LocalScript not receiving remoteEvent from Script?
So I am trying to make an intermission script but for some reason, the countdown doesn't start. This is the server script.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if Intermission.NewServer.Value == true then
if Intermission.Timer:WaitForChild("LocalScript") then
Intermission.NewServer.Value = false
Intermission.Timer.Value = 30
Intermission.IntermissionStart:FireAllClients()
end
end
end)
And the local script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Intermission.IntermissionStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
for Timer = 30, 0, -1 do
script.Parent.Timer.Value = script.Parent.Timer.Value - 1
wait(1)
end
end)

The FireAllClients function fires the RemoteEvent. OnClientEvent event for each client. ... Instead it will fire to all clients who have the same remote event connected to an OnClientEvent event. Since this function is used to communicate from the server to the client, it will only work when used in a Script . MattVSNNL 620 — 3y

The clients take longer than the server to load in, consider finding alternative methods or using the perfect solution by @imKirda down below. KadenBloxYT 135 — 3y

PlayerAdded fires before the client even loads so the event is firing but the client and all the local scripts are not yet loaded thus they can't receive the signal.
Your solution would be instead of using PlayerAdded function, create new RemoteEvent and call it PlayerAdded and on client, when your local script runs, fire signal from the remote event to server that the client has loaded. That way you can be sure that client is loaded. Something like this:
Client
local Loaded = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').LoadedRemoteEvent -- your event
... some local code here
Loaded:FireServer()
--/Fires at the end of script and replaces PlayerAdded
Server
--/Same event from the local script code
local PlayerAdded = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').LoadedRemoteEvent
PlayerAdded.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Client)
print(Client) -- prints TheReverseGaming
... your script would be here
end

Ok I will try. TheReverseGaming 29 — 3y
