Help with ability system

[mystic vigil]

Im trying to make an ability system and already struggling with the first one. Im planning to make an ability that highlights all players for your client after clicking 1 and then you can choose one of the highlighted players and create their username above their head to everyone.

it doesnt send any errors and stops at the highlight part, help pls

yeah heres an idea: ChatGPT

jk lol

ask the bulit in AI assiant about ur code and when he does he might explain the part where you went wrong

[fast loom]

not a good idea

i wouldnt recommend people ai

actually

as long as you arent changing your code with ai

its not that bad

my bad

[vocal linden]

ik i was joking about chatgpt but i use the roblox ai to explain my code and it help me to see where i went wrong

[vocal linden]

i don't use AI for coding .lua

@fast loom i only use it to explain my code so i can figure out what points i went wrong at

If you want the client to have highlights for all players, why use OnServerEvent?

@mystic vigil

I’d just use some kind of script like a Module or BindableEvent to get the client sided highlights and then use a RemoteEvent to tell the server which player you are selecting

[fast loom]

the actual ability is on the server

the highlight is in the client

if you're already struggling with the first one then maybe you're biting off more than you can chew. try something a bit easier like a +1jump/sec or a button simulator or a monster in a maze

[weary patio]

The first :FireServer() you're sending in the activate ability function is redundant, and the second one is sending the players name instead of the actual player

No target player on FireServer
