Why am i getting FireClient errors when firing to enemy player?

Asked 234 views1 answers

Hello, I'm trying to make a script where once a player enters the hitbox, they will slow down and then create a ColorCorrection Effect. For the color correction i chose to go with a remote events that fires when a player hits the hitbox.

It kinda works, but i get spammed by errors in the console saying "FireClient: player argument must be a Player object"

The error will still occur even though the other player gets slowed down and gets applied with the color correction.

Any tips on how i could fix this? I'm trying to fire the remote for the enemy player and not my local player.

Part of Server Script

Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hitbox:IsA("BasePart") then
	if not Hit:IsDescendantOf(Char) then
		local enemy = Hit.Parent
		local enemyHumanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local enemyHumrp = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

spawn(function()
	local enemyPlr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(enemy)
	LightRemote:FireClient(enemyPlr)
end)

Fix your scripts, you're missing 'end' for some scopes.

That is not the issue. This is not the entire script, and i am not missing any end's

There's a good way to fix your problem.

Firstly, use print() to print the ClassName and Name of Hit.Parent:

print(Hit.Parent.ClassName, Hit.Parent.Name)

The reason I'm saying this is because, odds are, the part touching the hitbox is probably something else touching the hitbox that isn't the player. In that case you'd add a primary check to confirm that Hit.Parent is the player's Character:

if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) then

If this condition fails to pass it means whatever is touching the hitbox is not the player's Character.

Thank you. The print function returned the player and the players hair for some reason.
