Hey,
I have a LocalScript which uses
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
However I'm firing a remote event and the server script doesn't allow LocalPlayer.
How can I get the same result within the server script so that I can make changes to humanoid when I fire the server?
Thanks
If you fire a remote event from the client to the server, the first argument is automatically set to the player that fired the event. For example:
Local script:
remote:FireServer()
Server Script:
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
--plr will be the player who fired
local humanoid = plr.Character.Humanoid
end)
oh my gosh, I'm an idiot. I was doing plr.Humanoid and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Thank you very much Mattscy :)
If you want to get a reference to a player when they join the game in a server Script, you can do so like this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name.." has joined the game")
-- Let's modify the character each time the player spawns
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- This function will run as soon as the character model is available
-- Sometimes, it runs before the body parts have been added to the
-- character model, so we need to :WaitForChild("Head") instead
-- of just index .Head to avoid a nil reference.
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
-- This color change will be visible to everyone
head.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
end)
end)

You can just make changes through the local script, I just did it and it works...
But it only makes the changes locally. If I log on my Son's account on the other laptop I can't see the effects on his character but he can and vice versa, I can't see the effects on my character from the other screen. It needs to be done through the server script
