If statement trouble == and ~= with Players?
For some reason, if the test and playerP are == to each other it will run. In testing both the test and playerP will equal the player's name.
local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")
local playerP = PLAYERS.LocalPlayer
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoveNPC.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(test)
print("Fired")
print(test)
print(playerP)
if playerP ~= test then
print("B")
local way = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("wayFind")
way:Destroy()
print("E")
end
end)

So I think the problem with the code is the fact that you are getting 2 different player Instances. The if statement compares the instance PlayerP to the instance Test, but one is on the client and one is on the server. In order to fix this issue, I would compare the names of the player(s) like so:
if playerP.Name ~= test.Name then

Okay, I found out why what happened. My playerP value needs a .Name because of the test value being sent to the player is Boss.Name.
local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")
local playerP = PLAYERS.LocalPlayer
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoveNPC.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(test)
print("Fired")
print(test)
print(playerP.Name)
if playerP.Name ~= test then --THIS LINE HERE
print("B")
local way = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("wayFind")
way:Destroy()
print("E")
end
end)

Unlike @Sir_Ragealot answer the test value does not revive a name because it is already Boss.Name being sent to the player. techN0logics 40 — 4y
