In my game, I'm working on making it work with filtering enabled. The issue is however, that this script can't detect haul which is defined on line 9, even though it's in the workspace. I don't know what is causing the connection error and can't seem to figure another way of doing this. If anyone could tell me why Haul won't connect, I would be very thankful. Here is the server script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local colorChangeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Release")
local active = false

local function press(player, x)
	wait()
	local plr = player
	local char = player.Character
	local haul = char:findFirstChild("Haul")
	char.Latched.Value = false
	if haul.Value.Parent.Primary.Value == char then
		if haul.Value.Parent.Players.Number.Value > 1 then
			local torch = 1
			local max = haul.Part0.Parent.Players.Max.Value
			repeat
			local num = haul.Part0.Parent.Players:findFirstChild(torch)
			if num == nil then
				torch = torch + 1
				end
			if num ~= nil then
			haul.Value.Parent.Primary.Value = num
			num.Value.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
			num.Value.Humanoid.JumpPower = char.Humanoid.JumpPower
			num.Humanoid.PlatformStand = false
			end
			until num ~= nil or torch == max
		else
		haul.Value.Parent.Primary.Value = nil	
		end
	else
		local c = haul.Value.Parent.Players:GetChildren()
		for index, item in pairs(c) do
			if item:IsA("ObjectValue") and item.Value == char then
				item:remove()
			end
		end
	end
	haul.Value.Parent.Strength.Value = haul.Value.Parent.Strength.Value - char.Strength.Value
	haul.Value.Parent.Players.Number.Value = haul.Value.Parent.Players.Number.Value - 1
	haul.Value.Haul.Part0 = nil
	char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = char.plrSpeed.Value
	char.Humanoid.JumpPower = char.plrJump.Value
	char.Humanoid.PlatformStand = false
	wait(.5)
	char.plrJump:remove()
	char.plrSpeed:remove()
	haul.Value.Haul.Part1 = nil
	haul.Value.Taken.Value = false
	haul.Value.Haul:remove()
	haul:remove()
end
colorChangeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(press)

And here is the client script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local colorChangeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Release")
plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
debounce = false


function buy()
	colorChangeEvent:FireServer()
	script.Parent.Parent.Selectable = false
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(buy)

Just capitalize the “f” in “:FindFirstChild()”?

That's not the problem I'm afraid... I use it that way all the time for other scripts and they all work fine, so something else is up...

Does the script return any errors in the output?

I'm confused by this code. Can you explain what is "haul.Value.Parent.Primary.Value"? Do you have objects named 'Value' and 'Parent'? That is probably not the best idea, as parent refers to the object's parent already! So 'haul.Value.Parent' is really just 'haul', if 'Value' is even an object and not a property like the 'Value' at the end.

Haul is an object value, so haul.Value.Parent is referring to the parent of the object that is specified in haul. It's a bit confusing but it does work. Also, it does send back errors. They only say however, that haul is a nil value. Another thing to note however is that the script runs fine on test mode, meaning that the problem is simply with the client and server communicating.

Line 34 change remove to Destroy. Stay up to date and listen to Denny. Scripting is case sensitive. And on line 33 change to if item.ClassName == "ObjectValue" then, because anything can inherit from objectvalue.

And also at the very last line, change :connect to :Connect

I think I found a problem in another script actually. It seems that the errors from this one hadn't been mistakes because it seems that the scripts setting up the haul have broken. I'm very sorry about that...
