Okay so basically i'm doing an Amaterasu script and it is for FE ,but when i get to the CFrame part it doesn't work

01--local script
02local deez = game.ReplicatedStorage.MyRemoteEvent
03local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer--find player
04local Character = Player.Character
05local debounce = true
06local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
07function relay()
08    local hit = Mouse.hit.p
09    local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
10    userInputService.InputBegan:connect(function(input, processed)
11    if Character.Head.Texture == "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=108227137" then
12        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
13            if debounce == true then
14                debounce = false
15                deez:FireServer("hit")
16                wait(15)
17                debounce = true
18            end
19         end   
20      end

The error is at the line Z.CFrame = hit but i can't figure out how to fix it. This is the output

`1`	`Workspace.Player1.Amaterasu:8: bad argument #3` `to` `'CFrame'` `(CFrame expected, got` `nil)`

Thanks in Advance. Yours Sincerely far.

I agree with @AstreaDev . You are carrying over the string "hit" into the place of the parameter hit in your OnServerEvent. You can't get a CFrame from a string which is why it is printing nil. You can use the first parameter "player" for their CFrame or carry the players CFrame over. yougottols1 420 — 8y

Your issue is that when you fire 'deez' you're passing "hit" which is a string type. In your server script for when 'deez' is fired you're doing:

`1`	`z.CFrame` `=` `hit`

hit is equal to that string you're passing that's "hit." Basically it's doing this:

`1`	`z.CFrame` `=` `"hit"`

A string is not a CFrame value. You need to do:

`1`	`deez:FireServer(CFRAME_VALUE)`

Read this to learn more about CFrames:

CFrame Wikipedia

Hope I helped :)

I still don't see why its wrong because hit is a CFrame Value is it a variable for Mouse.hit.p farrizbb 465 — 8y

Well, you see, in line 15 of the local script you're doing: deez:FireServer("hit"). If you want to pass the hit variable which is Mouse.hit.p you need to do: deez:FireServer(hit) AstrealDev 728 — 8y

`1`	`Okay, so, I didn't really know what you wanted to` `do` `exactly with this script. But, I got bored` `and` `decided to fix a couple errors` `in` `your script.`

Problem:

It seemed you were not connecting the function "relay" to any form ofevent or whatever. So I just used a tool's equipped event to solve this problem. You can change it back to how you like. You also didn't reference to the players "face" or the decal in the player's head which is what has the Texture--not the player's head alone. You also had something wrong with the uploading of your ParticleEmitter Texture Id. So, I just added a random one in there to substitute for it. Lastly, you had problems with the carrying over of the FireServer value so I just changed it from a string to mouse.Hit.p . In replace of the part's CFrame I just put it to the player's torso CFrame. You can change anything back how you like.

LocalScript:

01local deez = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")--Also changed the direction to get to the Remote event and renamed it.

16            if debounce == true then
17                debounce = false
18                deez:FireServer(Mouse.Hit.p)--Changed it just in case you wanted the mouse.Hit.p, this way the "hit" parameter will take that value.
