Help Firing from Server to Client?

Asked by

I'm trying to code a simple outline for a block that infects you with a virus, and I'm trying to send the server script to a LocalScript for easier changing of player values, etc.

My current script (which is inside of the part that you need to walk on) is this:

--Variables

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local pressed = false

--Script

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

        if not pressed then

            pressed = true

            local chance = math.random(1,10) 
            local incubation = math.random(60, 120)

            print("FVZ-112 Script Fired.")

            local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
            event.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Viruses.FVZ112
            event.Name = "onTouched"

            print("Event Defined.")

            local function onTouched(player)
                event:FireClient(player)
            end

            script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

            print("Event Fired")
            wait(5)
            pressed = false

        end
    end 
end)

The problem is that when I step on the button, in the output it says "FireClient: player argument must be a Player object"

I know that the incubation and chance values aren't doing anything currently, but I'll implement them once I've made sure the script works.

try changing the remote event name, the name of an object can interfere with the script. such as naming an object Color. mantorok4866 201 — 5y

The BasePart.Touched event has a special argument that returns the part that touched

Here is a simple script getting the player

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        print(player.Name) -- Prints the players name, so it would print "BashGuy10"
    end
end)

So, in your case it would be:

--Variables

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local pressed = false

--Script

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

        if not pressed then

             pressed = true

            local chance = math.random(1,10) 
            local incubation = math.random(60, 120)

            print("FVZ-112 Script Fired.")

            local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
            event.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Viruses.FVZ112
            event.Name = "onTouched"

            print("Event Defined.")

            local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

            event:FireClient(plr)

            print("Event Fired")
            wait(5)
            pressed = false

        end
    end 
end)
