FireClient not working?

Asked 110 views2 answers

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:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
function Joined(player)
local stats = game.ServerStorage.Stats:clone()
stats.Parent = player
local key = "user_" .. player.userId
local a = DataStore:GetDataStore("Shillings")
local b = DataStore:GetDataStore("Bank")
Items = {}
Stackable = {}
Amount = {}
local Income = 0
local Rank = ""
a:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
	Shillings = oldValue or 0
end)
b:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
	Bank = oldValue or 0
end)
for i=1,10 do
	local c = DataStore:GetDataStore("Item"..i)
	c:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
		table.insert(Items,i,oldValue or "None")
	end)
	local d = DataStore:GetDataStore("Stackable"..i)
	d:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
	table.insert(Stackable,i,oldValue or false)
	end)
	local e = DataStore:GetDataStore("Amount"..i)
	e:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
	table.insert(Amount,i,oldValue or 0)
	end)
end
if player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) == 0 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) == 0 and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) == 0 then
	Income = 10
	Rank = "Civilian"
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) and player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) then
		Rank = tostring(player:GetRoleInGroup(11141631))
		if player:GetRankInGroup(11141631)== 1 then
			Income = 10
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 1 and player:GetRankInGroup(11141631)<= 9 then
			Income = 100
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 9 and player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) <= 16 then
			Income = 250
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 16 and player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) <= 200 then
			Income = 500
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(11141631) > 200 then
			Income = 1000
		end
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) <= player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) then
			Rank = tostring(player:GetRoleInGroup(1079272))
			if player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) == 237 then
				Income = 10
			elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 237 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) <= 241 then
				Income = 100
			elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 241 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) <= 248 then
				Income = 250
			elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 248 and player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) <= 251 then
				Income = 500
			elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) > 251 then
				Income = 1000
				
			end
			
elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1114631) and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) >= player:GetRankInGroup(1079272) then
		Rank = tostring(player:GetRoleInGroup(1080391))
		if player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) == 1 then
			Income = 10
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) > 1 and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) <= 4 then
			Income = 100
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) > 4 and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) <= 8 then
			Income = 250
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) > 8 and player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) <= 9 then
			Income = 500
		elseif player:GetRankInGroup(1080391) > 9 then
			Income = 1000
		end
		end
repeat wait()
until #Amount == 10

player:WaitForChild("Stats").Main:FireClient(player,1,Shillings,Bank,Income,Rank,Items,Stackable,Amount)
print(player,1,Shillings,Bank,Income,Rank,Items,Stackable,Amount)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(Joined)

Here is the local script, which is cloned:

local Stats = {
	["Shillings"] = 0,
	["Bank"] = 0,
	["Income"] = 0,
	["Rank"] = "",
	["Slot_1"] = {

		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_2"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_3"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_4"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_5"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_6"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_7"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_8"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_9"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	},
	["Slot_10"] = {
		["Name"] = "None",
		["Stackable"] = false,
		["Amount"] = 0
	}
}

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.

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

Is it fine if I put it in the Lighting?

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

How would I make it so that the stats would be transferred to the script?

I'm not so sure about that...

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

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

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

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