Why am I getting FireClient: player argument must be a Player object ?
Hello, I'am getting an error "Event:FireClient(hit.Parent)" I'm not sure why It doesn't works since it passes a player variable, I've tried changing it up but it doesn't seem to help.
1 | local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
2 | local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event") |
3 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
4 | print("Hit") |
5 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
6 | print("Human Hit") |
7 | Event:FireClient(hit.Parent) |
8 | end |
9 | end) |

hit.Parent only returns the player's character if touched by a player. The player's character is a Model and not the Player object. To get the Player object from the character Model, use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter().
01 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
03 | local Event = ReplicatedStorage.Event |
04 |
05 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
06 | print("Hit") |
07 |
08 | local character = hit.Parent |
09 | local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") |
10 | if character and humanoid then |
11 | print("Human Hit") |
12 |
13 | local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) |
14 | if player then |
15 | print("Player Hit") |
16 | Event:FireClient(player) |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end) |

The FireClient function requires the Player object, so it knows which client it will be firing to; since you put the player's character as the first argument, it will error (as it did) because it is not a player object.
You can get the character's player object by using Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter().
01 | local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
02 | local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event") |
03 |
04 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
05 | print("Hit") |
06 | local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
07 | if Player then |
08 | Event:FireClient(Player) |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
