server side

local function observar(sala)
    local sa = game:GetService("ServerStorage").SalasF:FindFirstChild(sala.Name)
        if sa then
        local partida = {
            t1 = sa.T1.Value,
            t2 = sa.T2.Value,
            Qt1 = sa.Qt1.Value,
            Qt2 = sa.Qt2.Value,
            val = sa.Val.Value,
            r1 = sa.r1.Value,
            r2 = sa.r2.Value,
            r3 = sa.r3.Value,
        }
        return partida
    end
end
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("observar").OnServerInvoke = observar

client side

local partida = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("observar"):InvokeServer(mesa)
print(partida)

"partida" receives a nil value, for context, "sa" is a folder that stores some int values

do something like

print(sa.Name) before "if sa then"

#

valid pulsar do something like ```lua print(sa.Name) before "if sa then" ```

this will show an error cuz sala wont exist yet

valid pulsar Jan 30, 2026, 3:20 AM
