How to use RemoteEvents, with FireServer?
Hey all! I'm a bit puzzled on how to use :FireServer(). No errors appear in the output, so I'm hoping You guys would be able to help. Thanks!
Local Script:
GUI = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
Frame = GUI.CitationsDB
Amount = Frame.Citation.Amount
Citee = GUI.Citee
Status = Frame.Status
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Max = 250
RE = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("CitationScript"):WaitForChild("Event")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
if not game.Players:findFirstChild(Citee.Value) then
Status.Text = "PLAYER NOT FOUND!"
wait(3)
Status.Text = ""
else
local Victim = game.Players:findFirstChild(Citee.Value)
if not tonumber(Amount.Text) then
Status.Text = "INVALID AMOUNT"
wait(3)
Status.Text = ""
else
if (tonumber(Amount.Text) > Max) then
Amount.Text = 250
end
local Response = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.rFunction:InvokeServer("Subtract",(tonumber(Amount.Text)),Victim.Name)
print(Response)
if Response == "Transaction Completed." then
Status.Text = "CITATION COMPLETED!"
wait(3)
Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,-160,-1,-100),'Out','Quad',0.35)
RE:FireServer(Player, Victim.Name, Amount.Parent.Reason.Text)
wait(1)
GUI:Destroy()
else
Status.Text = "PLAYER DOESN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS!"
wait(3)
Status.Text = ""
end
end
end
end)
script:
RE = script:WaitForChild("Event")
RE.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Player, Victim, Reason)
if game.Players:findFirstChild(Victim) then
local vic = game.Players:findFirstChild(Victim)
game.Lighting.CitationNotif:clone().Parent = game.Players:findFirstChild(Victim).PlayerGui
local GGUI = game.Players:findFirstChild(Victim).PlayerGui.CitationNotif
GGUI.CitationNotif.Title.Text = Player.Name.." is charging you for '"..Reason.."'."
GGUI.CitationNotif:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,-160,-0.5,-100),'Out','Quad',0.35)
end
end)

I'd recommend putting print is several lines of code see where it stops. Question though, do you have a script handling invocations to rFunction, the code on line 25? Otherwise the script will just sit there. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

When you use :FireServer, the player instance is automatically the first argument of .OnServerEvent, so you don't need to provide one in the local script, else you'll return 4 arguments instead of 3. Redbullusa 1580 — 9y

If you were to add a print statement right in your listener function to print the arguments (Player, Victim, Reason) .. Victim would print in the place of Player, and Reason in the place of Victim... leaving "Reason" a nil argument.
Why..? Because the player argument is automatically passed as first argument when firing RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions from the client. Therefore, all you really need to do is pass the arguments following it.
In your code, RE:FireServer(Player, Victim.Name, Amount.Parent.Reason.Text) would be RE:FireServer(Victim.Name, Amount.Parent.Reason.Text)
