, ID in pairs(AnimIds) do
animation.AnimationId = ID
Anims[i] = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
local currentAnim = Anims[i]
currentAnim.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
end
--issue area starts

if not otherPart or not otherPart:IsA("BasePart") then

end)
What I have of the serverscript inside the hitbox of the sword tool:
local damageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Damage")
local debounce = false
--local waitTime = 0.5
damageEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, weapon, damage, hit, weaponDebounce)
print("yes")
print(player, weapon, damage, hit, weaponDebounce)
end)
The output should be, in order:
Maytronics13, TestSword, 10, (Whatever rig part), 2
The output I am currently receiving:
Maytronics13, Maytronics13, TestSword, 10, (Whatever rig part)
I’ve never experienced anything like this, and don’t know how to go about fixing it. I’ve already tried working with only a hit value, but it never returns anything beside nil.
The values do print in correct order (technically), but they somehow all have each others values, or just the wrong one (except damage, which is correct)
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you!
