Why does my script not work on Filter enabled servers?

Asked by 6 years ago

I making this gun and it works perfectly in Studio but when in a server with a friend my friend can't see my bullets and killing each other doesn't work.

Could someone explain to me how to make my script work in servers (I used a local script)

-- Starting stuff --
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local character = player.Character
local Barrel = tool:WaitForChild("Barrel")
local enabled = true
local Ammo = tool:WaitForChild("Ammo")
local ammo = Ammo.Value
local SA = tool:WaitForChild("StoredAmmo")
local StoredAmmo = SA.Value
local Reloading = false

--Shooting--
function Shoot()
    if ammo >= 1 and enabled == true and Reloading == false then
    enabled = false
    Firing = true
    isFiring()
    end
end

-- Damage Value --
local Damage = 10,15
local Accuracy = math.random(-5,5)
function isFiring()
    repeat
    local Bullet = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
    ammo=ammo-1
    print(ammo)
    function onTouched(hit)
    if hit.Parent.Name==(player.Name) then
    hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - Damage*0
    elseif hit.Name == "Head" then
    hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - Damage*2
    Bullet:Destroy()
    elseif hit.Name == "Torso" then
    hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - Damage*1
    Bullet:Destroy()
    elseif hit.Name == "Right Leg" then
    hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - Damage*0.5
    Bullet:Destroy()
    elseif hit.Name == "Left Leg" then
    hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - Damage*0.5
    Bullet:Destroy()

it would be nice if u pinpointed your problems before posting 200 lines of code Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 6y

if you knew enough to write this you'd also know how filtering enabled worked. DinozCreates 1070 — 6y

I got to agree with gioni01 you could have been a little more specific but filtering enabled means that local scripts cannot effect things within the game like workspace, only server scripts can. When you turn filtering enabled off then exploiters can break your game really bad with running local scripts that effect your game VoltiCoio 19 — 6y

Because its in a local script it wont work with filtering enabled and all of the shooting part would have to be run through a server script. There's a few ways you could do it and I am new to this so i don't know the best way but a Remote event would most likely work for this.

For example:

--LocalScript
--CODE
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function()
    game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").[bulletRemoteEventName]:FireServer() --Fires the remote event and triggers it in the server script
 end)

--ServerScript
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").[bulletRemoteEventname].OnServerEvent:Connect(function() --Hears out for the event and connects to a function
    --Code for bullet shooting
 end)

You can research this a little more here- https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/class/RemoteEvent

I don't think that there is a need for a "." after "game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")" OptimisticSide 199 — 6y
