How can I find the humanoid on a server sided script, after firing an event from a local script?

Asked 402 views1 answers

As the title states: I am trying to find out how can I find the player's humanoid on a server sided script?

I want to change the WalkSpeed and the JumpPower of the player that fired the event.

My script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.DialogEnd.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.DialogEnd.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(character)
	
	
		player.character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		player.character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50

	end)
	end)

P.S. Still learning how to code, so apologies about my rookie mistakes.

That should be correct unless you didnt set a parameter to player in the local script

also why do you have two OnServerEvent for the same RemoteEvent?

Oh 'cuz I'm tryin' to find the player, then the character of the player, then the humanoid of the player's character, if that makes any sense. :)

see if this helps you out

game.ReplicatedStorage.DialogEnd.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
        player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end)

the remote event ONLY pass the player instance, not the character instance, unless the local script pass the char through a second argument

something like this

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character

game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("DialogEnd"):FireServer(char) -- always use find first child when firing a remote event that's not a descendant of the local script

then this:

game.ReplicatedStorage.DialogEnd.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,char)
        char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        char.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end)

would work, because you're now passing the character argument through the local script, see more about remote events at: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/RemoteEvent

hope this helps
