Why is my Sword block Event not working?

#1

I’m trying to make a sword, and I’ve tried many things but none seem to work, so I tried using remote events, and it works for the most part, but breaks halfway through, Basically it sends a remote event from the client to server when the MB2 input began, and another one when MB2 input ends, but it doesn’t seem to send the second one.

Local Script:

 local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")



local tool = script.Parent
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local isEquipped = false
local BlockEvent = script.Parent.BlockRemote
local BlockStopEvent = script.Parent.BlockStopRemote


-- Ensure that the character's humanoid contains an "Animator" object
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

-- Create a new "Animation" instance and assign an animation asset ID
local kickAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
kickAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://16020632123"

-- Load the animation onto the animator
local kickAnimationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(kickAnimation)

local function onEquipped(_mouse)
   isEquipped = true
   print("The tool was equipped")
end
tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
   isEquipped = false
   print("The tool was unequipped")
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
   if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
   	kickAnimationTrack:Play()
   	BlockEvent:FireServer()
   end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
   if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
   	BlockStopEvent:FireServer()
   	kickAnimationTrack:Stop()
   end
end)

Server Script:

--CONFIGURATION
local Turn = 1
local Damage = 35
local Cooldown = 2

local BlockEvent = script.Parent.BlockRemote
local BlockStopEvent = script.Parent.BlockStopRemote

--END
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tool = script.Parent
local mesh = script.Parent.Handle

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
   if script.Parent.Cooldown.Value == false then
   	script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = true
   	script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = true

   	local Humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
   	local Anim1 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack1)
   	local Anim2 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack2)
   	local Anim3 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack3)
   	local Slash = script.Parent.Slash


   	if Turn == 1 then
   			Anim1:Play()
   			Turn = 2

   			Anim1.Stopped:wait(Cooldown)
   			script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
   			script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = false
   			wait(.3)
   			Slash:Play()
   	elseif Turn == 2 then
   			Anim2:Play()
   			Turn = 3

   			Anim2.Stopped:Wait(Cooldown)
   			script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
   			script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = false
   	elseif Turn == 3 then
   			Anim3:Play()
   			Turn = 1

   			Anim3.Stopped:Wait(Cooldown)
   			script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
   			script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = false
   			wait(.2)
   			Slash:Play()
   	end
   else
   	return
   end
end)

script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
   if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
   	local Humanoid = Hit.Parent.Humanoid

   	if script.Parent.CanDamage.Value == true then
   		Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
   		script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
   	else
   		return
   	end
   else
   	return
   end
end)

local function Block ()
   print("block test!!!")
   script.Parent.Blocking.Value = true
   forceField = Instance.new("ForceField")
   forceField.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
end

BlockEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Block)

local function UnBlock ()
   print("unblock test!!!")
   script.Parent.Blocking.Value = false
   forceField:Destroy()
end

BlockStopEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Block)

while true do
   wait(1)	
   print(script.Parent.Blocking.Value)
end

by the way the force field is supposed to be destroyed if it wasnt obvious

and another one when MB2 input ends, but it doesn’t seem to send the second one

Prioritize your blockevent over the animation.

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
   if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
   	kickAnimationTrack:Play()
   	BlockEvent:FireServer()
   end
end)

if this doesn’t work please respond.

Would you mind giving me the script that intercepts when the event is fired?

Sure, but the server script is the one that picks it up, i already showed it above, anyways here it is:

--CONFIGURATION
local Turn = 1
local Damage = 35
local Cooldown = 2

local BlockEvent = script.Parent.BlockRemote
local BlockStopEvent = script.Parent.BlockStopRemote

--END
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tool = script.Parent
local mesh = script.Parent.Handle

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Cooldown.Value == false then
		script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = true
		script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = true

		local Humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
		local Anim1 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack1)
		local Anim2 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack2)
		local Anim3 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack3)
		local Slash = script.Parent.Slash


		if Turn == 1 then
				Anim1:Play()
				Turn = 2

				Anim1.Stopped:wait(Cooldown)
				script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
				script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = false
				wait(.3)
				Slash:Play()
		elseif Turn == 2 then
				Anim2:Play()
				Turn = 3

				Anim2.Stopped:Wait(Cooldown)
				script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
				script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = false
		elseif Turn == 3 then
				Anim3:Play()
				Turn = 1

				Anim3.Stopped:Wait(Cooldown)
				script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
				script.Parent.Cooldown.Value = false
				wait(.2)
				Slash:Play()
		end
	else
		return
	end
end)

script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local Humanoid = Hit.Parent.Humanoid

		if script.Parent.CanDamage.Value == true then
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
			script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false
		else
			return
		end
	else
		return
	end
end)

local function Block ()
	print("block test!!!")
	script.Parent.Blocking.Value = true
	forceField = Instance.new("ForceField")
	forceField.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
end

BlockEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Block)

local function UnBlock ()
	print("unblock test!!!")
	script.Parent.Blocking.Value = false
	forceField:Destroy()
end

BlockStopEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Block)

while true do
	wait(1)	
	print(script.Parent.Blocking.Value)
end

once again, thanks for the quick response

oh yeah and i forgot to mention, when i let go of right click it fires the input began function again, sometimes 3 times.

Oh my god I am so dumb, sorry to waste your time, it turns out i had the blockEndEvent connect to the first function sorry!!! :sweat_smile:

#9

My apologies for confusing you as well, you can still implement the randomness system I outlined above, unless you already have one.

#10

No I appreiecate it, its just a combo system like strongets battle grounds
