FE help required!? (Firing from server)

Asked 298 views1 answers

I'm attempting to learn Filtering Enabled currently. I am having issues in disabling player controls from the server.

This is in the server:

Player.Backpack.Controls.DisableControls:FireClient()

(All defined correctly)

And this is in the client:

local Player = script.Parent.Parent
DisableControls = script:WaitForChild("DisableControls")
DisableControls.OnClientEvent:connect(function()
	Player.PlayerScripts.ControlScript.Disabled = true
end)

The issue seems to be with firing it from the server as I get an output of "Argument 1 missing or nil". How would I got about fixing this?

Thank you!

You have to pass in the player as an argument to the FireClient call. Player.Backpack.Controls.DisableControls:FireClient(Player)

If you are using FireClient (in the server script), then who do you want to fire the event to? You MUST mention the player to fire as the first argument.

Player.Backpack.Controls.DisableControls:FireClient(game.Players.PLAYERNAME) -- This will fire to a certain client.

OH! Also, if you are attempting to fire the event to ALL the players, then use FireAllClients. This will fire the event to all the clients (players).

Player.Backpack.Controls.DisableControls:FireAllClients() -- Fires to ALL clients, the arguments vary on the listener (LocalScript).

That's all I can tell you when using RemoteEvents.

If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below. Thank you and I hope this will help you.
