How can I Send over strings via Remote Events? Client-Server
Hello, so I've got a little problem In my game I'm making a feature that makes it so a player can type a string into a textbox and then it will be sent over to a script, but there is one problem that I encountered and that is that I have no way of sending over the string. I know about remote events and stuff but I can't seem to wrap my head around how you are supposed to use the parameters in the remote Event.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:
Local Script:
-- Local Script
local RepS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
-- let's say that the string is already defined and I am going to send it over to the server script
local TheStringIWantToSendOver = "ThisIsTheMessage"
RepS.MyRemoteEvent:FireServer() -- How would I be able to send over the string in line 7 through the Remote Event and for the script to receive the information.
Server Script:
-- Server Script
local RepS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
RepS.MyRemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local MyVariable = "" -- How could my string from the local script end up here?
end)

The remote event on server when gets triggered by the client it receives an first argument which is the player.
Server:
RepS.MyRemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, variable) print(variable) --to make sure the server received it end)
Client:
local TheStringIWantToSendOver = "ThisIsTheMessage" RepS.MyRemoteEvent:FireServer(TheStringIWantToSendOver)
Note that on the cllient you don't gotta speciffy player argument, roblox automatic does that for you on client but not on server. If it didn't work let me know!
