my script is on a tower that gets cloned when placed, the script works fine but it just wont fire an event to the script local script that is also cloned under the script where the event is fired from
#Event not firing to client from server on cloned script
lone swan
@vagrant hound add in some prints, to make sure check attack is getting fired, and Target exists
vagrant hound

alright let me try
without any arguments i get an error
with just a player argument i still get nothing
let me change it to fireallclients and see if it makes a difference
vagrant hound

yup, still nothing
getting my target found print but the fire doesnt do anything
vagrant hound
in both scripts are you referancing the same remote event
let me check
Yes
yes i am

Is the top script server, and the bottom client yeah?
knotty citrus
in here in the
animateTowerEvent:FireClient(player, newTower, "Attack", target)
your inputting 3 actual argument and the player is who you are sending it to.
knotty citrus
However in here.
the function on the client wants 4 arguments. and since your referencing your player in this then just use the LocalPlayer and remove the player argument in this
vagrant hound

we tried removing all arguments and still nothing worked
knotty citrus
dont remove all arguments
vagrant hound
image 1 is server
image 2 is client
wait sorry
wrong way round
wait no im right
image 1 server
image 2 client
vagrant hound
dont remove all arguments
i reverted them
knotty citrus
Remove the "player" argument in the client script
and instead create a player variable
knotty citrus
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
for "FireAllClients" you dont need to specify which player your sending it to
knotty citrus
```lua
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPl...
this can be at the top of a local script
vagrant hound
for "FireAllClients" you dont need to specify which player your sending it to
im not sure which one would be better to do
should i use FireAllClients or FireClient
knotty citrus
depends on the context and what your making and so on
im guessing your making a tower defense game?
or something
vagrant hound
Tower Defence Game, and the scripts you were helping me with are inside of one of the towers and will be inside all of them
knotty citrus
if you can have multiple players in the same Match then FireAllClients as its more than 1 person
vagrant hound
okay i use fireallclients
so hold on
at the told i added the player variable
should i remove the player as a argument for my checkAttack.Event
knotty citrus
at the told i added the player variable
on the client/local script
vagrant hound
on the client/local script
i added on server script
the animateTowerEvent is being sent from server
knotty citrus
you cant access a "Local" player on server script
vagrant hound
so im confused what you want me to do?
you want me to remove the player argument on server side?
knotty citrus
in this client script.

.
knotty citrus
you want me to remove the player argument on server side?
yes
vagrant hound
okay okay
1 sec
i did that let me test
im still getting nothing on the the animateTowerEvent receive
heres an updated look at the scripts
knotty citrus
is CheckAttack actually firing. or can it just not find a target or "head" of the newtower
knotty citrus
because you should at least have "EVENT STARTED" from this one
knotty citrus
not sure then if it is finding the target and supposedly firing the event without any errors and the "print" statement isnt printing then im currently not sure
vagrant hound
im unsure to, it must not be firing the event, thats the only explanation
knotty citrus
where is the animateTowerEvent located
vagrant hound
ReplicatedStorage - RemoteEvents
knotty citrus
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.animateTowerEvent:FireAllClients(nil, "Attack", nil)
run that in the console
this bar thing
vagrant hound
no
knotty citrus
animateTowerEvent
knotty citrus
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.animateTowerEvent:FireAllClients(nil, "Attac...
then change it in here to the actual name
vagrant hound
the variable is animateTowerEvent and the name is "AnimateTower"
knotty citrus
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.AnimateTower:FireAllClients(nil, "Attack", nil)
vagrant hound
"FireAllClients can only be called from the server"
knotty citrus
make sure to be running/playing first and then switch over to server side
the one of the right here
click that
knotty citrus
not sure then. Just delete and re-add the remote or something atp then if you didnt even get a print statement out of that line of code ¯_(ツ)_/¯
vagrant hound
alright let me try
just to double check, a remote event crosses the server and client boundary?
knotty citrus
a remote event can be fired from the
Client -> Server
and
Server -> Client
