Server Script Gives Nil Error When Trying To Find Player, How to Fix?
So I'm making a kick gui using functions
the local script works already but for some reason the server script isn't
local ReplicatedStorage = script.Parent.Parent
local RemoveEvent = ReplicatedStorage.kick
RemoveEvent.Name = "kick"
ReplicatedStorage.kick.OnServerEvent:connect(function(v1,v2)
print('test')
local kname = v1
print(kname)
local kreason = v2
local kp = game.Players:FindFirstChild(kname)
print(kp.Name)
print('test2')
kp:Kick(kreason)
end)
I keep getting this error
attempt to index local 'kp' (a nil value)
EDIT:
here is the localscript
local ReplicatedStorage = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Functions
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("kick")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local v1 = script.Parent.Parent.kickname.Text
local v2 = script.Parent.Parent.kickreason.Text
print(v1..' | '..v2)
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(v1) then
RemoteEvent:FireServer(v1,v2)
print(v1..' dadd | dadd '..v2)
end
end)

The reason is simple. The first parameter you get from OnServerEvent is the actual player instance. So you don't need the code on line 10 since you already have the player. If you wanted you could say local kp = game.Players:FindFirstChild(v1.Name)
Also, it would be great if you could say on what line you get the error. It makes it easier to debug.
local ReplicatedStorage = script.Parent.Parent
local RemoveEvent = ReplicatedStorage.kick
RemoveEvent.Name = "kick"
ReplicatedStorage.kick.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Player,Reason)
Player:Kick(tostring(Reason))
end)
(Why do you on line 2 set the variable as ReplicatedStorage.kick and then on line 3 rename it to kick again, when it's already named kick?)

local ReplicatedStorage = script.Parent.Parent local RemoveEvent = ReplicatedStorage.kick RemoveEvent.Name = "kick"
ReplicatedStorage.kick.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, v1,v2) -- SOLUTION: ADD PLAYER VALUE print('test') local kname = v1 print(kname) local kreason = v2 local kp = game.Players:FindFirstChild(kname) print(kp.Name) print('test2') kp:Kick(kreason) end)
