Why isnt remote event being received when it should?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so i have this local script in a tool that fires a remote event on the requirements, and idk why but the server never receives it. am i missing something?:

Local:

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local char = tool.Parent
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	
	task.wait(0.05)

	if humanoid then
		-- Unequip the tool instantly on the server
		if char.DoingMove.Value == false and char.Stun.Value == false then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Moves.Hammerhead["Hammer Smash"]:FireServer()
			print("move")
		end
		humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end)

Server:

local rockmodule = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild(“RockModule [Fixed]”))

game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“Moves”):WaitForChild(“Hammerhead”):WaitForChild(“Hammer Smash”).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
print(“wow”)
local char = player.Character
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”)
local anim = script:FindFirstChild(“Animation”)

if humanoid and anim and humanoid.Health > 1 and char.DoingMove == false and char.Stun.Value == false then
	char.Stun.Value = true
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	humanoid.JumpPower = 0
	char.DoingMove.Value = true
	local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
	track:Play()
	local rootPart = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	task.delay(1, function()
		rockmodule.OnGround(rootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2), 5, true )
		char.Stun.Value = false
		char.DoingMove.Value = false
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		humanoid.JumpPower = 50
	end)
end

end)

Do not use WaitForChild on the server, it’s bad practice. Also see if the remote event actually ends up firing or not.

It is also highly recommended to play animations on the client, they can automatically replicate.

in the server i put a print for wow, but it doesnt print wow, only “move” from client

Add a print above the actual function to see if the script is running or not.

These might be a bit dumb troubleshooting options but that’s how I do it and I get the solution always.

wait a minute, if i remove the require module it works but then i need it to make rock craters for a smash, um how would i require it better

As expected. You need to see if the module has some delay in it or not. You can also use task.spawn like so:

local rockmodule
task.spawn(function()
	rockmodule = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild(“RockModule [Fixed]”))
end)
#7

works but when i use a function from module, it says attempt to index nil which im pretty sure means rockmodule isnt defined

#8

I see, then maybe check if there are any delay in said module? Can you show me the modules code?

#9

its 300 lines long… should i just send the OnGround function part of it

#10

That’s… reassuring.

You can see if it has some delay yourself, like check for any wait’s. Do that by pressing Ctrl+H and typing “wait”. This would show every and ANY possible delay.

#11

where would i “type” wait… comand bar?

#12

No.

#13

oh that, ye i mean there are waits but they’re neccessary, i think

#14

If they are unnecessary then remove them?

Can you just send me the code? I can fix the issue better that way.

#15

the module? the onground part or full thing if module

#16

Full thing.

how did u bypass text limit?? anyways

Secret. x3 (<- Click the link to know.)

Also, about the module. I just tested everything and it works without delays?? I mean, this issue is quite interesting now…

I used this script:

print("starting..")
local m = require(workspace.ModuleScript)
print("ended???")

#19

so uh what now

#20

Well, you could just move the position of the rockmodule line, i.e:


game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“Moves”):WaitForChild(“Hammerhead”):WaitForChild(“Hammer Smash”).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
print(“wow”)
local char = player.Character
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”)
local anim = script:FindFirstChild(“Animation”)

if humanoid and anim and humanoid.Health > 1 and char.DoingMove == false and char.Stun.Value == false then
	char.Stun.Value = true
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	humanoid.JumpPower = 0
	char.DoingMove.Value = true
	local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
	track:Play()
	local rootPart = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	task.delay(1, function()
		rockmodule.OnGround(rootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2), 5, true )
		char.Stun.Value = false
		char.DoingMove.Value = false
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		humanoid.JumpPower = 50
	end)
end
end)
print("Starting to assign the module.")
local rockmodule = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild(“RockModule [Fixed]”))
print("Assigned the module.")

And also add some prints up and down of it. Just in case.
