Error: OnClientEvent is not an valid member of Remote Function "game.ReplicateStorage.HatchEgg"?
So I'm trying to make an egg hatching system that involves a trade between a normal script and a local script. But I'm getting this error and I don't know why:
1 | -- On normal script -- |
2 |
3 | game.ReplicatedStorage.HatchEgg:InvokeClient(player, pet) |
4 |
5 | -- On local script -- |
6 |
7 | game.ReplicatedStorage.HatchEgg.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, pet) |
8 | -- ...... -- |
9 | end) |
I dont know why LUA is treating OnClientEvent like an Instance. Thanks.

I suggest using something other than InvokeClient, since it can hang forever if it throws an error. CrypxticDoge 135 — 4y

OnClientEvent is only reserved for Remote Events. On Remote Functions You need to use OnClientInvoke
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage.HatchEgg.OnClientInvoke = function(pet) |
2 | return true --You should use remote functions to return stuff. |
3 | end) |
Also using the player parameter OnClientInvoke is unnecessary. Just put the first parameter as pet otherwise the 2nd parameter would be nil.

Note: A reason why LUA treats an event like an Instance is because it ALWAYS assumes that you want an instance. There is a hierarchy when you use the dots. So Lua assumes that a (e.g. part) is named OnClientEvent, so it'll search for that. Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y
