[SOLVED] Server script not detecting remote event?
I'm trying to create a script that inserts a billboard GUI into a character's head and destroys the GUI when it receives a server event. But, the server script that I'm using to destroy the billboard GUI isn't detecting it. I've used print statements to try and debug this and it appears that the .OnServerEvent connection isn't firing at all.
If anyone could help at all, it would be great. Cheers.
Local Script:
local oocGUI = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('oocGUI')
local rEvent = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('OOCEvent')
local ooc = false
local player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local debounce = false
local RESET_SECS = 2
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if not ooc then
if not debounce then
debounce = true
ooc = true
print('ooc Variable set to True')
local cloneOOC = oocGUI:Clone()
print('Clone made')
cloneOOC.Parent = char.Head
print('Clone parent set to character head')
wait(RESET_SECS)
debounce = false
end
else
ooc = false
print('ooc variable set to False')
rEvent:FireServer()
print('RemoteEvent fired')
end
end)
Script:
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local rEvent = RS:WaitForChild('OOCEvent')
local textLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel
local gui = script.Parent
rEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
print('Event received')
if gui.Parent.Name == "Head" then
gui:Destroy()
end
end)

Are you ever setting the ooc variable in your local script to true? Because this should definitely be working if you do. Rinpix 639 — 2y

Yeah, on Line 24 the ooc variable is being set to true. MendozaHM3SBulldog 32 — 2y

using :Clone() on the client won't copy server scripts. thus the script is not copied into the billboard gui, if you are creating the gui on client, why not destroy it on client too? imKirda 4491 — 2y

Found out I could do it by just using a handler to insert the GUI and destroy it when a serverEvent is called. Sharing code for others who are trying to do this.
Local Script:
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local oocEvent = RS.OOC:FindFirstChild('oocEvent')
local handlerEvent = RS.OOC:FindFirstChild('OOCHandler')
local playerService = game:GetService('Players')
local player = playerService.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local debounce = false
local resetSECS = 2
local ooc = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if not ooc then
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
ooc = true
handlerEvent:FireServer()
wait(resetSECS)
debounce = false
else
ooc = false
oocEvent:FireServer()
end
end)
Handler:
-- OOC Variable(s)
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local OOC_Handler_Event = RS.OOC:WaitForChild('OOCHandler')
local OOC_Event = RS.OOC:WaitForChild('oocEvent')
local OOC_GUI = RS:WaitForChild('oocGUI')
-- OOC Handler Event(s)
OOC_Handler_Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
local clone = OOC_GUI:Clone()
clone.Parent = plr.Character.Head
local char = plr.Character
for _,v in ipairs(char:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Part") then
if v.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
v.Transparency = 1
else
v.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
end
for _,v in ipairs(char.Humanoid:GetAccessories()) do
if v:IsA("Accessory") then
for _,m in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
if m.Name == "Handle" then
m.Transparency = .5
end
end
end
end
end)
OOC_Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Character.Head.oocGUI:Destroy()
local char = plr.Character
for _,v in ipairs(char:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Part") then
if v.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
v.Transparency = 1
else
v.Transparency = 0
end
end
end
for _,v in ipairs(char.Humanoid:GetAccessories()) do
if v:IsA("Accessory") then
for _,m in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
if m.Name == "Handle" then
m.Transparency = 0
end
end
end
end
end)
