Why is this remote function not affecting the client?
Here is the LocalScript:
01 | local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
02 | local eventsFunctions = repStorage:WaitForChild("Events/Functions") |
03 | local neededFunction = eventsFunctions:FindFirstChild("RemoteFunction") |
04 | local success, message = pcall(function() |
05 | if neededFunction then |
06 | print("arrived at the event") -- this prints |
07 | neededFunction.OnClientInvoke:Connect(function(box) |
08 | print("fired") -- this never prints |
09 | if box:IsA("BasePart") then |
10 | for i = 0.1, 1 do |
11 | wait(1) |
12 | box.Transparency = i |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
18 | if success then |
19 | print("Happy") |
20 | end |
Here is the server script:
1 | local remoteFunction = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Events/Functions").RemoteFunction |
2 | print("got here") -- this prints |
3 | remoteFunction:InvokeClient(player, boxCopy) -- note: player is this: local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) I do check to see if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"). players is: game:GetService("Players") |
4 | awardBoxPrize(boxCopy, playerInfo, prize) |
5 | boxCopy:Destroy() |
Quick note: All the names and variable assignments are prototypes. This is not how I normally format things. Please refrain from commenting on that kind of stuff. It will be changed when I figure out how to make this work. Thanks!

By "not affecting" do you mean, it doesn't Invoke the function or there are errors, what is the issue? climethestair 1663 — 6y

The problem here is you are trying to connect to a RemoteFunction.
the :Connect function is only used for Events
1 | neededFunction.OnClientInvoke:Connect(function(box) |
2 | -- Should be |
3 |
4 | neededFunction.OnClientInvoke = function(box) |
