:FireServer results in "cant address nil value"?

The error is probably at Line 8, where you're trying to set the Baseplate.Touched connection. Touched is an event and events take functions as either an anonymous function:

Or as a predefined function

The point to note in the second case is that you have to pass the function and not call it. If you have knowledge about functions returning values, you know that calling foo() will return whatever the function returns or simply nil if nothing is returned. Implementing this in your script we see that

To fix this simply remove the brackets after onF to prevent calling it:

That's how you can solve the error!

On another note, you should use your testevent variable in onF now that you defined it

Feel free to ask any questions you have

Improvements

Use :WaitForChild() to make sure something exists before using it [since you are using FindFirstChild, if the "child" is not found, the value will be nil]

Use GetService() for the Players Service

Use workspace instead of game.Workspace

You have the local "testevent" that you're not even using where the reference could be made

Issues

If your script is only in ReplicatedStorage, then unless its being cloned into the Workspace or ServerScriptService, it will not be run (if this is the case, place it in the ServerScriptService)

There are no parameters for the "onF" function, so don't include it in the connection, these additional parentheses are not required as they would be in a language like Java.

Revised Local Script

You can keep the connection separate like so:

but if this is the only place its used, then just connect it directly like in your serverscript

Revised Server Script

I'm gonna try and cover everything, here. So uh, here we go. So, let's start with your local script

You have about 2 unused variables, repstorage, and testevent. (Assuming you're using the mouse for something else in the script) If you don't use them, why have them?

I think you got variables mixed up, so here: "A variable is a name you can use to hold a value. In Lua, a variable can have any Data Types, such as a Number or a String." From: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Variables

And when you're running a function from a connect it would be :Connect(onF) not :Connect(OnF())

So the correct script here would be

Now, your script/server script

Again, unused variables The correct script here, would be:

You probably noticed that in one script, we used the variables, and in the other, we didn't. It doesn't matter for this case.

So, I noticed you didn't check if it was a player that touched it, since even if a part touches it, it would trigger the function.

So, how would you check if it was a player that touched it? Here.

Also, I've also noticed that you're detecting the touch on the client and firing an event to the server, you can skip the whole remote firing thing and detect the touched on the server instead.

So, if we place a script under baseplate it would look something like this:

Also, I used a couple different scripting styles as you can notice. In the last one I didn't use a function, functions aren't a necessity but they just makes things neat and tidy. You can read more about functions here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Function I know not the best of explaining for this question, but I tried my best lol. Goodluck!
