RemoteEvent paramaters not being sent?

Asked 183 views1 answers

I have a LocalScript in a tool that will send a RemoteEvent to the server called 'messageSend', once a player chats in the chat. The RemoteEvent's paramaters should contain the player's name, and the player's message. However, once the server recieves the RemoteEvent, it appears that only the player's name has been sent, as when I print both, the player's username is printed twice, instead of once, followed by the player's message. Could you help please?

LocalScript:

player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	msg = tostring(msg)
	game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.messageSend:FireServer(player, msg)
end)

ServerScript:

local function eventFired(player, msg)
	print(player.Name)
	print(msg)
end

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.messageSend.OnServerEvent:Connect(eventFired)

You don't need to pass player as an argument with FireServer, only FireClient.

Yes I do, as I am wanting the fire all clients in the serverscript after I have the paramaters figured out.

You only need to fire "msg" to the server. Player is always the first parameter in the server, what you sent to the server was (player, player, msg). Roblox automatically sends the player, so all you needed to do is fire (msg) to the server. Then msg is always your 2nd parameter after player.

Client:

player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
    msg = tostring(msg)
    game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.messageSend:FireServer(msg) --1 parameter
end)

Server:

local function eventFired(player, msg)
    print(player.Name)
    print(msg)
end

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.messageSend.OnServerEvent:Connect(eventFired)
