Unable to pass values in remote event?

Hello. I got a script that deactivates parts, but the problem isn't with that, it was with the script not passing the value of the arguments into the remote event

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("PartDeactivator"):FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent),"activate")

so the 2nd argument is "activate"

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").TrussActivator.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player,type)
	
	print(type)
	local trussToActivate = game.Workspace.Obby.Obstacles["12"].ActivatedTrusses:GetChildren()
	if type == "activate" then
		for i, truss in pairs(trussToActivate) do
			if truss:IsA("TrussPart") and not truss:IsA("Script") then
				wait(0.001)
				truss.CanCollide = true
				truss.Transparency = 0
			end
		end
	elseif type == "deactivate" then
		for i, truss in pairs(trussToActivate) do
			if truss:IsA("TrussPart") and not truss:IsA("Script") then
				wait(0.001)
				truss.CanCollide = false
				truss.Transparency = 1
			end
		end
	end
end)

so the line that prints out type, it didn't print out "activate", it printed out "nil"

and because of that the rest of my script does not run

any idea why the value is nil? I really need help

thanks for your time and answers are greatly appreciated
