[Solved] How do I transfer the mouse's CFrame between localscripts and scripts?
I just started programming in Roblox a few days ago, and I'm trying to make a tool that allows the player to teleport to his or her mouse cursor's location. I've got a remote event set up to alert the server that the tool's been used, but I don't know how to transfer the variable that has the mouse's CFrame to the script. Right now, I just have it set up to print the players' name. Could anyone tell me where to go from here?
LocalScript
local tpTool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local tpRemote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TPRemote")
function getMouseCFrame()
local mousePosition = mouse.Hit.Position
print(mousePosition)
tpRemote:FireServer()
end
tpTool.Activated:Connect(getMouseCFrame) --Running GetMouseCFrame when tool is clicked
Script
local function teleportPlayer(player)
print(player.Name)
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.TPRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(teleportPlayer)

In order to transfer Client to Server via Remote Events, you need to specify their Turple Arguments.
What this means is; After specifying that you wish for an Eventto be Fired, you need to state what part you wish to carry over.
So, in the line: tpRemote:FireServer()
Between the brackets you must state what you want to be sent over.
So in this case, it would be:
tpRemote:FireServer(mousePosition)
As that's what you want to be picked up.
Then, in your ServerScript, you need to require that argument.
game.ReplicatedStorage.TPRemote.OnServerEvent ( player , mousePosition ) -- Your code goes in here end)

You can add another variable to the OnServerEvent function;
Script:
local function teleportPlayer(player, mousePosition)
print(player.Name)
print(mousePosition)
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.TPRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(teleportPlayer)
Localscript:
function getMouseCFrame()
local mousePosition = mouse.Hit.Position
print(mousePosition)
tpRemote:FireServer(mousePosition) -- Player is passed automatically.
end
