think you can do that using remote events

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

yes you can. Simply:

fire a remote event to the server.
listen to the event on server and connect it to your function you want to execute on that event.

Bruhh what is this

My clickdetector doesnt detect a mouse click?

local clickdetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local event = game:GetService("ServerScriptService").CloseCells

clickdetector.MouseClick(function()
    print("Sending signal")
    event:FireServer()
end)

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

doesn't it print?

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

stark ruin doesn't it print?

#

ill try to switch to a proximity button

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

it actually works in my test

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

This is a simple fix, just a typo on OP's part
You're missing the :Connect part, @outer stump:

local clickdetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local event = game:GetService("ServerScriptService").CloseCells

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
    print("Sending signal")
    event:FireServer()
end)

regal fulcrum This is a simple fix, just a typo on OP's part You're missing the `:Connect` par...

Yep thats it

#

how I missed that

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

o

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

stark ruin how I missed that

Same reason people miss semicolons in JavaScript lol, you just assume it's there.

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

uhm

#

guys

#

local clickdetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local event = game:GetService("ServerScriptService").CloseCells

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    print("Sending signal")
    event:FireServer()
end)
``` wheres the typo now...

#

because

#

it doesnt work 😅

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

It's not printing?

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

still no

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

That's weird, but I have an idea.

#

Is "event" a BindableEvent, or a RemoteEvent?

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

RemoteEvent in ServerScriptService

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

For server-server communication you'll need a BindableEvent, not a RemoteEvent.

#

RemoteEvents are for client-server and server-client communication.

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

he probably missed to put the event inside replicated storage

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

There's not a typo, he's simply using the wrong event.

#

Assuming he's after server to server communication, he needs to be using a BindableEvent.

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

but how would a event difference interfere with a print function??

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

It's not printing?

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

it wasnt

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

Oh?

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

hold on

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

it should be

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

Where's the actual script located?

#

And is it a ServerScript or a LocalScript?

#

If it's a LocalScript it could be bugging since it can't access ServerScriptService.

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

so i need to put it in replicatedStorage?

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

Remove the whole event part, and just ensure the ClickDetector's working.

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

outer stump so i need to put it in replicatedStorage?

Depends on whether the script is a LocalScript or a ServerScript.

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

its a local

#

BRO

#

NAHH

#

local clickdetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    print("Sending signal")
end)

NO OUTPUT

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

That's... weird

#

Could you show us a screenshot of your Explorer, showing where the ClickDetector & script are?

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

outer stump

shouldn't it be normal script?!!!

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

stark ruin shouldn't it be normal script?!!!

Works for both.

#

Are you definitely clicking the button, @outer stump? (Stupid question, I know)

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:52 PM

#

regal fulcrum Works for both.

it actually doesn't

#

tried a local script and doesn't print

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:52 PM

#

Oh, for real?

I'll have to test that out.

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

oh yea

#

a normal script did it

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

....

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

it prints when its a normal script

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:53 PM

LocalScripts don't run in Workspace, oops.

outer stump Nov 4, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

regal fulcrum LocalScripts don't run in Workspace, oops.

but buttons are in workspace

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

outer stump a normal script did it

You're going to need a BindableEvent.

stark ruin Nov 4, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

regal fulcrum LocalScripts don't run in Workspace, oops.

its just intended to control the player

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 5:55 PM

I stand by this comment.
You can use a LocalScript for a ClickDetector, if it's somewhere like StarterPlayerScripts.

last thing and the door should be done,

does anyone maybe know how to make this:

CFrame.new(anchor.Size.X + -0.3,0,-5)

be the opposite of this

CFrame.new(anchor.Size.X + 0.3,0,5)

#

like the -5 works, but the -0.3 doesnt

#

it wont go backwards

#

probably an issue with the 2 symbols (+ and -) at the front, but i dont know how to fix it

regal fulcrum Nov 4, 2022, 7:02 PM

#

Try anchor.Size.X - 0.3?
