Why is the string not being passed as an argument into the server script?
Local script:
clr is not a variable but from what I have read it does not have to be since it means player.
Target = mouse.Target.Name print(Target) InventoryIncrease:FireServer(clr,Target) mouse.Target:Destroy()
Server script:
InventoryIncrease.OnServerEvent:connect(function(clr,Target)
print(clr)
print(Target)
game.ServerStorage.Inventory[clr].InventoryStuff[Target].Value = game.ServerStorage.Inventory[clr][Target].Value + 1
end)
Output:
Grass shabbs15 nil 16:00:35.901 - Workspace.Communication:40: bad argument #2 to '?' (string expected, got Object) 16:00:35.902 - Stack Begin 16:00:35.903 - Script 'Workspace.Communication', Line 40 16:00:35.903 - Stack End
As you can see, I pass the text "grass" to the server but it returns nil when I print in server. Filtering enabled is on as well.

In remote events, whenever a client fires to the server, the player's name who fired it is always the first argument. I think you misunderstood the Wiki. You need not need to put a place holder variable for the player as the game will think it is another variable you need to pass. Example:
--Client script RemoteEvent:FireServer(plrPlaceholder, data)
--Server script
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plrName, plrPlaceholder, data)
print(plrName)--will print your name
print(plrPlaceholder)--nil because it isn't a thing
print(data)--will print your data
end
In remote events, the player name is always the first argument, you cannot put a place holder for it. Just remove the placeholder and it should work.
Edit: So the values passed should be: clr == player who fired; target == nil(nil because the plrPlaceholder was nil) so "grass" never gets a chance to be in the script because of only two arguments, not all the three being.. Uh... Recognized I guess?
