:FireServer results in "cant address nil value"?

i have this localscript in startergui:

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:FindFirstChild("test")
mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
function onF()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.test:FireServer()
end

game.Workspace.Baseplate.Touched:Connect(onF())

and this script in ReplicatedStorage

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:FindFirstChild("test")

game.ReplicatedStorage.test.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	
	print("test")
	
end)

and, obviously a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage named test.

Thing is, when something touches it just outputs "cant address nil value"

Google hasn't yielded anything about it.

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

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:WaitForChild("test")
local mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

workspace:WaitForChild("Baseplate").Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	testevent:FireServer()
end)

You can keep the connection separate like so:

local function onF()
	testevent:FireServer()
end

workspace:WaitForChild("Baseplate").Touched:Connect(onF)

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

Revised Server Script

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:WaitForChild("test")

testevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	print("test")
end)

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

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:FindFirstChild("test")
mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
function onF()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.test:FireServer()
end

game.Workspace.Baseplate.Touched:Connect(onF())

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

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:FindFirstChild("test")

function onF()
    testevent:FireServer()
end

game.Workspace.Baseplate.Touched:Connect(onF)

Now, your script/server script

local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local testevent = repstorage:FindFirstChild("test")

game.ReplicatedStorage.test.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()

    print("test")

end)

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

game.ReplicatedStorage.test.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	print("test")
end)

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.

game.Workspace.Baseplate.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --hit here is a variable of the part that touched it, in this case a body part
	local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") --so script.Parent would be the character, and hum here would be the Humanoid.
	if hum then --If it exists, then:
		print("a player touched it!")
	end
end)

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:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local hum = hit.Parent.FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if hum then
		print("test")
	end
end)

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!
