How to make a remote event in replicated storage using a script?

First of all, your remote event name has to be a string. Secondly, there's 2 options to set the parent. You can use the 2nd parameter of Instance.new() which is the parent of the script. It is deprecated however, so I do not suggest using it. Instead use q.Parent after making the Instance.
local q = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
q.Name = "q" --It HAS to be a string
q.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage --You're setting the parent of the remote event
You forgot to parent the instance. You see, if an instance (any object, like RemoteEvents) has no parents, it won't appear.
I would type it like this:
local remoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") --variable that's not a single letter to make it less confusing
remoteEvent.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage --you ALWAYS want to parent the RemoteEvent first to prevent any errors
remoteEvent.Name = "remoteEvent name here"
Also, next time when you post, try and make it more descriptive. It was kind of hard for me to read and understand.

Ohmygod I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to spam! I Accidentally clicked the "Post" button too many times!
It's no problem. Anyways, thanks for the info. I'll make sure to parent it first.
