Why does my script only work when I am the only person in the server?

Alright, so here is the problem. When I have more than just me any server, the projectile does not appear. I have tested this, and AS SOON as they join, it stops firing. Here is the script I am having problems with:

01game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents2.Spells.ignis_cast.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, position)
02        if script.CanFire.Value == true then -- 2 second delay between casting spell
03            game.ReplicatedStorage.Debug.Recieve:FireAllClients()
04            script.CanFire.Value = false
05            game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents2.Spells.ignis_cast:FireClient(player)
06            timer = os.time()
07            local spell = game.ReplicatedStorage.Spells.Ignis["Spell-Fire"]:Clone()
08            spell.Parent = game.Workspace.Spells.Ignis
09            spell.Name = "Ignis"
10            spell.CFrame = player.Character.RightHand.CFrame
11            spell.Transparency = 1
12            spell.Velocity = setMagnitude(player.Character.RightHand.Position, position)
13            spell.CanCollide = false -- Collision will be done a different way (effect added, part removed)
14            local bf = Instance.new("BodyForce")
15            bf.Force = Vector3.new(0,game.Workspace.Gravity * spell:GetMass(),0)
16            bf.Parent = spell
17            local sh = game.ServerScriptService.Spells.ignisCollision:Clone()
18            sh.Parent = spell
19            sh.Disabled = false
20            spell.Player.Value = player.Name -- Set the value for who fired the spell
21            sh.PlayerFired.Value = player.Name
22            wait(2)
23            script.CanFire.Value = true
24        else
25            game.ReplicatedStorage.Debug.Fire:FireAllClients()
26        end
27    end)

I am using ScreenGuis to test that the remote event is firing, and it returns that the event is being fired when it is supposed to be, but nothing is appearing in terms of the projectile.

This is a SERVER script, and "CanFire.Value" is set to true when the player is supposed to fire. It is also changed to false when the player clicks at the appropriate time.

This makes it frustration as in my view, my script should work.

Any ideas?

It does work when I am the only one in the server. appxritixn 2235 — 5y

Do you know at exactly what line it breaks? Are you sure the ignis_cast is being fired correctly? Greenhands1 4 — 5y

Sorry didn't read the bottom part. Greenhands1 4 — 5y
