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!
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?

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)
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
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 :(
