First of all, if you aren’t expecting a return in the client, then use a RemotEvent instead of a RemoteFunction. However, the issue here is remote events and functions on the server get an extra argument, which is the Player object of the client who fired it. So instead of your function arguments being getWeaponInformation(weaponInformation), they need to be getWeaponInformation(plr, weaponInformation). Don’t add the extra player argument to be fired from the clientside, only expect it on the server.

When calling a RemoteFunction or RemoteEvent, the first argument on the server is the player who called it. So all you have to do is take account for that and everything else should work.

function getWeaponInformation(player,weaponInformation)
