So i'm trying to learn how remote events work and i'm seeing that you can send data, I'm having trouble with this,

This is my local script, in StarterPack

01local usi = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02usi.InputBegan:Connect(function(imput, typing)
03    if typing then
04        return
05    else
06        if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
07            local x = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
08            x:FireServer(workspace.Baseplate.Color, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
09        end
10    end
11 
12end)

When you press F the local script executes a remoteevent serversided.

This is my server script

1local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
2event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(basecolor, plrname)
3    print(basecolor)
4    print(plrname)
5end)

When i press F, it prints 2 sets of information, But not what i want, first it prints my characters name(Entity_246) then coordinates (0.388235, 0.372549, 0.384314), What am i missing? are these values preset by Roblox and they have to be preset, or can i customize them?

Thanks for any help :)

Ah yes.

Roblox by default includes the argument of the player as the first one.

1local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
2event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, basecolor, plrname)
3    print(basecolor)
4    print(plrname)
5end)

That will work, you must specify player argument even if you don't use it
