It says that the parameter is nil even though it exists on both the client and server

[neon folio]

the code is gonna be under this since the code is in a textfile

I would recommend expanding the file, because it looks a little goofy if you don't

[neon folio]

I mean fully viewing it

[dense saffron]

which parameter

[neon folio]

part

anyways

I just found the issue

[dense saffron]

ok

[neon folio]

The part that I make on the server doesn't replicate in the time it takes for RemoteEvent on the client to receive :OnClientEvent

😭

[dense saffron]

oh

[neon folio]

I might ask a question later

[dense saffron]

okay

[neon folio]

gotta go get mickey d's

[neon folio]

anyways how would I make sure that part exists on the client after the clients receives the remote?

[dense saffron]

Pass the instance in the event and check if workspace.part == passedPart

Or if passed part then...

[neon folio]

it's not really like only one of the part that exists will be named part

or "Handle" as I named it

sorry for not responding 💀

[dense saffron]

Yeah == compares instances

Not name

[dense saffron]

Part.name == other part.name would do that

[neon folio]

well I mean it doesn't exist at the time of running it

so I gotta make sure it exists first or else nothing really happens

anyways if I were to do if workspace.part == passedPart nothing would happen because passedPart doesn't exist for the client yet

and this would happen for every new part I would have to make

[dense saffron]

No I corrected that

[neon folio]

really?

[dense saffron]

Use if workspace:FFC(passedpart) instead

[neon folio]

isn't the argument for findfirstchild a string?

I'll try it anyways

[dense saffron]

O yeah

[neon folio]

yeah it says missing argument

[dense saffron]

Forgot bout that

U could just use Wait for child then

[neon folio]

doesn't that also use a string?

[dense saffron]

Yeah

[neon folio]

I'll try it

[dense saffron]

But you could pass the name of the part

[neon folio]

I'll try

It still says that part is nil

[neon folio]

error "attempt to index part with nil"

do you have beef with my code problem 😭?

[dense saffron]

No I thought it would be an easy fix

Lol

[neon folio]

yeah

😦

[dense saffron]

I have an idea

[neon folio]

yeah?

[dense saffron]

local try
repeat
    try = workspace:WaitForChild(passedName)
    task.wait()
until try == passedPart

[neon folio]

how do I turn on no check for a script?

[dense saffron]

What

[neon folio]

nvm I'll just try that

also would I just set try = nil

[dense saffron]

No

U could

But that would work

[neon folio]

uh

alr

[dense saffron]

oops

Did It crash 😭

[neon folio]

yeah uh

it still errors 😭

[dense saffron]

O

[neon folio]

I asked about nocheck since it turns off type-checking 😭

[dense saffron]

What error

[neon folio]

attempted to index nil with name 😭

[dense saffron]

What

Oh

Oops

Pass the string name

Not the instance

[neon folio]

well uhh I forgot to add a wait

[dense saffron]

😭

[neon folio]

well I can't get the part itself so all I have is the name 😭

[dense saffron]

Yeah

So pass the name

And instead of passedPart.Name do passedPart

Or I guess you should change it to passedName

[neon folio]

nah I'll just pass both the name and the instance

[dense saffron]

Updated this

Okay but passing the instance raised an error last time

[neon folio]

yeah I passed the instances name instead of doing instance.Name

yeah but I hope that after the instance's name is checked by the until loop

that the instance actually exists

[dense saffron]

wait

O yea

But

That would also raise an error

😭 forgot

Wait it wouldn't

🥴

I fixed it 💀

[neon folio]

I think I broke my code 😭

[dense saffron]

uh oh

[neon folio]

wait nvm

I put a print into the repeat loop

and uhh

try NEVER equals to name

[dense saffron]

No

try checks the instance of the part

but try is defined as wait for child

With the name

[dense saffron]

This

[neon folio]

how could it ever equal an instance if it's trying to set try as a string?

[dense saffron]

It's not

[neon folio]

really?

[dense saffron]

Wait for child returns an instance

But the arg is a string

[neon folio]

hmm yeah

but regardless it still isn't working

[dense saffron]

Probably bc there's multiple

[loud hollow]

** You are now Level 20! **

[neon folio]

nah there's only one part named Handle

[dense saffron]

Is there?

Oh

That's weird

Use the update code and add prints

[neon folio]

I did earlier

and I tried again

still just keeps on printing

[dense saffron]

Um

That's not possible

Try printing the passed things

[neon folio]

alr

well if I print name, instance it just prints Handle which is the name and nil

[dense saffron]

And nil?

