OnServerEvent is not recieving tuple arguments, whats wrong?

Asked Jan 28, 2020322 views2 answers

I've looked on here at different scenarios, but my server script still isn't receiving tuple arguments that i have sent from my local script. Please help

in localscript: (event is the RemoteEvent that is being fired)

event:FireServer("Fire", endpos, hit)

in server script i have this:

event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Client,...)
	local tuple = {...}
	if tuple[1] == "Fire" then
		local endpos = tuple[2]
		local hit = tuple[3]
				--more code
	end
end)

first post if you need to see more lmk

I think OnServerEvent's first argument is always the player from the client that triggered the request

if you are receiving the tuple arguments in a table, you have to send them in a table. Try this:

(localscript)

local tuple = {"Fire", endpos, hit}
event:FireServer(tuple)

(script)

event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Client, tuple) -- you don't need to rewrite a table cuz it's already in a table form.
	if tuple[1] == "Fire" then
	        local endpos = tuple[2]
	        local hit = tuple[3]
		-- more code
	end
end)

Oop. Try this: LocalScript

event:FireServer("Fire", endpos, hit)

Script

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(thing1,thing2,thing3)
	print("Fired")
	if thing1 == "Fire" then
		local endpos = thing2
		local hit = thing3
	end
end

If this does not work, try to add brackets such as these {} to store the data event:FireServer({"Fire",endpos,hit})
