How do you use a RemoteEvent? (Answered)
I am trying to make a boat in my game. When I press the buttons needed to use a function, it does nothing. In the local script:
local MoveEvent = script.Parent.RemoteEvent
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
uis.InputBegan:connect(function(Input)
local KeyCodeName = Input.KeyCode.Name
if KeyCodeName == "W" then
MoveEvent:FireServer("Forwards")
elseif KeyCodeName == "S" then
MoveEvent:FireServer("Backwards")
elseif KeyCodeName == "A" then
MoveEvent:FireServer("Left")
elseif KeyCodeName == "D" then
MoveEvent:FireServer("Right")
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:connect(function(Input)
local KeyCodeName = Input.KeyCode.Name
if KeyCodeName == "W" or "Up" or "S" or "Down" then
MoveEvent:FireServer("StopMove")
elseif KeyCodeName == "A" or "Left" or "D" or "Right" then
MoveEvent:FireServer("StopTurn")
end
end)
In the script:
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
print("hi")
end)
When I try to use it, It gives no errors

RemoteEvents go in ReplicatedStorage. The server connects to OnServerEvent and the first argument passed is the Player of the client who fired it.
Your other problem is in the if statements.
KeyCodeName == "W" or "Up" or "S" or "Down" does not mean what you think it means. There are four separate conditions being evaluated here, and if any one of them is true then the entire statement is true. These four are KeyCodeName == "W", which can vary, and "Up", "S", "Down" which are all true and cannot vary. What you mean to do is check if KeyCodeName is equal to any of those values, and not check if it is equal to "W" or some strings exist. In that case, write
if KeyCodeName=="W"or KeyCodeName=="Up"or KeyCodeName=="S"or KeyCodeName=="Down"then for that particular statement. The next statement has the same problem.
