Why is my remote event passing along bad data?

Asked by

I'm trying to have a local script fire a remote event to the server that allows a player to join a team of their choosing. The exact error message I receive is

16:45:25.304 - Workspace.Event Handler:10: attempt to index local 'playa' (a nil value)

Through printing what playerName and teamName are in the server script I've determined that both varibles are the string "stardon" Why? One should be a team and not a text string.

Here are my scripts

Local GUI script

function click()
    --Arguments to pass toward the server script
    local PN = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name
    local targetTN = game.Teams[script.Parent.Text]

    --Pass em' to the server
    local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local GiveMeJob = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GiveMeJob")

    GiveMeJob:FireServer(PN, targetTN)
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(click)

Server Event Handling Script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local GiveMeJob = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GiveMeJob")
local spawns = game.Workspace.SpawnLocations:GetChildren()

local function hereIsJob(playerName, teamName)
    wait(0.1)
    print(teamName)
    local targetTeamColor = teamName.TeamColor
    local playa = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerName)
    playa.Team = teamName

    for i=1, #spawns do
        if spawns[i].teamName == targetTeamColor then
            playa.Character:MoveTo(spawns[i].Position + Vector3.new(0,10,0))
        end
    end
end
GiveMeJob.OnServerEvent:Connect(hereIsJob)

Try 'local PN = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name' thesit123 509 — 6y

I'm having the same problem. It still thinks both values I pass along are "stardon" stardon 12 — 6y

The first argument of a remote event sent from client-server is already the player's name automatically, your first two arguments both send the player name and the third argument isn't received by the server Vulkarin 581 — 6y
