Why doesn't my RemoteEvent work?

I made a script that calls a RemoteEvent to determine what you are playing as. I put a value in the player's backpack so if it equals something you play as that character. But for some reason my RemoteEvent isn't working. Here is the script for calling the RemoteEvent.

1if Class.Value == 1 or
2    Class.Value == 0 then
3    game.Lightning.TestCharacter1.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
4end

and here is the script for the RemoteEvent

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02Folder = script.Parent
03Event = Folder.IsChar1
04 
05 
06script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
07                player.Character.LowerTorso.Transparency = 0

15    Sleeve.Anchored = false
16    Sleeve.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Maroon")
17     Sleeve.Size = Vector3.new(1.11, 1.2, 1.07)
18    local w = Instance.new("Weld", Sleeve)
19    w.Part0 = player.Character.RightUpperArm
20    w.Part1 = Sleeve

^ is suppose to tell me if every part is welded to the player.

OnServerEvent is used inside ServerScripts. OnClientEvent is used in localscripts. RubenKan 3615 — 8y

So do i attach OnClientEvents into the starterpack or something? rexpex 45 — 8y

A Server Event should be fired in a local script and handled in a server script as I can see you handled it in local script which is wrong.

There is no need to make player variable because you get that variable by default using

`1`	`RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)` `--- player variable`

so basically FireServer() should be used in local script and OnServerEvent should be used in server script.

Read this article for more info

The player variable is absolutely required since he's connecting to the event from a local script, not a server script. P100D 590 — 8y

FYI, .OnServerEvent() and .OnServerInvoke() automatically have the player passed as an argument UltimateRaheem 75 — 8y

You're using the wrong functions in the wrong scripts. You're firing the server from a server script, and then connecting to a server event from a local script.

Here's a rundown of RemoteEvent functions:

Use on server scripts only:

:FireClient(player) - Fires the event for only <player>
:FireAllClients() - Fires the event for all clients
.OnServerEvent(player) - Fires when the event is fired from client <player>

Use on local scripts only:

:FireServer() - Fires the event on the server
.OnClientEvent() - Fires when the event is fired from the server

Make sure you're using these right and your RemoteEvent should work properly.
