table passed through FireClient becomes empty?
SERVER
...
local playerspets = a:getTable()
print(#playerspets) -- This prints the correct length of the table
drawinv:FireClient(player, playerspets)
end
LOCALSCRIPT
...
draw.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerpets)
print(#playerpets) -- This prints 0 aka the incorrect length
Maybe i'm missing something but I've been stuck on this for a while. If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

When you send a table like that, a copy of the table is received/sent, and any metatable data is lost, as well as non-numerical indices (I think) User#19524 175 — 5y

See this section of the Wiki page on Remote Functions & Events for the limitations on data sent over the network: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Remote_Functions_%26_Events#Limitations WillieTehWierdo200 966 — 5y

Hm, I must have missed that oops. So how would I go about getting a serverside table to the client? I currently have the players pets set in a folder in ServerStorage and I need to get it on a local script :( youracannonball 5 — 5y

if you want to print the length then just fire the value of the length, not the whole table, like this:
Server:
...
local playerspets = a:getTable()
drawinv:FireClient(player, #playerspets)
end
Client:
...
draw.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerpets)
print(playerpets)
Hope this helped

Sadly I have to get the values of that table, I was just using print to see if it was getting the values. Although i'm kinda lost on how id go about getting that table if I can't pass it through. Any ideas? youracannonball 5 — 5y
