attempt to index local 'plr' (a nil value)?
Due to the fact that i cannot run the OnServerEvent with local script how can i make it so fireball fires in direction of mouse?
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Fire = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)
Fire.Name = "FireBall"
local plr = game:GetService([[Players]]).LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
local lefthand = Char.LeftHand
Fire.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Player, Debounce)
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
Debounce = true
local Fireball = Instance.new("Part")
Fireball.Name = "FireBall"
Fireball.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
Fireball.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3)
Fireball.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
Fireball.CanCollide = false
Fireball.Parent = Char
Fireball.CFrame = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame*CFrame.new(2,0,-6)
Fireball.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright orange")
local BV = Instance.new([[BodyVelocity]], Fireball)
BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(mouse.Hit.lookVector * 90)
BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(lefthand.CFrame.lookVector, 5, 0)
--oof
local dmg = script.Dmg:Clone()
dmg.Parent = Fireball
dmg.Disabled = false
wait(0.5)
dmg:Destroy()
wait(4)
Debounce = false
Fireball:Destroy()
end)

You're using OnServerEvent in a localscript? MythicalShade 420 — 6y

You are either using OnServerEvent in a local script, or you are trying to access the local player from a server script. You can not access the local player from a server script. valchip 789 — 6y

Why are you using OnServerEvent if you're never using FireServer? MythicalShade 420 — 6y

As mentioned by others, you cannot use LocalPlayer, Mouse from a Script. Since you need the Hit of the mouse, simply send it as a parameter.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Fire = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") -- parent argument deprecated
Fire.Name = "FireBall"
Fire.Parent = ReplicatedStorage -- parent LAST
Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Hit, Debounce) -- connect is deprecated, use Connect
-- Hit will be the mouse Hit
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- :wait() is deprecated
local lefthand = Char.LeftHand
Debounce = true
local Fireball = Instance.new("Part")
Fireball.Name = "FireBall"
Fireball.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
Fireball.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3)
Fireball.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
Fireball.CanCollide = false
Fireball.CFrame = Char:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()*CFrame.new(2,0,-6)
Fireball.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright orange")
Fireball.Parent = Char
local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BV.Velocity = Hit.LookVector*90 -- LookVector is already a Vector3
BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(lefthand.CFrame.LookVector.X, 5, 0)
-- LookVector is the vector, the X property is the X coordinates of the vector
BV.Parent = Fireball
local dmg = script.Dmg:Clone()
dmg.Parent = Fireball
dmg.Disabled = false
wait(0.5)
dmg:Destroy()
wait(4)
Debounce = false
Fireball:Destroy()
end)
-- somewhere in a localscript Fire:FireServer(mouse.Hit, Debounce) -- Do NOT pass the player!
It is also worth noting that your strings were inconsistent. In some lines you would use "" and in others you would use [[]]. Though it doesn't affect the code, it is important to be consistent. Your code also had a few deprecated items, which should not be used. Here is a little article on deprecation and what it can do to your code in the future if it contains deprecated items.

What's happening here is that you seem to be using LocalPlayer which is only accessible to the client. A possible fix would be to run a code in a local script telling the server to create a fireball.
