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:
-- all of this is previously defined
folder:WaitForChild("MG"):FireServer(plr, "on")
In the Server Script:
function folder.Reload.OnServerEvent(onOrOff)
-- code
end
As eLunate said, OnServerEvent is an Event, not a callback. Saying something like:
function Remote.OnServerEvent(...)
end
Is the same as saying:
Remote.OnServerEvent = function(...)
end
You must use the connect method that binds your function to the event. Take this example:
-- "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.
Remote.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Client,...)
end)
Thanks. It works now, and thank you for explaining it more in-depth than eLunate did.
OnServerEvent is an Event, and not a callback. You'll need to do OnServerEvent:connect(func) instead of OnServerEvent = func
Still doesn't work.

To listen for OnServerEvent, your script needs to be a Script, and vice versa.
My mistake, the second line of code is in the Server Script.
