Why does my code absolutely ignore my code?

Hello roblox developers!
INTRODUCTON
I’m creating a game called “Streak Simulator” in which your kills are numbered to make you stronger.
PROBLEM
For the final phase, the ability is to kill people on a specific hitbox per second.
I have a part called “StreakPhase7Hitbox” and a folder called “UnaffectedItems” and I added this folder so that players can’t punch the hitbox part w/ the player. My code ABSOLUTELY ignores my clone code for the hitbox. When it runs, I get an error stating that the hitbox is not a valid member of the folder.

Code (Server Script):

game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase7.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, player)
	player.PlayerGui.PressEStreakPhase6:Destroy()
	player.PlayerGui.MobileStreak6:Destroy()
	local NewFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
	NewFolder.Parent = player.Character
	NewFolder.Name = "UnaffectedItems"
	local SP7H = game.ServerStorage.StreakPhase7Hitbox:Clone()  <- This it where it ignores the codes.
	SP7H.Parent = player.Character.UnaffectedItems  <- This it where it ignores the codes.
	SP7H.Safe.Value = player.Name  <- This it where it ignores the codes.
	player.PlayerGui.PressEStreakPhase7.Enabled = true
	player.PlayerGui.MobileStreak7.Enabled = true
	for i, v in pairs(player.Character:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.ClassName == "ParticleEmitter" or v.Name == "Powerful" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	local SP6 = player.Character.Head.StreakPhase6
	SP6:Destroy()
	local char = player.Character
	player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value = false
	player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value = true
	player.Values.AbleToPunch.Value = true
	player.Values.PowerAbility.Value += 2500
	player.Character.Animate:Destroy()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.AnimationFinal:Clone().Parent = player.Character
	player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
	player.Values.Walkspeed.Value -= 60
	local DetailNoS = game.ReplicatedStorage.DetailPhase7Streak:Clone()
	DetailNoS.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	for i, v in pairs(DetailNoS:GetChildren()) do
		v.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
		local newV = v:Clone()
		newV.Parent = player.Character.Head
		local newV2 = v:Clone()
		newV2.Parent = player.Character["Left Arm"]
		local newV3 = v:Clone()
		newV3.Parent = player.Character["Left Leg"]
		local newV4 = v:Clone()
		newV4.Parent = player.Character["Right Arm"]
		local newV5 = v:Clone()
		newV5.Parent = player.Character["Right Leg"]
		local newV6 = v:Clone()
		newV6.Parent = player.Character.Torso
	end
	DetailNoS:Destroy()
	wait(3)
	local SP7 = workspace.StreakPhase7:Clone()
	SP7.Parent = player.Character.Head
	SP7:Play()
	wait(18.83)
	game.Workspace.ValuesServer.FOVGui.Value = true
	local Transformation1 = game.ReplicatedStorage.TransformationCompleteShock:Clone()
	Transformation1.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	for i, v in pairs(Transformation1:GetChildren()) do
		v.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	end
	Transformation1:Destroy()
	local Transformation2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.TransformationCompleteShock:Clone()
	Transformation2.Parent = player.Character.Head
	for i, v in pairs(Transformation2:GetChildren()) do
		v.Parent = player.Character.Head
	end
	Transformation2:Destroy()
	local Transformation3 = game.ReplicatedStorage.TransformationCompleteShock:Clone()
	Transformation3.Parent = player.Character["Left Arm"]
	for i, v in pairs(Transformation3:GetChildren()) do

	end
	Transformation3:Destroy()
	local Transformation4 = game.ReplicatedStorage.TransformationCompleteShock:Clone()

	Transformation7:Destroy()

	game.ReplicatedStorage.FinalPhaseEffectShock:Fire(player)
	wait(2)
	workspace.ValuesServer.FOVGui.Value = false
	workspace.ValuesServer.TransformPhase7StreakGui.Value = false
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase7Ability.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, player)
	player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.Enabled = true
	player.Character:WaitForChild("UnaffectedItems").StreakPhase7Hitbox.ShockScript.Disabled = false  <- This it where it errors.
	player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "1"
	wait(1)
	player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.Enabled = false
	player.Character:WaitForChild("UnaffectedItems").StreakPhase7Hitbox.ShockScript.Disabled = true  <- This it where it errors.
end)

Can you please help me? Thanks.

Can you explain on where exactly your issue is?

By looking at it, you are using a RemoteEvent

  • Are you sure its inside ReplicatedStorage along with the Script?

  • Are you sure you are Firing the RemoteEvent with :FireServer()?

Not Sure why you have a second variable named player, can you explain that?

#3

Remote event in replicated storage?

#4

Shouldn’t that be in server script storage or workspace?

#5

RemoteEvents are for client and server usage, so the ideal place is ReplicatedStorage

#6 
local SP7H = game.ServerStorage.StreakPhase7Hitbox:Clone()
SP7H.Parent = player.Character.UnaffectedItems
SP7H.Safe.Value = player.Name

Everything else other than these lines of code work.
Yes: It is in ServerScriptService
I am firing it with :FireServer
Proof:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.leaderstats.Kills:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	if player.Values.Streak.Value == true then
		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 5 and player.Values.StreakPhase1.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase2.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase3.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase4.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase5.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase1:FireServer(player)
		end

		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 10 and player.Values.StreakPhase2.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase3.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase4.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase5.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false and player.Values.StreakKills.Value then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase2:FireServer(player)
		end
		
		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 25 and player.Values.StreakPhase3.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase4.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase5.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase3:FireServer(player)
		end
		
		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 50 and player.Values.StreakPhase4.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase5.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase4:FireServer(player)
		end
		
		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 75 and player.Values.StreakPhase5.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase5:FireServer(player)
		end
		
		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 100 and player.Values.StreakPhase6.Value == false and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase6:FireServer(player)
		end
		
		if player.Values.StreakKills.Value >= 250 and player.Values.StreakPhase7.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.StreakPhase7:FireServer(player)
		end
	end
end)
--This script is a local script in StarterGui

Also i dont know why i have two player variables so dont judge me :smiley:

#8

I may see the issue here. Based on the 1st line of code, I assume you are in a LocalScript. When you declar “SP7H”, you reference ServerStorage, but that is not accessible by the client. Correct me if I’m mistaken here.

#9

Im not sure why you have a second Variable for the Player, the First Variable literally is the player

#10

Your reply scares me, you don’t have random scripts in workspace too do you?

#11

your wrong. im using a regular script in serverscriptservice

#12

ill change it i guess…? i dont know why that bothers you because its irrelevant from what im asking for.

#13

local RepStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

RepStorage:WaitForChild(“StreakPhase7”).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, player)

#14

Then “game.Players.LocalPlayer” won’t work, as that only works on the client.

#15

all i had to really do was just really simple.
how naive i was. i really thought that adding a part to the character without even SETTING it’s position and welding it to the character would work.
it works now.
