Why is it affecting everyone?

Asked 161 views1 answers

So I've got a part in my game, that when touched will trigger a script, that triggers a remote event, which in turn triggers a second localscript that disables the players controls.

'Touched Part?' script:

local disableControlsRE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("DisableControls")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
		disableControlsRE:FireAllClients()
		
	end
end)

^^^ This script triggers a RemoteEvent which triggers the following localscript:

local disableControlsRE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("DisableControls")

disableControlsRE.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(hit)

	local PlayerModule = require(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts"):WaitForChild("PlayerModule"))
	
	local controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()
	
end)

It works perfectly well, and does it's job, however it appears to be happening to everyone and not just the triggering Player, does anyone have any tips, solutions or help please?

Of course it will trigger to every player in the game. Your code says it itself.

local disableControlsRE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("DisableControls")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayersFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

        -- disableControlsRE:FireAllClients() -- FireAllClients fires the remote event to (every single player in the game.)

	disableControlsRE:FireClient(player) -- This is what you need. You pass the player that touched the brick.

    end
end)

There you go. Hope it helps

thank you, sorry I didn't see that, I'm fairly new so I didn't realise "FireAllClients()" fired everyone :thumbsup:
