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'

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

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
