Why is my RemoteEvent not firing?
Howdy all!
I consider myself a slightly better than average scripter, but I'm completely stumped at this. I'm genuinely confused if I'm forgetting something. I've got a typical LocalScript that waits for a .touched event to run a :FireServer() on an event. I've attempted to print debug the script and it seems that the function runs UP TO the :FireServer().
Here's the local script that fires the server. The RemoteEvent is named "cleanEvent" and is located in the ReplicatedStorage.
01 | function onTouch(x) |
02 | print(x.Name) -- Checks out. |
03 | if x.Name == "SpillPart" then |
04 | print("Firing Event") -- Output: "Firing Event". |
05 | game.ReplicatedStorage.cleanEvent:FireServer(x) |
06 | elseif x.Name == "MessPart" then |
07 | print("Firing Event") -- Output: "Firing Event". |
08 | game.ReplicatedStorage.cleanEvent:FireServer(x) |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch) |
Here is the Script itself.
01 | game.ReplicatedStorage.cleanEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, Part) |
02 | print("Received Word") |
03 | if Part.Name == "MessPart" then |
04 | print("Categorized as Mess") -- No output recognized. |
05 | [Insert Rest of Script] |
06 | elseif Part.Name == "SpillPart" then |
07 | print("Categorized as Spill") -- No output recognized. |
08 | [Insert Rest of Script] |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
I appreciate any and all help! Thanks!

No error is registered, the `.OnServerEvent()` function is not fired. TaxesArentAwesome 514 — 5y

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"), it's part of the server, not the client so I don't believe they can access it through a local script without :GetService()? Not sure. KingDomas 153 — 5y

I've tested by making a variable with game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"). Same output. TaxesArentAwesome 514 — 5y

The error has been resolved by Discord. I had a while true do loop before the event declaration which halted it dead in its tracks. I've moved my loop below the event and it's working now.
