Server Script is Printing the LocalPlayer's Name?
Working with remotes in a game, why does this script print the LocalPlayer's name?
1 | -- Local Script |
2 |
3 | if t.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
4 | local cTarget = t.Parent |
5 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent) |
6 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then |
7 | script["RemoteEvent"]:FireServer(cTarget) -- Sends cTarget to the ServerScript |
8 | print(cTarget) -- Part works and prints the correct value |
9 | end |
1 | -- Server Script |
2 |
3 | script.Parent.Parent["RemoteEvent"].OnServerEvent:connect(function(cTarget) |
4 | print(cTarget) -- Prints LocalPlayer's name for some reason |
5 | end) |

You're sending the LocalPlayer's character through FireServer which the OnServerEvent will then have two parameters given (Assumed by reading this). The first is the player communicating and second would be the character model you sent. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

It prints the player's name because the first argument to your callback function connected to OnServerEvent is always the player who fired the remote event. If the player serves no purpose in your situation then just use a placeholder variable.
1 | script.Parent.Parent["RemoteEvent"].OnServerEvent:Connect(function(_, cTarget) |
2 | print(cTarget) |
3 | end) |
This should properly print what you sent.
Also I don't understand why the remote event is in script.Parent.Parent. It should be in somewhere like replicated storage.

The reason it uses script.Parent.Parent is because its stored inside a tool for a target based attack H26O 44 — 6y

Oh my bad. I assumed it was in a GUI or something. User#24403 69 — 6y

The first argument passed by OnServerEvent will by default be the player.
