[SOLVED] "Unable to cast value to Object" when I'm just trying to fire a client with a RemoteEvent?

So I'm trying to make so whenever the stats save in my game with DataStore, it fires a client to pop up a GUI that shows that it's autosaving. Whenever I run the game, it pops with the error of "Unable to cast value to Object" which makes no sense to me because it has nothing to do with a value or an object. I'm a little new to RemoteEvents still, but I mainly am still trying to figure out how Server to Client works and all.

Server:

-- Had to cut the script short. It wouldn't let me post the question otherwise cause it was over 10,000 characters.
        while wait(20) do
            savingGui:FireClient("saving") -- This is where it says the problem is.
            if limitBreaker.Value ~= true then
                print("Saving "..player.Name.."'s Data . . .")
                if limitBreaker.Value ~= true then
                    slds:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.Stats.Strength.StrengthLevel.Value)
                    sxpds:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.Stats.Strength.StrengthXp.Value)
                end

                if limitBreaker.Value ~= true then
                    jlds:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.Stats.Jump.JumpLevel.Value)

Client:

local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local saveGui = repStorage:WaitForChild("Stats-Related"):WaitForChild("SavingGui")

local saveImage = script.Parent
local text = saveImage:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

local enabled = false

local openPose = UDim2.new(0.81, 0,0.022, 0)
local closePose = UDim2.new(1, 0,0.022, 0)

saveGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(stateOfSaving)
    if stateOfSaving == "saving" then
        enabled = true
        saveImage:TweenPosition(openPose,"Out","Quart",1)

        while enabled == true do -- To be honest, I don't think this is going to stop when the RemoteEvent is going to be fired, so help with how else to make this stop is also appreciated.
            text.Text = "Saving ."
            wait(1)
            text.Text = "Saving . ."
            wait(1)
            text.Text = "Saving . . ."
            wait(1)
        end

    elseif stateOfSaving == "saved" then
        wait(1)
        enabled = false
        text.Text = "Saved!"
        wait(0.5)
        saveImage:TweenPosition(closePose,"In","Quart",1)
        wait(1)
    end
end)

Sorry for the long server script, but just look at the comments to find where it says the problem is. Any help is appreciated though!

So, im currently at work but you should try this. Just change these 2 Lines in your script.

(Line 3)

You had it like this

savingGui:FireClient("saving")

But instead, try to do it like this.

Request = saving
savingGui:FireClient(Request)

and for (Line 114),(Line 55) do it like this

Request = save
savingGui:FireClient(Request)

In Localscript:

    local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local saveGui = repStorage:WaitForChild("Stats-Related"):WaitForChild("SavingGui")

    local saveImage = script.Parent
    local text = saveImage:WaitForChild("TextLabel")



    local openPose = UDim2.new(0.81, 0,0.022, 0)
    local closePose = UDim2.new(1, 0,0.022, 0)

    saveGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Request)
        if Request == "saving" then

            saveImage:TweenPosition(openPose,"Out","Quart",1)


                text.Text = "Saving ."
                wait(1)
                text.Text = "Saving . ."
                wait(1)
                text.Text = "Saving . . ."
                wait(1)


        elseif Request== "saved" then
            wait(1)

            text.Text = "Saved!"
            wait(0.5)
            saveImage:TweenPosition(closePose,"In","Quart",1)
            wait(1)
        end
    end)

Wait, I figured it out. Instead of savingGui:FireClient("saving") I needed to include player in it like savingGui:FireClient(player,"saving") Knineteen19 307 — 6y

Try it with savingGui:FireClient(player,Request) Paintertable 171 — 6y
