Why wont my remote event script with clickdetector work?

Asked 246 views2 answers

I have a jar (cookies inside) inside the jar brick is a normal script:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(p)
game.ReplicatedStorage.jarguion:FireClient()
end)

  script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(p)
game.ReplicatedStorage.jarguioff:FireClient()
end)

i manualy checked everthing. the remote event is there, same name(s), gui is named same thing, its there, output says:

Argument 1 missing or nil

please help, it worked before, the only difference is that this is a client event and my others are server events and they work.

i also tried changing this to localscript and changing FireClient to FireServer, and added print in front of it as debug, but nothing printed after that line

ClickDetectors work in both server and local scripts. In your case you would just use a local script and remove the remote things.

It probably does not work because you put the local script in the workspace and expect it to run.

General Practice

Use :GetService() to retrieve the ReplicatedStorage

Use :WaitForChild() to make sure something exists before using or changing it

Issues

The first parameter of :FireClient() is always the player instance, since the ClickDetector automatically gives you the player through its parameters, just add the variable name to the FireClient section

Revised Server Script

local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("jarguion")
local click = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector")

click.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(p)
	remote:FireClient(p)
end)

click.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(p)
	remote:FireClient(p)
end)

This function would fire to the client, so you'd need a localscript that has the set-up [game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("jarguion").OnClientEvent:Connect(function() end)]

As I said before ClickDetectors work in server and local script. This is incorrect to say to use remotes here. User input is managed on the client side.

i tried making normal script in starterpack:

    game.ReplicatedStorage.jarguion.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()

print("gui on")

end)

but it doesnt print that, so what now?
