Remote Function Value cast to Object?
I'm having a little trouble using RemoteFunction. I am trying to have a LocalScript in StarterGUI return something to a Script in a Part in Workspace. This is an excerpt from the Script:
1 | local gcm = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("getClientMouse") |
2 | local mouse = gcm:InvokeClient(playerName, nil) |
It keeps giving me an error with the second line, saying 'unable to cast value to Object' I'm not sure why this is In case you need my LocalScript code
1 | remotefunction = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("getClientMouse") |
2 |
3 | function remotefunction.OnClientInvoke(playerName) |
4 | print(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().ClassName) |
5 | return game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
6 | end |

Are you sure you're invoking the client with the actual Player object? or you're invoking with the name as the variable seems to represent SulaymanArafat 230 — 6y

also why did you write nil in the 2nd argument SulaymanArafat 230 — 6y

Because it says in the API that the 2nd argument is a required Tuple so since I didn't have one I just put nil fa_QURobloxXD 29 — 6y

can the server even access the player mouse? the8bitdude11 358 — 6y

Nope, you need to use a LocalScript in StarterGui because Player:GetMouse() only works in LocalScripts fa_QURobloxXD 29 — 6y

when you're not going to need the Tuple just don't write the 2nd argument as it is the same as if you wrote nil SulaymanArafat 230 — 6y

you are invoking the client with a string if I'm right (as it says playerName...) if you don't have the player reference, try this:
1 | -- Server Script |
2 | local gcm = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("getClientMouse") |
3 | local player = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(playerName) |
4 | local mouse = gcm:InvokeClient(player) |
also the function in the localscripts the parameter (playerName) you specified is actually nil as when you invoke to a client you dont get the player since it's a request sent by the server and you don't need the player parameter when you're actually the player

Yeah, I completely forgot that the first argument type was Player. Double thumbs up for inferring correctly and solving my problem! fa_QURobloxXD 29 — 6y
