Remote Event Firing 3 times upon activation (one trigger)

[topaz kindle]

this is the attempted fixed version of the client side sending to remote event

if not alreadyConnected then
    alreadyConnected = true

    UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and db == false then
            blocking = true
            blockstart:Play()
            blockhold:Play()
            game.ReplicatedStorage.BlockEvent:FireServer()
        end
    end)

    UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
            blocking = false
            blockstarted = false
            blockhold:Stop()
            blockend:Play()
            game.ReplicatedStorage.UnblockEvent:FireServer()
        end
    end)
end

and this is the server side remote event

game.ReplicatedStorage.BlockEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    print("Blocking")
    plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 2
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.UnblockEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    print("Unblocking")
    plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

[topaz monolith]

what exacly u get printed

blocking blocking unblocking?

[topaz kindle]

can you elaborate, im half asleep right now, even while writing the code

[topaz monolith]

on the server you print stuff when it gets fired

what do u get printed?

i wanna tell which prints how many times

[topaz kindle]

Blocking x3
Unblocking x3

[topaz monolith]

oh like that

would u be able to share whole code?

id believe youre connecting few times somehow

[topaz kindle]

yes, allow me a moment to reboot studio

actually well

[dusky cairn]

** You are now Level 3! **

[topaz kindle]

it'd have to be in a file

because its well over 2k chars long

(its the entire combat client)

[topaz monolith]

uh

maybe ss?

would be easier

if u can fit larger amount of code

[topaz kindle]

client sided

server sided

the reason why there is a hold block thing, is i was trying to make a hold and toggle option for it

and then thats when i noticed the problem, and even when i deleted all of the toggle code, it still persisted

which absolutely dumbfounded me

[topaz monolith]

its very weird

but i noticed that

please use task.spawn

not just spawn

🙏

[topaz kindle]

can you tell me the difference between the two?

[simple karma]

one is deprecated

[topaz monolith]

i believe spawn isnt supposed to be used to

yea

i cant ever spell that

just like wait vs task.wait

[topaz kindle]

same result

[topaz monolith]

yea it wont fix that just better if you use

[topaz kindle]

i see

[topaz monolith]

would u maybe try printing anything when inputbegin

or smth?

cuz its very weird

[simple karma]

just use new ias icl

[topaz monolith]

yup prob better

i cant rly help with that tho, didnt give it a try yet

[simple karma]

my blocking on ias works fine

[topaz kindle]

this is what i changed just now, and here is the result WHAT THE FUCK ITS DOING IT ON ITS OWN

oh wait

no

i messed it up

one sec

[ruby drum]

.

[topaz kindle]

hey you accidentally put stuff on the wrong line sometimes too

[simple karma]

because its before keycode check

[topaz kindle]

I KNOWWW 😭

okay i jhust change dit

[simple karma]

also

i dont see u defining

alreadyblocking variable

ur defining it after the conditional

the first check would be nil so it would continue

[topaz kindle]

i have them all up here

[simple karma]

just try defining it if it helps

[topaz monolith]

u sure u dont like somehow got the same code in 3 diffrent scripts?

[simple karma]

not alreadyconnected

[topaz kindle]

defined it just now, same result

[topaz kindle]

theres only 2 scripts in this game so far

[topaz monolith]

at this point rename remote and pray that was the issue

that other script was using it

🙏

[topaz kindle]

ai tells me nothigns wrong with it

othe rpeople tell me nothings wrong with it

do i need an excorsism

or something

[topaz monolith]

i was about to say that

lmao

[simple karma]

yeah uhh

[topaz monolith]

try renaming remote

[simple karma]

try removing thr conditional

[topaz monolith]

or i can get u chat gpt ah code that should tell u where fire server was called from

to see if other is firing it

[topaz kindle]

okay so

[simple karma]

doesnt seem like ur using thr var anyway

[topaz kindle]

iu didnt change anything

and

now its working as intended

i am beyond confused

[topaz monolith]

roblox studio moment

[topaz kindle]

i am beyond confused

what the fuck

i didnt change anything

[topaz monolith]

dont question it before it breaks

do u have potato by any chance

as in pc

[topaz kindle]

no

[topaz monolith]

aw

[topaz kindle]

big beefy pc

[jovial flint]

new IAS is pretty good btw

[topaz kindle]

i have no idea what that is

[topaz monolith]

i thought maybe studio didnt shut down correctly somehow

[topaz monolith]

new user input thing

[simple karma]

input action system

[topaz monolith]

that sums up all devices

[simple karma]

beta feature

[topaz kindle]

oohh okay

ill give it a shiot

[simple karma]

no

[topaz monolith]

wa

[simple karma]

also

[topaz kindle]

also, another question on the server side of thing since this now magically works

[simple karma]

instead of defining all the animations manually one by one

put them into a table and iterate over it

will be easier

[topaz kindle]

i see

[simple karma]

what

[topaz kindle]

probably dumb question, but im sleep deprivated as hell right now and cant think 100% properly

since im making a block system, i need it to recognize that

the other player is blocking

how can i do that

[simple karma]

give attribute

[jovial flint]

Make a state machine?

[dusky cairn]

** You are now Level 2! **

[topaz monolith]

keep table of

[simple karma]

check if blocking

[topaz monolith]

blocking[player] = bool

[simple karma]

or that

or just

get a state machine

[topaz kindle]

what is a state machine?

[simple karma]

manages player states

like blocking ragdolled

but for i

for u

just use attributes

since ur new to this

[topaz kindle]

thats what i thought of originally

[simple karma]

refine ur code and use a state machine later

[jovial flint]

Worth learning state machines though, will come in handy later down the line

[simple karma]

after ur done

wow really

[topaz kindle]

this is done with a local script, right? or am i thinking of something different

[dusky cairn]

** You are now Level 4! **

[simple karma]

server

[topaz kindle]

can you give me a quick example?

[simple karma]

for

initializing arteibute

attribute?

[topaz kindle]

yes

[simple karma]

im on phone buthere

local attributes = {“Blocking” = false}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect:function(Player: Player)
for name, value in attributes do
Player:SetAttribute(name, value)
end
print(‘initialized all attributes for {Player.Name}’)
end)

[topaz kindle]

and then this would apply to every player that is joining, and i'd use the client side script to trigger the remote event to make it true?

[simple karma]

yes

yes

[topaz kindle]

got it

[simple karma]

u should

[topaz kindle]

i apprecaite it

[simple karma]

learn module loaders

theyre easy and clean

good if u learn them early on

[topaz kindle]

ill take a look at it right now

i think i need to go to bed 😭

[simple karma]

wonderful

[topaz kindle]

okay so for these attributes

where can i access and reference them for later use

if its like this wouldnt it just be like this

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect:function(Player: Player)
  Player:SetAttribute(IsBlocking, true)
if Player.IsBlocking == true then
  print("placeholder")```

or would it be under a different directory

(i would check this right now, but im not on my pc)

[simple karma]

you cant index attributes with dot operator

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/attributes-now-available/1066934

also when u do getattribute in a variable

and the attribute value changes

variable doesnt

[topaz kindle]

so how DO i index it?

[topaz kindle]

i see

[simple karma]

i just sent you a link

[topaz kindle]

right, ny bad

im gonna put all this in a folder and read it when my brain isn't running off of 4 mountain dews and a dream
