How do I use FireEvent in my Local Script? (Person said it's possible).
Hello, please review the answer to my question of 'Code works in a server script but doesn't work on a local script?'
https://imgur.com/a/kSCBtSZ
I am currently confused of how to do such thing as he didn't actually explain much. If there is a solution that doesn't involve a RemoteEvent please tell me.
My code:
local eggs = game.ReplicatedStorage.Eggs
local spawns = game.Workspace.EggSpawns
local spawn = spawns.EoTS
local eots = eggs["Egg of True Skill"]
local eggClone = eots:Clone()
local eggClone2 = eots:Clone()
eggClone.Parent = game.Workspace.SpawnedEggs
eggClone.Position = spawn.Position + Vector3.new(0,0.5,0)
eggClone.Anchored = false
eggClone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr then
game.ReplicatedStorage.FoundEgg:FireClient(plr,eggClone.Name)
eggClone:destroy()
end
end)

If i understand your code correctly you're trying to send information from a client to another client. Like i previously said in my answer, a Client cannot directly send information to another client. You can't in other words use FireClient in an localcsript.
You would have to instead send the client's information to a server and then let the server forward it to the other client. Client1 -> Server -> Client2
Here's an example on how the code would look like:
Client
-- We get the remote event and store it in a variable
local Relay = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvent')
Relay.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(from,data)
print(from .. ' just sent me this: ' .. tostring(data))
end)
local some_data = {
text = 'Some random string',
}
Relay:FireServer('Client2',some_data)
Server
local Relay = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvent')
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
Relay.OnServerEvent:Connect(player,sendTo,data)
local from = player.Name
local goal = Players:FindFirstChild(sendTo)
if (goal == nil) then
error('Unable to relay message to: ' .. sendTo)
end
Players:FireClient(goal,from,data)
end
