FireClient: player argument must be a Player object?

local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") local plankRemote = repStorage:WaitForChild("plankRemote") local planksTrigger = game.Workspace.FallingPlanks.PlankTrigger planksTrigger.Touched:Connect(function(hit) local player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") if player then print("touched") plankRemote:FireClient(player) end end)

✓ Accepted answer

The problem is that you're referencing the character as the player value. the FireClient function requires that you have the player object as the input, not the character.

local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local plankRemote = repStorage:WaitForChild("plankRemote")
local planksTrigger = game.Workspace.FallingPlanks.PlankTrigger

planksTrigger.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if player then
	   print("touched")
	   plankRemote:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player))
    end
end)

Thank you, although I'm now getting this error: " Player is not a valid member of DataModel"; any ideas?

Oops it was supposed to be game.Players not game.Player.
