Detect if event fired.

FireServer.

[vague sable]

im not reading all of this code but

its probably because it expects a string

and what youre sending is not a string

[orchid otter]

i wanna make that

[vague sable]

print typeof(thing)

[orchid otter]

when you click the button the event fires and

ok

[vague sable]

and see what it shows you

[orchid otter]

nil?

[vague sable]

try printing the thing itself

its probably nil

[orchid otter]

it is nil.

[vague sable]

ok wait

what is this. script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

and you are not sending over player

you arent sending anything

[orchid otter]

the player

i printed and

[vague sable]

then remove o from the arguments.

[orchid otter]

.

[vague sable]

and instead of doing local plr =game.Players:WaitForChild(plr) do
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

[orchid otter]

aight

i realized that the plr is the fire without the o,

i should check before asking

but anyways

after clicking

no errors show up nor the character on workspace but do appear on the player's character

[vague sable]

wait

i just realized

youre sending a remote

[orchid otter]

yes

[vague sable]

it automatically sends player with it

no need to send it as a argument

[orchid otter]

wq

oh

[vague sable]

but you need to account for it in the OnSererEvent

the first argument will be the player

[orchid otter]

oh

[woeful jetty]

for ones who want to keep there eyes: |
Server:

game.ReplicatedStorage.addchar.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(o, plr)
  tostring(plr) -- why ?
  local plr = game.Players:WaitForChild(plr) -- plr is already here my guy
  local character = game.ReplicatedStorage.Rig:Clone()
  character.Parent = workspace
  plr.Character = character
end)

Client:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
  game.ReplicatedStorage.addchar:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent) -- the parent parent ye
end)

Just do:

game.ReplicatedStorage.addchar.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player)
  local character = game.ReplicatedStorage.Rig:Clone()
  character.Parent = workspace

  player.Character = character
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
  game.ReplicatedStorage.addchar:FireServer()
end)

hum btw you will need to change player camera in client and other things so you should use a bindable function to get back to the client the new character so you can change the camera and other things

[orchid otter]

the rig doesnt parent to workspace

[woeful jetty]

hum it should.. (or i can be wrong but i dont see why)

[orchid otter]

it literally doesnt send it to workspace

there is no error message

[woeful jetty]

add a print to the server thing to check if its executed

[orchid otter]

print(character.Parent)

[woeful jetty]

that anormal

hum idk
