My arguments never work in remote events?

Asked 185 views1 answers

Whenever I need to send something to the server via remote event is keeps saying blah blah blah is not a valid member of player. So let's say I had these arguments in order in the remote event sent to the server: (player, TextBox) and if the variable player was referenced as a player and the TextBox was a TextBox. If in the receiving script I say for example: TextBox.Text = "Test." it would print this error:

Text is not a valid member of player.

Am I doing something wrong or can the only argument be a player? Sorry if this question is hard to read; I am writing this on mobile right now.

Can you send the actual script os we know if you are doing something wrong?

There is no actual script. This always happens. It always sends the player instance but never the other args.

That's because the first argument received by the server is always the player, and only then your arguments arrive.

For example if you do remote:FireServer(workspace, "hello"), the server would see it as (player, workspace, "hello")

So just stop sending the player as one of the arguments, and shift your argument numbers by 1 on the server.

I tried (player,"RandomValue",msg) and when I tried to print the message's text, it printed "nil",
