Why won't my server scripts work in the serverscriptservice???

Edited 6 years ago

I've been trying to call a remote event, from a tool, through the replicated storage(where the remote event lives) to a script in serverscriptservice, and while it works fine in solo mode, playing in test, and ingame, it wont work! Why is this? I discovered while playing in test some scripts are appearing in serverscriptservice, and others are not, particularly the one i'm trying to call. However, whilst looking through the server window, in test mode, the scripts are in the Scerverscriptservice. I know the answer is staring me straight in the face. Can anyone help?

03local wand = script.Parent

05local ArchFolder = wand:WaitForChild("Effects")
06local person = wand.Parent
07local inc = script.Name

19if (connect ~= nil) then connect:disconnect() end
20connect = p.Chatted:connect(PlayerTalked)
21owner = p

you should try debugging. Make a call to the print function for every function, if, etc, to check if it's actually running. It could be that it's Disabled or something. User#19524 175 — 6y

And please post your scripts, how will you be helped without it, we can't read your mind. User#19524 175 — 6y

added the scripts, sorry bout that! Manelin 2 — 6y

there are lots of print functions so i can see what works and what doesnt. Bascially in solo mode it does the whole thing, but in test mode or ingame mode, it stops at the end of the local script. Manelin 2 — 6y

Is this your script? User#19524 175 — 6y

the talky part, to call when the player talks is not mine, but everything else is. only the part to index when the player says the script.name. and that part works ingame. Manelin 2 — 6y

Why won't my server scripts work in the serverscriptservice???