[neon folio]

which I don't understand since the part is LITERALLY on my screen

yeah

[dense saffron]

Can you show me the code

That fires

[neon folio]

sure

[dense saffron]

Oh

It's cuz it's being fired before the instance is created

Wait

Nevermind I just realized 💀

[neon folio]

I don't think local functions run until they're called though 😭

[loud hollow]

** You are now Level 10! **

[neon folio]

thanks mee6

[dense saffron]

Can I see the reciveing script

[neon folio]

alr

there is some stuff I don't think really matters in the script but here you go

the main problem in the repeat loop

where it'll never meet the conditions so the rest of the script never runs

😭

[dense saffron]

Lol

So

Handle is being fired as nil, right

[neon folio]

yeah

😦

but like it should exist on the server 😭

[dense saffron]

Right

That's really weird

[neon folio]

because if I put a print(instance) in the serverscript

it prints

completely fine

but when I fire it through the remote event

it's nil because the part hasn't replicated it yet

[dense saffron]

Idk if that's the problem

Try calling the fire function without task.delay

And on server event, add a task.wait(5) or something

Just to see if it ever gets replicated

Or if something else is causing this

[neon folio]

I mean

task.delay would work the same way as you're saying

but I got you

[dense saffron]

at this point u just gotta try everything ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neon folio]

yeah it works

both with task.delay

and task.wait(5) + HandleSpawn()

[dense saffron]

No I meant

[neon folio]

this replication problem is beating my ass man

[dense saffron]

Call it normally but add a wait in the recieving function

[neon folio]

the receiving function?

alr

[dense saffron]

Then instead of referencing the handle from the arguments, do print(workspace.Handle)

[dense saffron]

Yep

[neon folio]

well now it's stuck again

😭 what the hell is going on

[dense saffron]

Wdym

Comment out the repeat

I just wanna know if the handle ever gets replicated or if it's another issue

[neon folio]

without the repeat loop

it works? 😭

[dense saffron]

Yeah

It's just slow then

[neon folio]

yeah I know

[dense saffron]

Now try the same thing but only change the reference

Instead of workspace.Handle use the passed Handle

[neon folio]

it works

😄

i'll try removing the wait

[dense saffron]

With the wait 5?

[neon folio]

and see what happens

[dense saffron]

Oh

Ok

[neon folio]

😮

it works

that's all I needed? 😭

[dense saffron]

o

Is there a reason you use delay

Instead of calling normally

Try using spawn(function, false)

I don't remember if the second param is a number or bool

But 0 or false

[neon folio]

I was tryna see if it was firing the remote before handle existed

[dense saffron]

Was it?

[neon folio]

but now that I found the problem I shouldn't need task.delay or task.spawn

no

[dense saffron]

Oh

[neon folio]

it was ENTIRELY a replication problem

because when the client receives the remote Handle doesn't exist yet so it errors and ruins my day

[dense saffron]

Wait so then what was the real problem

💀

[neon folio]

the server was lil slow in replicating

💀

that was the entire problem

[dense saffron]

Lua is interpreted right?

How tf does that work

[neon folio]

there's delay when the server replicates the existence of a part

[dense saffron]

Well anyway glad it's fixed

[neon folio]

thanks bro

but the solution was so simple but it took multiple hours

😭

[dense saffron]

Yeah but I didn't think it would be that large

Np

[dense saffron]

Happens all the time lol

[neon folio]

it doesn't even have to be large it just has to be the slightest bit slower than the remote 😭

it was beating the shit out of me though

[dense saffron]

That's not what I meant

[neon folio]

Imma try to finish up this script and see if there's any more errors

[dense saffron]

But wtvr have fun 🥲

[neon folio]

ok

😭

nvm everything is going wrong again

[dense saffron]

yay

[neon folio]

man I give up

I just put task.delay for 0.05

and it works

I can't be totally accurate and proud of it anymore 😭

but

it works

[dense saffron]

Lol

[neon folio]

it's kinda slapped together but it works

[dense saffron]

Does calling it normally not work?

[neon folio]

I would have to add a task.wait for an appropriate amount of time

[dense saffron]

Why

No u dont

Don't bow to the compliers will

Make the compiler bow down to u

[neon folio]

I don't even know what to do

since server to client replication is based on the client's internet

so someone who is incredibly laggy might not get the replication in 0.05 seconds

😭

[dense saffron]

Yeah that's when you probably have to use something to wait for it

I can't think of something off the top of my head

[neon folio]

also I the repeat loop would not work

[dense saffron]

I can try when I get home but I'm not at my PC rn

[neon folio]

ok

the repeat loop would not work because the Handle parameter is nil when it is received, so all I'm doing is setting try == nil 😭

[dense saffron]

I don't understand how it's nil 🫥

But ok

U could serialize it

[neon folio]

what's serializing?

[dense saffron]

Idk it sounds cool

From what I know, it's making data into a Jason

Json

But idk how to

Let's ask the Roblox ai

[neon folio]

for me it just looks like turning info into a table

which can be then read and then turned back into it's original info

[dense saffron]

Yeah except it's characters instead of a table

I think
