Why cant i read/edit anything in a character in FE?

Asked 294 views1 answers

I thought i knew most of FE clearly but now i just don't know. 

-- server script in player's character
local Force = (((script.Parent.Head.Neck.C0.lookVector.Y*10)^3)/10)-50
script.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = (60/(Force*-1))*30

basically my server script keeps returning "Force" to be -50 no matter what: 

"script.Parent.Head.Neck.C0.lookVector.Y"

,is equal to. This is only a problem in FE so my best guess is that: 

"script.Parent.Head.Neck.C0.lookVector.Y"

, is always returning as 0 in FE.

is this correct and i need to put this script in to a local script and parent it to the player?

Because that's what it's supposed to do. Filtering Enabled filters out Client code and tampering from the Server to prevent exploiters. Unless it's firing a RemoteEvent or RemoteFunction that exists in the Server, it will not replicate. Period.

Does a server script in a players character count as client code? if so do i fire a server event from the character's server script to be received by a server script inside ServerScriptStorage? Char187

That would still be server code. If you want to fire to another server script, use a BindableEvent.

Server scripts never runs on clients.

Uhm, I don't get your comments because


wait(5)

while true do
	print("local: "..workspace.Nonaz_jr.Head.Neck.C0.lookVector.Y)
	wait(0.3)
end

I don't think this script should ever print anything but 0. Neck is a 6D motor, the attachment offset C0 should not change, and neither should it's lookvector.

This should not need to be in a localscript. I don't see what you are trying to do either, as the Y component of the neck's C0 frame is supposed to give you what? Sorry, I don't understand but I don't think this should be done trough a remote event.

Did you change anything when you moved it to a local script?

Does 

script.Parent.Head.Neck.C0.lookVector.Y

output something else than 0 in your localscript??

So I tested it, in a localscript with filteringEnabled. It still prints 0 for me. Did you do something different? Well good that you found a workaround anyway! Just hoping to clear something up about FilteringEnabled.

Sorry, my mistake. i have another script that turns the head and body towards the mouse.p. So when the player looks directly up its gives an angle 90 degress. my character is falling so i have a script that when he looks up he falls slower and when he looks down he falls faster. but thanks for your answer ;)

I'm thinking maybe you are using a localscript to change the Neck's C0, in which case that might not propagate to server to be read by your server script anymore when you turn on FilteringEnabled yes.

Ahh yes so there is the problem, the changes by looking up with mouse are done locally (so i think localscript), which means other's won't see them. So anyway there is the blockade that FE puts up indeed, thanks!
