Unable to fire a server remote event inside a module

[noble bolt]

I am trying to fire a remote event from a module in replicated storage but somehow the OnServerEvent does not catch the fired event.

Is there any reason to why the FireServer() does not work at all, and how do I fix this?

I am using a FireEvent() method because I couldn't knockback another player using the Bat:Knockback() and my first thought was that maybe because I was trying to manipulate another player on the client which is why linear velocity didn't move the targeted player.

the context of the module depends on where you call the function

if you call the activate function on server it wouldnt work since you cant fireserver on server

[noble bolt]

Don't know much about server client connections but the activate function is being called here, in a client script

[fickle portal]

did it print valid targeT?

[noble bolt]

Yes, it does print "Valid Target!" on the output

[fickle portal]

weird

[noble bolt]

Yeah, very confusing and frustrating.

If you've got any other suggestions I'd be happy to listen and thanks for trying to help me.

[fickle portal]

maybe try activating the bat on that localscript instead of the modulescript

Weapon:Activate() below it

see if it does something

[noble bolt]

This?

[fickle portal]

yea

[noble bolt]

Still no luck 😕

Gave the same results as the previous version:
Prints "Valid Target!" but does ignores Blah:FireServer()

[fickle portal]

is it even the same remote?

[noble bolt]

The module and the server script that catches the event both reference the same remote events:

Bat Module:
local Blah = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blah")

Blah Server Script (The server script that catches FireServer() events):
local Blah = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Blah")

[fickle portal]

try firing the event from client

[fickle portal]

welp

[noble bolt]

Yeah...

[fickle portal]

make it so the bat module return your target

so you can use it

there

Move your blah server script into ServerScriptStorage.

Script don't execute in replicatedstorage. You can call stored modules there and execute called code to them but regular scripts are inactive

ReplicatedStorage should only be used for storing and calling to assets/modules.

[noble bolt]

Blah server script was already in ServerScriptService

Tried what you suggested and for some unknown reason, it isn't firing the FireServer() event?

[fickle portal]

wdym

i thought it did

try printing target on server

[fickle portal]

also this is just misinformation, you can set the runcontext of a script to make it run there

[noble bolt]

The target exists, it prints the target and yet it still doesn't fire the FireServer() event

[onyx sandal]

does your Weapon:Activate() return someting

[noble bolt]

The onserverevent just has this code inside of it:
print("Hello World!") and yet this is the outcome

[noble bolt]

Yup, right here.

[fickle portal]

how come it fires here tho

[onyx sandal]

this

when you call activate does it return a value

[fickle portal]

do you not see the print from client

[noble bolt]

Oh I'm sorry I was figuring out if the server script was even active and wrote print("Hello.") on line 4

[noble bolt]

Yep and for some reason it doesn't fire the FireServer() event

[onyx sandal]

i dont see it return any value

[fickle portal]

that was before he changed it 😭

[noble bolt]

Oh that's an old screenshot

[fickle portal]

context matters

[onyx sandal]

can i see it bro

[fickle portal]

see this

[onyx sandal]

thats what ive been asking

[noble bolt]

Here you go

[onyx sandal]

r u passing target to server

last SS you're not sending anything

[fickle portal]

omg bro

[noble bolt]

Yes I'm trying to pass the target to the server because I can't manipulate Player2 in the client

[fickle portal]

read the whole thing

[noble bolt]

It's because I was testing it to see if it even works and it doesn't

[noble bolt]

It doesn't print "Hello World!" when I fire the FireServer() event (This image)

[noble bolt]

This is the output, no "Hello World!"

[onyx sandal]

how is it hooked up server wise

[fickle portal]

literally the first image of this post

[onyx sandal]

am blind

whoop

hmmmmmm

[noble bolt]

I have a server script that catches the FireServer() event named "Blah" inside ServerScriptService.

The new update of the module is that Bat:Activated() only returns the target.

The Tool:Activated() is written inside a local script and is the one trying to fire FireServer().
