Animation doesn't load when client fires sever?

Asked by

When my client fires a Remote Event, the server doesn't return any error. When I do fire the event, the first animation never seems to load. There's no indacation in my script that says straight out of the bloom, "Hey, this is an error." Take a look at the server script.

local PunchEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('punch')
local Cooldown = 0.8

local PunchData = {}
local Cooldowns = {}

local function PlaySound(ID,Parent)
    local Sound = Instance.new("Sound")
    Sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
    Sound.PlayOnRemove = true
    Sound.Parent = Parent
    Sound:Destroy()
end

function Make(Character)
        local CantRegen = Instance.new("IntValue")
        CantRegen.Name = "CantRegen"
        CantRegen.Parent = Character
        game.Debris:AddItem(CantRegen, 1)
end

PunchEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)

    if Cooldowns[Player] then -- player has used cooldowns before
        if Cooldowns[Player] >= tick() - Cooldown then -- player has not completed cooldown
            return -- return code so code below doesn't execute
        end
    end

    Cooldowns[Player] = tick() -- set so player can not use punch event for cooldown seconds

    local Data = Player:WaitForChild('Data')
    local Stamina = Data:WaitForChild('Stamina')

    if Stamina.Value < 11 then
        return
    else
        Stamina.Value = Stamina.Value - 10  -- take 10 stamina away
    end

    local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- get player character, if it doesn't exist wait for it

    Make(Character)

    local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

    if PunchData[Character] == nil then -- if there is no data for this character
        PunchData[Character] = { -- set it for the first time
            ["LeftPunch"] = Animator:LoadAnimation(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Left")),
            ["RightPunch"] = Animator:LoadAnimation(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Right")), -- doesnt load
            ["LastPunch"] = "LeftPunch",
            ["CanPunch"] = true
        }
    end

    local SecondaryDataTable = PunchData[Character]

    local RightHand = Character.RightHand
    local LeftHand = Character.LeftHand

    local CurrentConnection = nil
    local CurrentAnimationTrack = nil

    if SecondaryDataTable.LastPunch == "LeftPunch" then
        SecondaryDataTable.CanPunch = false
        SecondaryDataTable.LastPunch = "RightPunch"

        PlaySound(711753382, Character.RightHand)
        CurrentAnimationTrack = SecondaryDataTable.RightPunch

        CurrentConnection = Character.RightHand.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
            local Humanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
            if Humanoid then
                Humanoid:TakeDamage(12)
                PlaySound(367499850, RightHand)
                CurrentConnection:Disconnect()
            end
        end)


    elseif SecondaryDataTable.LastPunch == "RightPunch" then
        SecondaryDataTable.CanPunch = false
        SecondaryDataTable.LastPunch = "LeftPunch"

        PlaySound(711753382, LeftHand)
        CurrentAnimationTrack = SecondaryDataTable.LeftPunch

        CurrentConnection = Character.LeftHand.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
            local Humanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
            if Humanoid then
                Humanoid:TakeDamage(12)
                PlaySound(367499850, LeftHand)
                CurrentConnection:Disconnect()
            end
        end)

        CurrentAnimationTrack:Play()
        CurrentAnimationTrack.Stopped:Wait()
        if CurrentConnection then CurrentConnection:Disconnect() end
        SecondaryDataTable.CanPunch = true
    end
end)

And here's the client script.

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PunchEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.punch

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, GameProcessedEvent)
    if not GameProcessedEvent then
        if Key.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
            PunchEvent:FireServer()
        end
    end
end)

You actually don't need a RemoteEvent to play animations, animations are part of player physics, so they replicate. I'd only use the RemoteEvent for dealing damage. User#19524 175 — 5y

So how do I solve my problem? FireyMcBlox 134 — 5y

Well I don't think you should be nesting events inside of others, like the Touched events you have. You could make a script, parent under the script, and clone it when the key is pressed from the remote. User#19524 175 — 5y

Seems benefical. But, how does this tie in with the animation problem? FireyMcBlox 134 — 5y

function square(iteratorMaxCount,currentNumber)

if currentNumber<iteratorMaxCount then currentNumber = currentNumber+1 return currentNumber, currentNumber*currentNumber end

end

for i,n in square,3,0 do print(i,n) end and nowit is more than enough to add the transfer time in seconds transformed into data

This has nothing to do with the question. User#19524 175 — 5y
