(FE) Passing arguments print the parent of the script?

So I'm passing arguments through RemoteEvents and what seems to be happening is I would pass a key string from the client and on the server, it would print the local script's parent's name.

--Local Script (the parent is a tool named LBABall in Workspace)
function onKeyPress1(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
    local key = inputObject.keyCode
    if key then
        if (key == Enum.KeyCode.E) then
            ToolKeyDownEvent:FireServer(script.Parent, "E", keys)
        end
        if (key==Enum.KeyCode.Q) then
            ToolKeyDownEvent:FireServer(script.Parent, "Q", keys)
        end
    end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress1)

-- Server Script (the parent is ServerScriptService)
ToolKeyDownEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(parent, key, keys)
    print(key) -- This prints "LBABall"
    if key == "E" then
        print("E is running")
        keys[1]=true
        repeat 
            if parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value <= 90 then
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value+5
            else
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=100
            end
            wait(0.5)
        until keys[1]==false
    elseif key == "Q" then
        print("Q is running")
        keys[2]=true
        repeat
            if parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value >= 10 then
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value-5
            else
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=0
            end
            wait(.5)
        until keys[2]==false
    end
end)

This is because automatically, the first argument of OnServerEvent is the player who fired the remote. So, you just need to put the place where it sends the player who fired the remote to a different variable. For example, you could do

ToolKeyDownEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(_, parent, key, keys)
    print(key)
    if key == "E" then
        print("E is running")
        keys[1]=true
        repeat 
            if parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value <= 90 then
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value+5
            else
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=100
            end
            wait(0.5)
        until keys[1]==false
    elseif key == "Q" then
        print("Q is running")
        keys[2]=true
        repeat
            if parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value >= 10 then
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value-5
            else
                parent.Character.LBABall.PowerValue.Value=0
            end
            wait(.5)
        until keys[2]==false
    end
end)

Hope this helps!
