FireClient not working?

Asked by

Alright, for some odd reason the local script is not receiving the FireClient(). I have a regular script in the ServerScriptService which loads the stats, while there is a local script in the ServerStorage that is cloned into the client. In the local script, it never prints when the Client is Fired. Here is the ServerScriptService script:

view source
01local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02function Joined(player)
03local stats = game.ServerStorage.Stats:clone()
04stats.Parent = player
05local key = "user_" .. player.userId
06local a = DataStore:GetDataStore("Shillings")
07local b = DataStore:GetDataStore("Bank")
08Items = {}
09Stackable = {}
10Amount = {}
11local Income = 0
12local Rank = ""
13a:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
14    Shillings = oldValue or 0
15end)

Here is the local script, which is cloned:

view source
001local Stats = {
002    ["Shillings"] = 0,
003    ["Bank"] = 0,
004    ["Income"] = 0,
005    ["Rank"] = "",
006    ["Slot_1"] = {
007        ["Name"] = "None",
008        ["Stackable"] = false,
009        ["Amount"] = 0
010    },
011    ["Slot_2"] = {
012        ["Name"] = "None",
013        ["Stackable"] = false,
014        ["Amount"] = 0
015    },

Since the LocalScript is in ServerStorage, it's not printing anything because on the client-side, ServerStorage and ServerScriptService don't exist. You'll have to put the LocalScript in another location. I suggest putting it inside ReplicatedFirst to replicate it across all the clients

Basically, all things in it are replicated to all clients first before anything else. This is very useful for creating loading guis, tutorials, etc. itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

There's a tutorial that uses ReplicatedFirst in the ROBLOX Wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Custom_loading_screen itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

Is it fine if I put it in the Lighting? Decemus 141 — 8y

Lighting just puts it there. If you want the script to go to all clients automatically, then no. I would not recommend Lighting. itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

How would I make it so that the stats would be transferred to the script? Decemus 141 — 8y

I'm not so sure about that... itsJooJoo 195 — 8y

I would reccomend doing creating the server event in your script instead of adding physically

view source
1-- Inside Server Script
2local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") -- creates the event object
3event.Parent = game.Workspace -- puts the event into the Workspace, or wherever you want it
4event.Name = "MyServerEvent" -- giving a name to the event so we can fire it specifically elsewhere
5event.OnServerEvent:connect(function() -- define the function that will be called when the event is fired
6        -- this is where you put all the code you want to run when the event is fired
7    game.Workspace.Baseplate.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random() -- Something random//Put your code here
8end)

I would also put that at the start of your server script so that it dosen't create more that one

Then When you want to call that Event just do this when ever you want to fire the event

view source
1ame.Workspace.MyServerEvent:FireServer() -- Or wherever that event is located in your game
