So i did this: LocalScript:

local target = script.Parent.Parent.target.Value
local sended = false

function send()
    if sended == false then
        local timer = tonumber(script.Parent.Time.Text)
        sended = true
        game.ReplicatedStorage.JailPlayer:FireServer(timer, target)
    end
end



script.Parent.Send.MouseButton1Click:Connect(send)

script.Parent.Parent.target.Changed:Connect(function()
    sended = false
end)

ServerScript in SSS:

game.ReplicatedStorage.JailPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(timer, target)
    game.Players:FindFirstChild(target).JailTime.Value = timer  
end)

And the player up here is a nil value ;(

First of all, there's no need to get the player using what you're doing.

When you use FireServer(), the player is already passed to the server script.

Example

LocalScript

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvent
event:FireServer()

ServerScript

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvent
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) -- player is already defined

end

So to fix your problems, simply change your server script to the following. (LocalScript needs no change)

Server Script

game.ReplicatedStorage.JailPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,timer, target)
    local targetPlayer = game:GetService("Players")[target]
    targetPlayer.JailTime.Value = timer   
end)

Let me edit my script. MythicalShade 420 — 5y

Now it should work as long as target is the name of a player MythicalShade 420 — 5y

It says that 300 is not a player and 300 is normally the timer it's so weird MaxDev_BE 55 — 5y
