Is there a way to Transfer a Variable from Server to Client?
Hello,
Is there a possible way to Transfer a Variable from Server to Client?
With RemoteEvents its not working because
Dev Wiki
Non-replicated Instances If the value being sent is only visible to the sender then nil will be passed instead of the value. For example, if a server tries to pass a descendant of ServerStorage, the client listening to the event will see nil passed as the value.
local part = Instance.new("Part", ServerStorage)
remoteEvent:FireClient(player, part)
In the above code, when the client receives the event it will only see nil passed in and will not have reference to the part.
Any Ideas?

Not sure what your end goal is. I can think of two things your end goal may be.
1 You want a part to be seen by only the client: Put the part into ReplicatedStorage, that way, the client already has access to it and it can make it's own instance of the part inside of a Local Script.
2 You want everyone to eventually see the part: Create the part inside of a server script and then pass the part to the client.
3 You want to send the client a secret part that it doesn't have access to: Why would you want to do this? This is what you are doing now and why the Local Script is seeing nil.
Example:
--[[Script]]--
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
remoteEvent:FireClient(player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
-- ========================================
--[[LocalScript]]--
local function Test()
local part = Instance.new("Part", ServerStorage)
part.Name = "PartTestRemoteEvent"
end
remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(Test)
