So I've been trying to make a clock using a remote event, why wont the script work?
Normal Script the one that fires the remote event
01 | local TimerStart = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") |
02 | TimerStart.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage |
03 | TimerStart.Name = "TimerStart" |
04 |
05 | function onTouch() |
06 | print("working") |
07 | TimerStart:FireClient() |
08 | end |
09 |
10 |
11 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch) |
local script the one that runs the timer
01 | local time = 0 |
02 | local function TimerStart() |
03 | print("working2") |
04 | script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = 0 |
05 | for i = 1, 9999 do |
06 | wait(0.1) |
07 | time = time + 0.1 |
08 | script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = tostring(time) |
09 |
10 |
11 | end |
12 | end |
Heres the new updated local script
01 | local time = 0 |
02 | local function TimerStart() |
03 | print("working2") |
04 | script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = 0 |
05 | for i = 1, 9999 do |
06 | wait(0.1) |
07 | time = time + 0.1 |
08 | script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = tostring(time) |
09 |
10 | TimerStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(TimerStart) |
11 |
12 | end |
13 | end |

You need to use TimerStart.OnClientEvent. The function in your local script isn’t being called. andrewcooke582 -52 — 6y

"time" is a global function built in by rblx, rename time to something else as it can confuse the script. User#19524 175 — 6y

Looks like you're missing an OnClientEvent in your Local Script. Should also rename your event so it's not the same as your function.
Local Script
1 | TimerStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(TimerStart) |
Also, specify which client to start the timer. Server Script
1 | TimerStart:FireClient(player) |
Here is what you should have:
Local Script
01 | local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("TimerStart") |
02 | local time = 0 |
03 |
04 | local function TimerStart() |
05 | print("working2") |
06 | script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = 0 |
07 |
08 | for i = 1, 9999 do |
09 | wait(0.1) |
10 | time = time + 0.1 |
11 | script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = tostring(time) |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | event.OnClientEvent:Connect(TimerStart) |
Server Script
01 | local TimerStart = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") |
02 | TimerStart.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage |
03 | TimerStart.Name = "TimerStart" |
04 |
05 | function onTouch(hit) |
06 | print("working") |
07 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
08 | if player then |
09 | TimerStart:FireClient(player) |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch) |

Although this does help, I get an error on normal script saying "Argument 1 missing or nil" anyway I can fix this? IAmSoloz 14 — 6y

Yeah, figured something was missing. Just updated the answer. MooMooThalahlah 421 — 6y

Hopefully you know how to find a player from a touch event? MooMooThalahlah 421 — 6y

Did he also forget about the Player Gui? Or no? DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 6y

LocalScript:1: attempt to index global 'TimerStart' (a nil value) IAmSoloz 14 — 6y

It's nil because you didn't declare TimerStart and it should really be named something else. Updated answer with what you should have. MooMooThalahlah 421 — 6y

@MCAndRobloxUnited No, the local script is already referencing the TextLabel so I can assume it's inside the GUI. MooMooThalahlah 421 — 6y
