Hello so i'm trying to Instance serversided parts from a localscript using a remoteevent and i keep getting this error.
local function instance(a,b)
if b then
return game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Instance:FireServer(a,b)
elseif not b then
return game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Instance:FireServer(a)
end
end
local cool = instance("Part", workspace)
print(cool) -- Supposed to print part name but prints nil instead
Anyway to fix this?
theres a few problems.
don't use the parent parameter for instance.new, its slow. (only set the parent param if you aren't gonna change any other properties. Otherwise, set the parent property last)
(main problem). you aren't returning the part you instance.new()ed in the server, therefore its not working.
to fix 2, you need to use a remotefunction instead of a remoteevent.
here is the fixed script:
local script
-- local script
function instance(a,b)
if b then
return game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Instance"):InvokeServer(a,b)
elseif not b then
return game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").WaitForChild("Instance"):InvokeServer(a)
end
end
local cool = instance("Part") -- don't use the parent parameter, its bad. check dev forum to know why
cool.Name = "lol"
print(cool.Name) -- Instances are not strings bruv, should print lol because I set the name to "lol"
server script
-- server script
local RF = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Instance")
RF.OnServerInvoke = function(class:string, parent) -- yes you can do this now
local newPart = Instance.new(class)
if parent and parent:IsA("Instance") then
newPart.Parent = parent
end
return newPart -- this part you are missing
end
Thank you so much, u saved me so much time

I feel like this can be exploited
