How to use remote events/functions?

Asked 3,024 views1 answers

I have no real experience with either of these so any help is appreciated.

I have created scripts that work if filtering enabled is not on. I now need to rewrite them for filtering enable due to my game being exploited.

Here is what needs to happen in pseudo.

--[[
When the player clicks create a new part.
Set the parts CFrame to the part in the gun called main.
Give the part a parent.
Add the part to game service "debris" to be removed after 2 seconds.
Make the part black.
Scale the part to the smallest size possible.
Give the part a velocity.
When the part hits something check for a humanoid.
If the part finds a humanoid then get the player from character.
respawn the player who was hit.
Add 1 to the shooters kills.
Add 1 to the deaths of the player shot.
--]]

My attempts to do this with filtering enabled respawned the shooter, not the person who was shot.

I use respawn instead of killing the player because it is an airsoft game. Later when the player is hit it will play an animation then respawn the player.

So, you'll want a remote event to trigger in order to respawn a hit player. You can't do this on the client side (the LocalScript side), so you'll have to use a RemoteEvent object.

On the server, you'll take the RemoteEvent and give it the player respawn logic, like so:

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent --replace with wherever the RemoteEvent is
event.onServerEvent:connect(function(player, toRespawn)
	-- resppawn the player here
end)

Note that fact that you get the player that called the event automatically in the arguments.

On the client, you'll do this:

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent --replace with wherever the RemoteEvent is
--when the person is hit. The variable of the hit player is 'toRespawn'
event:FireServer(toRespawn)

Thanks this helped. Game now respawns the correct player. Now my only problem is that only the shooter can see that the gun is being fired.
