Why RemoteEvent is taking my player instead of taking what is in FireServer?

--------------------------
--Script(ServerScriptService)
local money = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerMoney")
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.CashGui

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerText, Cash)
    money[PlayerText.Text].Value = money[PlayerText.Text].Value + Cash.Text
end)
--------------------------


-- LocalScript(gui)

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.CashGui
local money = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerMoney")
local Send = script.Parent.GiveCash

function Smart()
    local PlayerText = script.Parent.PlayerText
    local Cash = script.Parent.CashText
    local plr = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(PlayerText.Text)
    if plr then
    event:FireServer(PlayerText, Cash)
    else
        print(PlayerText.Text.. " is Offline.")
    end
end
Send.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Smart)

Error:

--Text is not a valid member of Player

-- Script 'ServerScriptService.CashGUi', Line 6

The problem is that when you fire a remote event, you will always instantly receive a parameter for the player, no matter if you provide it as an argument or not. Therefore the roblox server is regarding your first parameter as the player and is causing your script to error. Here is the line you need to fix to make it work.

--Straight to line 6
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, PlayerText, Cash) --Change line 6 to this line and your script will be working just fine.

I went for a look at LocalScript and it was FireServer (plr, Cash) dizzy ToddyWars 41 — 5y
