Hello,

It seems as if you've incorrectly used the `:FireClient()` event!

No worries though as I'll teach you today how to use the :FireClient() event!

FireClient

Below is an example of how to send an argument to a specific client using a RemoteEvent in a Server Script (See below why.)

Why only in a ServerScript? The reason we can only have the FireClient event on Server Scripts is to protect a games security as a hacker can easily intercept Local Scripts, and a player could use FireClient to, for example give themselves a very over powered weapon in an FPS for example.

See the RemoteEvent:FireClient Documenation for a greater understanding.

Below I put an example of what your script should look like!

1local ExitCar = game.ReplicatedStorage.ShowExitCar
2 
3script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
4    if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
5        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Humanoid.Parent)
6        ExitCar:FireClient(player, true)
7    end
8end)

Let's look at the important lines of the code above!
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Humanoid.Parent) ExitCar:FireClient(player, true)

As you can see I grab the player instance that we are going to Fire the event to by using the :GetPlayerFromCharacter function!

I then fire the event to client by doing ExitCar:FireClient(player, true)

The true depends on what the arguments are in your LocalScript, but in this example I use to to signify that the player exits the vehicle is equal to true!

I hope I could help you today and help with your understanding of the :FireClient() event!
