Why is my BindableEvent do nothing when it's fired?

Issues

Okay so I know this script works as it worked beforehand but not it refuses to work. It fires the event but doesn’t do anything.

Attempt

I’m attempting to combined this BindableEvent and a RemoteEvent into a singular script, they are to work separate but both be in the same script to prevent lag. I know that one script doesn’t cause TOO much lag but just for the sake of organization and it already being set-up, i’d like to try to get this functional.

Here's a photo of what I mean by it being in the same script but working separately.

Theory

I believe I’m missing an end function somewhere but I have no idea where.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Does .Event event fire at all? If not, may I see how are you firing your bindable event?

Here you go.

Any output if you add a print statement after .Event “runs”?

#5

No, there is nothing when I do the print function.

#6

So I’ve tried copying the code inside .Event event into my place and it seems to work just fine. Are you sure .OnServerEvent fires?

#7

.OnServerEvent isn’t supposed to fire when the BindableEvent gets fired.
.OnServerEvent is for the RemoteEvent only.

#8

But you’re firing a bindable event from .OnServerEvent

#9

Which script are we talking about- I am an idiot…
So, I figured out my mistake… I had the Event programmed to the wrong name.
