how to use value of argument

[wheat stone]

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,block)
    local bricks = require(game.ServerScriptService.ModuleScript)
    local brick = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlacableBlocks

in this script, the argument block has a value of "killbrick" idk if it is a string or not but I want to use the name killbrick in the variable brick after placeable blocks like

  local brick = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlacableBlock.killbrick

how am I supposed to do that

So use variable in local bricks?

local brick = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlacableBlock.(block)

Maybe

First off, you need to understand what the server event actually does.
It's supposed to answer the client's call with the function :FireSetver(block) (plr is already included as the first argument automatically)
In your case these are (plr, block) from the server.

So here are a few questions:

1. What is block?

• Why local bricks requires a module script inside of the function and what is that module responsible for?
• How do you fire the remote from the client? (show the :FireServer() code)
• can you screenshot the properties of the value killbrick?
• can you please explain better what you're attempting to do here? Specifically the goal that you want to achieve.

.(block) is not working it says that an identifier is expected

Remove () ig

[wheat stone]

but i dont want block i want its value like there a block called killbrick and i want to refrence it with the variable block which has a value of killbrick

[wheat stone]

heres all the stuff

local buttons = game.StarterGui.Building.TextButton.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()
for i, v in pairs(buttons) do
    v.Activated:Connect(function()

        game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(v.Name)

    end)
end

bro im so confused on what the issue is

[wheat stone]

there isnt a issue its just something i dont know

[zenith jackal]

** You are now Level 5! **

[buoyant linden]

  local brick = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlacableBlock.killbrick

so for this line you wanted to use "killbrick", just as you have done right?

[wheat stone]

here's a simplified explanation of my situation
I have a part named brick and i also have a button with the name brick so, i created a variable which has the button.name and i passed it through the remote event so now i want to reference the part "brick" using the variable i created in local script

[buoyant linden]

ohh

button.name is a string so you can not use that to reference the part if thats what you mean

[wheat stone]

isnt there a way to use it by converting it or something

[buoyant linden]

you can send the part instead of buton.name

[wheat stone]

i cant

im using a gui

[rose tiger]

Buttons? A ClickDetector?

[wheat stone]

if i have to send part then ill have to use if statements for each block maybe

[rose tiger]

Oh

[wheat stone]

gui button

[rose tiger]

You're probably wanting to reference them like so if I got you right:
PlaceableBlocks[block]

[wheat stone]

it says string expected got instance

[rose tiger]

Do tostring()

[buoyant linden]

nice username and pfp 😂

[wheat stone]

yea did that but now there some prob in my local script

local buttons = game.StarterGui.Building.TextButton.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()
for i, v in pairs(buttons) do
    v.Activated:Connect(function()

        game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(tostring(v.Name))

    end)
end

[rose tiger]

Ah yes people barely notice or mention, on April fool's joke I changed it to BallsDeep and nobody noticed it for a month.

[rose tiger]

Why Activated and not OnMouseButton1Click or whatever they named it

[wheat stone]

tried it as well not working

[rose tiger]

Skill issue

My phone is at 69%

[wheat stone]

the loop isnt working i used prints to find out, ok the script isnt working at all

ok now i give up for today

[rose tiger]

I still wasn't able to understand what you attempted to achieve from this. If you were more clear about the purpose I could easily suggest you a method.

[wheat stone]

this is all i wanted to know but i found another bug
