OnServerEvent is not a valid member of RemoteEvent?
I've been trying to communicate between Clients and Servers via RemoteEvent. However, when I try to make a "function (remoteEvent Name).OnServerEvent()", there is an error saying "OnServerEvent is not a valid member of RemoteEvent". Please help, here is the code.
In the Client Script:
1 | -- all of this is previously defined |
2 | folder:WaitForChild("MG"):FireServer(plr, "on") |
In the Server Script:
1 | function folder.Reload.OnServerEvent(onOrOff) |
2 | -- code |
3 | end |

To listen for OnServerEvent, your script needs to be a Script, and vice versa. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 9y

My mistake, the second line of code is in the Server Script. u_g 90 — 9y

As eLunate said, OnServerEvent is an Event, not a callback. Saying something like:
1 | function Remote.OnServerEvent(...) |
2 | end |
Is the same as saying:
1 | Remote.OnServerEvent = function(...) |
2 | end |
You must use the connect method that binds your function to the event. Take this example:
1 | -- "Client" is automatically defined as the player of the local script who called the function. The first argument of this event will ALWAYS be the local player. |
2 |
3 | Remote.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Client,...) |
4 | end) |

Thanks. It works now, and thank you for explaining it more in-depth than eLunate did. u_g 90 — 9y
