My script won't run when the event is fired and I have no idea why.. please help?

Asked 201 views1 answers

Alright, this is all fired through a remote event. I have no idea why this isn't working at all. I've tried adding and removing "Player", I've tried rescripting it to from scratch to see if I made an error and I get nothing.. Here's the script I believe has an error.

------------Variables------------
IntroEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.ShowTronEvents.IntroEvent
TVTop = game.Workspace.TVTop --Overhead Screen
TV = game.Workspace.TV --Main TV Screen
Screen1 = game.Workspace.Screen1 --Left Stage MiniTron
Screen2 = game.Workspace.Screen2 --Right Stage MiniTron
Side1 = game.Workspace.Side1 -- Left Bottom Stage Screen [Extra]
Side2 = game.Workspace.Side2 -- Right Bottom Stage Screen [Extra]
Side3 = game.Workspace.Side3 -- Left Far Jumbo Screen
Side4 = game.Workspace.Side4 -- Right Far Jumbo Screen
Apron1 = game.Workspace.Apron1 --Front Apron
Apron2 = game.Workspace.Apron2 --Left Apron
Apron3 = game.Workspace.Apron3 --Back Apron
Apron4 = game.Workspace.Apron4 --Right Apron
Canvas = game.Workspace.RingCanvas --Ring Cavans/ Ring Matt
TopRope = game.Workspace.TopRope
MiddleRope = game.Workspace.MiddleRope
BottomRope = game.Workspace.BottomRope
LED = game.Workspace.LEDColor
------------Main Script------------
IntroEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Intro)
	if Intro == "Annihilation" then
		TVTop.Decal.Texture = ""
		TV.Decal.Texture = ""
		Screen1.Decal.Texture = ""
		Screen2.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side1.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side2.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side3.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side4.Decal.Texture = ""
		s = Instance.new("Sound")
		s.Name = "Sound"
		s.Parent = game.Workspace
		s.SoundId = "rbxassetid://3341223012"
		s.Volume = 1
		s.Pitch = 0.87
		s:Play()
		wait(2)
		m = Instance.new("Message")
		m.Parent = game.Workspace
		m.Text = "Song rights to Papa Roach. Song Name: To Be Loved..."
		wait(3)
		m.Text = "Please be reminded that breaking in will be an immediate BAN, champion or not."
		wait(5)
		m.Text = "Tonight we rise..."
		wait(4)
		m.Text = "Welcome everyone to this special edition of..."
		wait(4)
		m.Text = "FRIDAY NIGHT..."
		wait(3)
		m.Text = "AAANNNIIIIIHHHHIIIILLLLAATTTTIIIOOOONNNN"
		wait(4)
		m:Destroy()
		wait(0.1)
		for i,v in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do 
		local Cut = game.ServerScriptService.Intro1:Clone()
		Cut.Disabled = false
		Cut.Parent = v.Character
		end
		script.Parent.Pyro.Disabled = false
		wait(10)
		m:Destroy()
		s:Stop()
		wait(0.1)
	elseif Intro == "PPV" then
		TVTop.Decal.Texture = ""
		TV.Decal.Texture = ""
		Screen1.Decal.Texture = ""
		Screen2.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side1.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side2.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side3.Decal.Texture = ""
		Side4.Decal.Texture = ""
	end
end)

My button script.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.ShowTronEvents.IntroEvent:FireServer("Annihilation")
end)

Thank you in advance for any help.

It's fired through a GUI Button.

Have you checked the output?

Nothing pops up, that was the first thing I thought of.

you code is kinda of too messy to thoroughly comprehend, but here is a cleaner alternative to what i think you want to make..

--server script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local onActivateGameMode= ReplicatedStorage.ble.bleh -- remote event directory

local message_time = 3

local messages = {
	annihilation = {
		configure = function()  
			print("making configurations for the game mode")
		end

		messages = {
			"Hey, my name is annihilation",
			--more messages here!
		}
	}



	
	ppv= {
		configure = function()  
			print("making configurations for the game mode")
		end

		messages = {
			"Hey there, I am ppv",
			--more messages here!
		}
	}
	

}



function onServerEvent(player, mode)
	local mode_info= messages[mode:lower()]
	local mode_messages = mode_info.messages
	
	if(mode_info.configure) then
		mode_info.configure() -- to do any some of configuration for a specific game mode!	
	end

	
	for _, message in pairs(mode_messages ) do
		--do something with the message
		print(message)
		local extra_time = 0.1 * #message
		
		wait(message_time + extra_time)
	end
end

onActivateGameMode.OnServerEvent:Connect( onServerEvent )

--in localscript

local onActivateGameMode= ReplicatedStorage.ble.bleh -- remote event directory
local button = --directory to button

button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	onActivateGameMode:FireServer("PPV")
end)

further more, you can put the messages in a Module Script, to make the code easier to read..

Alright, I respect this style and if I was doing something different... I'd use this but I kind of need it to be in this order.. On-top of that, I don't know much about Module scripts... lol. Thank you for the help though but I just want to know why my script isn't firing correctly.

Try opening the output and see if there is any errors..

I now know what Module Scripts are and I looked into this and this was a lot nicer, thank you very much.
