Remote event "Unable to cast value to object"

[lofty carbon]

I am making a broadcasting system for a game but my script is giving my this error, I have gotten it before but i still do not know how to fix it.

module.Broadcast = function(Text,Player)
    for i,v in game.Players:GetChildren() do
        if v.Name == Player then
            v.PlayerGui.BroadcastGui.Main.TextLabel.Broadcast:FireClient(Player,Text)
        end
    end
end

local script pov:

script.Parent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player,Text)
    if Text ~= string then return end
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
    script.Parent.Parent.Text = Text
    task.wait(2)
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
    script.Parent.Parent.Text = "Message"
end)

You have to supply the player you're firing the event to in FireClient first before any other params

[lofty carbon]

oh right

Remote event "Unable to cast value to object" solvedg

Remote event "Unable to cast value to object"

[lofty carbon]

it still broken

[ripe iron]

Sorry you're going to have to elaborate a little more than that

[lofty carbon]

it is the same error

[ripe iron]

Because you're giving Player, which looks like the player's name, but v is the player instance. You need to use the player instance with FireClient

[lofty carbon]

after the local script gets the text is is nil but not on anywhere else it has text??

[ripe iron]

Can you show me that LocalScript formatted?

[lofty carbon]

it is in original message

[ripe iron]

I don't see the print there though

[lofty carbon]

that is only tihng than is not same on it

[ripe iron]

So is the issue that text isn't being set? or the label is empty? What is string? It looks like you're comparing Text to a variable called string

[lofty carbon]

ok so the remote event is returning text as nil when it is receving the first 2 things that printed

string is a thing roblox has that you can use to find a string like i did there but its not a string so it wont work.

[ripe iron]

You sure you don't mean typeOf(Text) == "string"?

[lofty carbon]

no

the thing i use is the same

[ripe iron]

Are you absolutely sure? Can you use the command console to show me that "hello world" == string?

[lofty carbon]

ok

it does but also even if i did not have it at start it would still be nil

[ripe iron]

oh sorry I see it now.

[lofty carbon]

updated script

script.Parent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player,Text)
    if Text ~= string then print("No text! Continuing script.") end
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
    script.Parent.Parent.Text = tostring(Text)
    print(Text)
    task.wait(1.5)
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
    script.Parent.Parent.Text = "Message"
end)

textlabel gets set to nil now

[ripe iron]

OnClientEvent does not give the Player parameter.

The player argument is only used by FireClient

[lofty carbon]

huhh

why remote events be so annoying 😭🙏

[ripe iron]

They're not

Just don't have the Player parameter in the OnClientEvent connected function

[lofty carbon]

it still is nil

script.Parent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Text)
    if Text ~= string then warn("No text!") return end
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
    script.Parent.Parent.Text = tostring(Text)
    print(Text)
    task.wait(1.5)
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
    script.Parent.Parent.Text = "Message"
end)

[ripe iron]

So if you print Text immediately before doing any checks, it's nil?

[lofty carbon]

wait

i tihnk its fixed

it works now!

[ripe iron]

yay
