What is the problem with remote events that i dont understand

[vocal goblet]

For some reason whenver i send something through remote events it returns nil it happens so often with me that whenever it happens i get fed up and move on to something else and now i noticed how many of them i left behind heres on:
LocalScript:

SpoilerEvent:FireServer(but)

ServerScript:

SpoilerEvent.OnServerEvent(plr,but)

In the server script the 2nd value is always nil now the plr is plr but the 2nd value is nill and this is what happens in all my other remote events

What value do you set on but

[stoic kernel]

unless you are assigning something or making but a variable it will be nil, if you want to send the text "but" do it like this

SpoilerEvent:FireServer("but")

in the server script it will have value and the value will be a string "but"

[gray saffron]

you gotta actualluy connect the OnServerEvent to a function using OnServerEvent:Connect(function() end)

but its probably just an example you posted, there is no symptoms of this being the issue

[stoic kernel]

oh shit right

missed that

[gray saffron]

yea happens to the best of us xD

[vocal goblet]

Oh nah i remembered about this problem after closing studio so i wrote ot by myself on studio it actually is a function

[vocal goblet]

And but is suppsed to be a string

[stoic kernel]

add quotation marks to it

[vocal goblet]

So like a string variable but = "String"

[stoic kernel]

then

what

[vocal goblet]

So its nill when passed to server idk why and i want to know why

[stoic kernel]

because without quotation marks youre referencing that its a variable

its not

its nil

if you want you can just do local but = "but" and pass but

but like

[obtuse rivet]

** You are now Level 4! **

[stoic kernel]

yk

[vocal goblet]

But is a varaible which conatins a string vaue and i wanna get that value

[stoic kernel]

can u show the code

[gray saffron]

ok, i figured it was something like that

[vocal goblet]

Im not at home im on mobile

[vocal goblet]

ok i cma back and now its working idk what chnaged

[stoic kernel]

Quick explanation:

When firing an event you don't have to put any arg

To server

But if you're receiving in the server then you need to put the plr argument

otherwise it won't find your custom argument

On local its the opposite

You need a plr object to fire to local

But you don't need the player on receiving in local

So it'd look smth like this

Server:

  Remote:FireServer(arg)
  Remote.OnServerEvent(plr, arg)

While in local

  Remote:FireClient(plr, arg)
  Remote.OnClientEvent(arg)

[gray saffron]

What are you talking about

[analog dust]

Yeah

:FireClient() needs a plr arg

To work

[stoic kernel]

i think you messed something up bud

nvm

[gray saffron]

You cant fire client on the client bud

[analog dust]

Oh no thats not what i ment with local

I ment when firing TO the client

Not in

[gray saffron]

But you have a client reciever in the same script

[analog dust]

TO

...Its not a real scropt

Its just an example
