What's wrong with my tool "Laser Beam"?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello I would like to know what is wrong with my tool, I need that when firing the LaserBeam and if it hits a humanoid then the WalkSpeed and RunSpeed should be set to 0, so that they can’t move… :frowning:

LocalScript called “LaserGunScript”:

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local LaserGun = script.Parent
local Tip = LaserGun.Tip

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character


LaserGun.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
	Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		local Laser = Ray.new(Tip.CFrame.p, (Mouse.Hit.p - Tip.CFrame.p).unit * 300)
		local HitPart, HitPosition = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(Laser, Character, false, true)

		local LaserBeam = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
		LaserBeam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
		LaserBeam.FormFactor = "Custom"
		LaserBeam.Material = "Neon"
		LaserBeam.Transparency = 0.25
		LaserBeam.Anchored = true
		LaserBeam.CanCollide = false

		local LaserDistance = (Tip.CFrame.p - HitPosition).Magnitude
		LaserBeam.Size = Vector3.new(0.3, 0.3, LaserDistance)
		LaserBeam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Tip.CFrame.p, HitPosition) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -LaserDistance/2)

		Debris:AddItem(LaserBeam, 0.1)

		if HitPart then
			local HitHumanoid = HitPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

			if not HitHumanoid then
				HitHumanoid = HitPart.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			end

			if HitHumanoid then
				HitHumanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
				HitHumanoid.RunSpeed = 0
			end
		end
	end)
end)

So I’ve encountered this problem a few times. This is in a LocalScript, which means it’s only local to the player and the other player doesn’t experience it. You need to use a RemoteEvent to do it for both players or the whole game.

You are trying to make the gun fire on the client. You need the ray and the humanoid WalkSpeed change to be in a normal script. The information about the where the player clicked, as well as the signal to fire the weapon, should be passed from the client to the server with a RemoteEvent.
