Problem with RemoteEvent firing, help?
LocalScript
main:WaitForChild("giveBtn").MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
re:FireServer("giveTicket",main:WaitForChild("main"))
end)
Server Script
re.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr,event,main)
if event == "giveTicket" then
print(main.Name)
end
end)
"main" is a Frame that I want to pass to a Server Script so the script can grab text from it and it keeps outputting this
ServerScriptService.TicketSystemHandler_ss:15: attempt to index local 'main' (a nil value) Script 'ServerScriptService.TicketSystemHandler_ss', Line 15 Stack End
I know the variables definitely exist since I can print their names in the LocalScript, can anyone help? If you need the full script just ask

The Issue
Anything created on the client remains only on the client. When using StarterGui to provide the client with GUI, the parented Instances are cloned locally to the player's PlayerGui. Your current script passes an Instance that exists only on the client into re:FireServer(). When the server receives the signal, the argument will be nil.
The Solution
Simply pass the value of main.Name itself, or any other property of the Instance that you need.
Nitpicks
RBXScriptSignal:connect()is deprecated in favour ofRBXScriptSignal:Connect().
The Code
LocalScript
main:WaitForChild("giveBtn").MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
re:FireServer("giveTicket", main:WaitForChild("main").Name)
end)
Script
re.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, event, main_name)
if event == "giveTicket" then
print(main_name)
end
end)
I hope this helped!
