I made an object with a server script inside, a remote event inside player character scripts, and a remote event inside replicated Storage. The thing works inside studio, but In-game it says Fireclient argument must be a player object. Any ideas? Thank you. this is server script

view source
01--Declare
02--GameServices
03local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
04local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
05local repSto = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
06 
07--Items
08local fooPic = script.Parent
09local AddValueEvent = repSto:WaitForChild("FoodPickupEvent")
10 
11--Process
12local function FireServerWhenTouched (hit, plr)
13    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
14        fooPic:Destroy()
15        AddValueEvent:FireClient(plr)

The touch event is only passing in "hit". Your "plr" is then nil.

To get the player you have to find the character and then the player.

view source
1local function FireServerWhenTouched (hit)
2    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
3        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
4        fooPic:Destroy()
5        AddValueEvent:FireClient(plr)
6    end
7end

I was surfing your script and I immediately noticed a deadly error, you cannot call the "LocalPlayer" in a server script. It may only be called in a local script, on the client. Try fixing that and if it works, accept this answer. If not, please let me know any more errors by commenting down below. Thanks!
