why isn't my remote function returning a bool?
for some reason the server wont return a bool value or maybe the client isn't picking it up, please help. Btw i have left the rest of the code out because it is unnecessary and is hard to read.
Client:
Uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if mouse.Target ~= nil then
part = mouse.Target
part = part:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
if part then
local ig = reqGrab:InvokeServer(part) -- the remote function
if ig == true then -- the problem
print(123456)
isGrabbing = true
end
end
end
end
end)
Server:
function requestGrab(player, part)
if playerParts[part] ~= nil then return false end -- will not let code run if part is associated with a player,
if collectionService:HasTag(part, tag) then
local primaryPart = part:FindFirstChild("PrimaryPart")
if primaryPart then
playerParts[part] = player
applyConfig(part)
for i, v in pairs(part:GetChildren()) do
v:SetNetworkOwner(player)
end
print(part.Name .. " Successfully claimed!")
return true -- i want this value to be returned to the client side
end
end
end

I don't think you can search the primary part using :FindFirstChild(), thats why the findfirstchild will return nil and inside it is the return so without the primary part == true, it will return nil, and also mouse.Target can only get parts, I don't think it can get models or tools, try
if part.Parent:IsA("Model")
local primaryPart = part.Parent.PrimaryPart
if primaryPart then
-- Your code
end
end

i found the solution to the problem, i forgot i was calling the function from another function and returning the bool only returned it to the function it was in. and i named one of the parts in the model primary part, im not actually referencing the primarypart property of a model, and the variable part is changed in the next line to the parent "Model". ill accept your answer Code1400 75 — 4y
