Greetings fellow humans,

I am here to ask if its possible to get a player from a remote event. (which you can tell from the title)

I have put the following localscript inside of a text button:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    game.ServerScriptService.StarterEvents.Player:FireServer()
end)

And the following script inside of ServerScriptStorage:

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    if player.Name == "xTriton" then
        print'cool'
    end
end)

Can a player pass through a parameter using remote events or do i need a remote function for that?

(in case your wondering i started using remote events yesterday so cut me some slack.)

Well no, ahhh I'm joking the player is always the first parameter no matter what so the answer is yes GameBoyOtaku 63 — 5y

EDIT: theking48989987 is right, nothing can be accessed in ServerScriptService, so put the RemoteEvent to e.g Replicated Storage When you Fire a RemoteEvent, the first argument automatically will be the player. So if game.ServerScriptService.StarterEvents.Player is a RemoteEvent, your localscript is correct, and your script in serverscriptservice.. script.Parent (if your script's parent is really Server Script Service) is SSS. Use your remoteevent's name, as in the localscript: game.ServerScriptService.StarterEvents.Player.OnServerEvent ... Change this one thing and it will work

Thanks for the answer :D. sonysunny 36 — 5y

You are welcome :) Miniller 562 — 5y

clients cant access anything in server script service or server storage, so having a remote event there is useless. theking48989987 2147 — 5y
