hitbox created by my attack system dosent appear in the server (code included)

[long wing]

i know it has something to do with it being in a local script but i cant use serverscripts because this type of thing needs to be in startercharacter scripts, which dosent work with serverscripts.

lemme screenshot the code hold on

but yea i made this and the hitbox created wont transfer to the client

server*

lemme send a vid

Are you familiar with the server-client model?

[long wing]

not rly

can stuff from the client like

be parented to the server or something?

Use remote events

[tawny phoenix]

make the hitbox part in a server script in sss and animation and input as a local in sps and just use a remote event

[long wing]

so make a remoteevent that is triggered by a localscript, then the serverscript is triggered by the remote event?

also where should i put the remote event?

ok, i figured out how to make the localscript attack cause an effect on the server with a remoteevent

but

how can i make the remote event spawn the hitbox at the attacker's position if it cant figure out who the attacker is

cuz the value for who the attacker is
is in the localscript

[iron plover]

local scripts are on the client, and anything done on the client will only be shown for the player. While things done on the server are replicated to all other clients/players

For client sided hitboxes, you should send the information that the hitbox gets to the server and validate it from there

[long wing]

so if a localscript triggers a remote event, does the serverscript that senses the remoteevent getting trigger just know all the variables from the localcsript or something like that?

idk how else i would send that info

[iron plover]

are you familiar with arguments and parameters?

[long wing]

uh

not rly

[long wing]

ok

also while i watch those i will send u the code i have rn so u can understand it cuz maybe ive been explaining it weirdly

[iron plover]

No it doesn't work like that

[iron plover]

You must manually send specific data

[long wing]

oh

so there is a way to manually send data from a local script to a server script via remoteevents?

ok

im watching the video still to figure it out

oooh shoot

it will automatically define the player that triggered the event

and then i can use it to get the character

i understand it now

ok

i made the hitbox appear to the server now

and i will continute to watch those tutorials
