Why can't server Script find a part in Workspace?

Asked 80 views1 answers

I have a Tool called C4. When ever it explodes it sends a RemoteEvent called Explosion. Here is what it looks like:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Explosion:Connect(function (Player, HandleName)
	game.Workspace:WaitForChild(HandleName)
end)

Even though a Part named Handle exists in Workspace, it throws me this error:

Handle is not a valid member of Workspace "Workspace"

The only possible issue is that Handle is being created in a LocalScript.

Any Ideas?

When RemoteEvents are fired from the client, detect them from the server using onServerEvent. Like this:


game.ReplicatedStorage.Explosion.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, HandleName)
	game.Workspace:WaitForChild(HandleName)
end)

Furthermore, instances created from the Client cannot be seen by the Server, so you would have to create the Handle via a ServerScript
