Hello, Im trying to get the mouse.Target from the client using remote events, but when I do so, the product turns nil. How do I successfully get the mouse.Target from the client using remote events
Code:
Client:
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function ()
print(mouse.Target)
if game.ReplicatedStorage.WhichAbility.Value == "Ability1" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Fire:FireServer(mouse.Target)
print(mouse.Target)
elseif game.ReplicatedStorage.WhichAbility.Value == "Ability2" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Fire2:FireServer()
end
end)
I have not tested in studio, but mouse.Target could be nil in case when your mouse hovers on the skybox not aiming at any object. You should set a check in the clientscript to negate nil and avoid sending nil over to server through remotes unless you need that.
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function ()
if mouse.Target then
if game.ReplicatedStorage.WhichAbility.Value == "Ability1" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Fire:FireServer(mouse.Target)
print(mouse.Target)
elseif game.ReplicatedStorage.WhichAbility.Value == "Ability2" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Fire2:FireServer()
end
end
end)
If mouse.Target is the issue and always returns nil, you can always try mouse.Hit and check if that exists.
I have a print statement that tells me what mouse.target is before its transferred to the server. I know for a fact its not nil before it enters the remote event
It seems to be working fine when I do a test in studio.
Client:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
print("Client: ", mouse.Target)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Fire:FireServer(mouse.Target)
end)
Your Fire2 remote doesnt have any arguments in the client script. You are listening to the Fire2 event that passes nil as argument. You should add in arguments for that.
