why is this print statement delayed after it fires an event | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

f

#

#

just prints m1 attack all the time

#

but barely works

#

on server side

#

(tested on rigs and players both barely work)

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

don't check for hitboxes on the client in general becaus im pretty sure exploiters could just fire your remote even with a player of their choice without even hitting them

#

and they can also just get rid of the "humsHit[v.Parent.Name] = true" for example

#

so people would pretty much just get one shot

#

So its best if you validate everything on the server so that exploiters can't just spamm your remote event and one shot other players without even beeing near them

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

i just did this instead

#

#

this alr?

#

nvm i broke the entire thing

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

just do the local createHitbox = workspace:GetPartsBoundsInBox(hitboxCFrame, Hitbox.Size) inside the server

yeah i thought that too ngl

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

did it work?

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:17 AM

#

just gotta wait for my roblox studio to loaddd

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:17 AM

#

💔

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:18 AM

#

yeah its been running rlly slow recently

#

for no reason

#

it didnt work

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:18 AM

#

can i see your full code of both scripts?

#

or i could also show you how i handel hitboxes with GetPartBoundsInBox

#

you decide

studio ** You are now Level 12! ** studio

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:21 AM

#

#

#

#

last one is server side obviously

#

rest is local

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:23 AM

#

so what exactly doesn't work again?

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

barely fires the event

#

from client to server

#

well now it just doesnt fire anymore btw

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

hm so it has to do something with your M1DB.
First of all i would do the whole M1Counter and M1DB on the server as well because exploiters can still spam m1 then.
Then I would check when exactly your DB is false or true by printing when you change it in your code and when you m1 overall.

#

so then you can see the last time it was set to true and change the code accordingly or find the mistake faster

uncut talon Nov 22, 2025, 9:32 AM

#

Tip : Server barely use waitforchild

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

m1counter is the amount of times you m1 before it resets

#

if its ont he server wouldnt it affect everyone

#

and the m1db

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

And the solution for that are tables

#

you store the m1db of a player inside a table

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

so like

#

attributes

#

or sum

#

OH

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

i'll show you an example

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

ok i see what youre saying

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

alr

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

so like when a player joins it just sets their stuff to blah blah n stuff

#

i hope thats what it is ngl

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

nah it doesn't have to be that complex you can also just make a table

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

send an example to me so i can just

#

learn

#

n stuff

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:37 AM

#

#

This is how it would look like for example

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

so is the M1 counter also a table?

#

or somethin

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

Basicly

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

mm ok

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

You just have to store the m1 number instead of a boolean value then

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

i just did something like M1Counter[player]<4 and stuff

#

now my uis localscript thing is just fire server

#

peak

#

local RS=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Remotes=RS:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local Animations=RS:WaitForChild("Animations")

local M1AttackRemote=Remotes:WaitForChild("M1Attack")

local PLRS=game:GetService("Players")

local M1DB={}

local M1Counter={}

local TIME_TILL_RESET=1.5

local function M1Time(player : Player,Time, M1Animation)
    task.wait(M1Animation.Length + Time)

    M1DB[player]=false

    task.spawn(function()
        local OLDM1=M1Counter[player]
        task.wait(TIME_TILL_RESET)
        if OLDM1==M1Counter[player] then
            M1Counter[player]=0
        end
    end)
end

M1AttackRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    if M1DB[player] then return end
    local hitboxCFrame=player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-4)
    local hitboxSize=Vector3.new(6,6,6)

    local createHitbox=workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitboxCFrame,hitboxSize)
    local hum=player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    
    local M1=Animations:WaitForChild("M1")
    local M1Animation=hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(M1)
    
    local humsHit={}

    for i, v in pairs(createHitbox) do
        if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not humsHit[v.Parent.Name] and v.Parent ~= player.Character then
            humsHit[v.Parent.Name]=true
            
            v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(10)
        end
    end
    
    if M1Counter[player]<4 then
        M1Time(player, 0.35, M1Animation)
    elseif M1Counter[player]==4 then
        M1Time(player, 0.7, M1Animation)
        M1Counter[player]=0
    end
end)``` server side

#

still doesnt work, def the local side then

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:48 AM

#

so does it just not work or does it not fire the remote event?

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

i did this for debugging purposes the for loop doesnt even print anything

#

nvm it does something now

#

just gotta test the input2 userinput type and see what it says n stuff

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:52 AM

#

so it detects input but it doesn't fire the server?

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:52 AM

#

what ??

#

oh its keys

#

uhhhhhhh

#

ok i gotta refix

#

i fixed it it works just gotta test out the table stuff

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

alr

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

tropic orbit ```lua local RS=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") local Remotes=RS:WaitForCh...

you also have to make an other table for OLDM1

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

huh

#

im ngl how do you detect a table of all the inputs

#

including keyboard and mouse

#

and other things

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

what exactly do you mean by detect a table of all inputs

#

what do you want to detect for example

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

wait nvm i think i got it just gottta test it out

#

i was thinking of something like

#

Enum.UserInputType:GetEnumItems()

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:59 AM

#

tropic orbit huh

you have to make sure its a table by writing local OLDM1 = {} as well

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 9:59 AM

#

tropic orbit Enum.UserInputType:GetEnumItems()

i see

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

like this?

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

almost just place the local OLDM1 outside of the function just like you did with M1DB and M1Counter

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

this looks like it'll work

#

wait thats just doing the same thing

#

ma

#

man

#

you know how like uis has keyboard mouse and other sorts of things

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
if IsTyping then return end
if Input.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then return end
M1RE:FireServer()
end)

maybe try this?

#

yea

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

ok nvm ill just try that solution

#

ok anyways

#

you know how inputs can be just separate

#

what happens if you do something like

#

pressing a while clicking

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

then it should also fire the event which detects if the player m1ed

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

oh

#

yay now local side works

#

with your provided script

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

gud

#

what about server side?

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

So what is not firing? Because after copying your code it worked fine for me (only the local side)

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

no clue why it isnt working

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:20 AM

#

Are you really sure that the event does not get fired?

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:22 AM

#

yes because when i click i put a print statement in the onserverevent before the return end thing and it doesnt work

#

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:23 AM

#

So i only have 2 more ideas

#

First idea is removing all the WaitForChild() functions when refercing your replicated storage and your remote event because they are already replicated the moment your character loads in

#

2nd idea is checking if your RemoteEvents i really called M1Attack

#

If that won't help you then im out of ideas

tropic orbit Nov 22, 2025, 10:25 AM

#

ok nevermind it FIRES but it waits a few seconds

cedar cobalt Nov 22, 2025, 10:25 AM

okay...

#

thats good

#

or better

why is this print statement delayed after it fires an event

coz you got too much crap open

10 browser windows with 100k tabs each consumes a lot of ram y'know

in fact probably only reason you have 4.5gb is because the other processes are trying to conserve memory to make space for studio
