How can i send arguments from Client to Server?

I'm still trying to figure out FireClient so imma need some help here. I have this script where when a player joins it copy's something in replicated Storage. Once it copies it It sends a Remote Event to the server which tells it to loop its BodyPosition to The Players Torso. But The arguments for some reason won't work. Here are my errors are

20:10:39.390 - Player is not a valid member of DataModel

Local Script


game.ReplicatedStorage.DoDun.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player,Part)
    local bp = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
    bp.Parent = Part
    bp.P = 20000        local Part = game.ReplicatedStorage["Creation Replicator"]:Clone()
        Part.Parent = workspace
    bp.Position = game.Player.Character.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(-2,0,0).Position
    wait()
    bp:Destroy()
end)

Server Script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
        local Part = game.ReplicatedStorage["Creation Replicator"]:Clone()
        Part.Parent = workspace
while true do
    wait()          
    game.ReplicatedStorage.DoDun:FireClient(Part)
end
end)

You didn't specify which player's client to fire, you did "FireClient(Part)." FireClient needs the player who's client is to be fired as the first argument. Try FireClient(Player, Part). iColorDev -2 — 5y

Also, it looks as if you are trying to create a bodyposition and a part in a local script. This will not work, as those changes will not replicate. Those changes should be made in the server script. iColorDev -2 — 5y

So do i put the same aruguments in OnClientEvent() So OnClientEvent(Player,Part)? GGButNO_RE 61 — 5y

No, why pass the player in OnClientEvent? User#19524 175 — 5y

For the OnClientEvent() the only argument you should need is Part. OnClientEvent(Part). iColorDev -2 — 5y

This is because the `Players` service is named `Players`, not `Player`. You also tried to fire a `RemoteEvent` to a `BasePart`, which will throw an error. You also do NOT pass the player in `OnClientEvent`, as the server fires that remote, not the player. Simply just pass the `Part`.

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer  

game.ReplicatedStorage.DoDun.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Part)
    local bp = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
    bp.P = 20000  
    bp.Position = Player.Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() + CFrame.new(-2,0,0).p -- CFrame has no position property! it has a p tho!
    bp.Parent = Part -- parent last!
    wait()
    bp:Destroy()
end)

-- Server! 

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
        local Part = game.ReplicatedStorage["Creation Replicator"]:Clone()
        -- clone from only one or the other! there will be 2 parts if cloned from both!
        Part.Parent = workspace
while true do
    wait()          
    game.ReplicatedStorage.DoDun:FireClient(Player, Part) -- send player and part!
end
end)
