How would I get the user id of the player that fired a remote event? I tried this code but it didn't work:
local item = script.Parent
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.WoodenSword
local clonedTool = tool:Clone()
local id = LocalPlayer.UserId -- Local player didn't work
item.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent1:FireSrver()
end)
Well you have not defined player, here let me help you.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- gets running client
local UserID = Player.UserId
print(UserID)
Also, I've noticed a spelling mistake on line 06. Change FireSrver() to FireServer()
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent1:FireServer()
If you are wanting to get UserId from server, it's a lot easier thank you think.
Upon a remote being fired, a parameter of player is automatically sent over.
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent1.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
print(Player.UserId)
end)

And assuming you want the UserId to server, when firing a RemoteEvent, player is automatically fired over as a parameter. So you could automatically get UserId from the server.
Thank you so much! I have been looking everywhere for this! Thanks!
