How do I make blinkers on a car work in FE?
I have tried converting the car to FE, but am stuck on the blinkers. Yes, I am using a RemoteEvent and I do know how FE works. All of the ways I have tried do not seem to work. When a user goes into and uses the car, the blinkers are controlled from a LocalScript which is placed in the users PlayerGui. The blinkers are consisted of spotlights as well as surface GUI's, they blinkers are placed into the workspace. Where would I place the remote event, to trigger the blinker, and where would I place the script that waits for the remote event to be fired? Here is the code in the localscript that would typically fire the remote event.
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
player:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "E" then
turn() --this fires a function which was used before, when the car was not FE and works fine still
--Here I would place the code to :FireServer() on the remoteevent
end
end)
--there is more to this script, this is only a portion

This will be kind of hard to explain with the little context given but; place the RemoteEvent into the CARMODEL IN WORKSPACE. Your local script should look like:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local car = --You need to put a object connecting to the car here
player:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "E" then
-- Fire the event
car.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end
end)
Now in the car there should be a server script with the following code:
local car = --You need to put a object connecting to the car here
local blinkers = false
-- Output of the event from client
car.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)
-- This toggles the blinkers
blinkers = not blinkers
if blinkers then
-- Code to turn on blinkers
else
-- Code to turn them off
end
end)
You say you've got a good knowledge of FE so I'm guessing that you know what most of these means. However this is some simple stuff so I would recommend checking out http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Remote_Events_and_Functions for extra help :)
