Remote Event prints "nil" instead of IntValue I fired with it?

Alright, I am making an audio system, and I wanna make sure it works with printing, but instead, it prints "nil" Okay, so here's my client part of the script:

01local SoundService = game:GetService("SoundService")
02local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
03local revent = ReplicatedStorage.SoundEvent
04local frame = script.Parent
05local song1 = frame.song1
06local cooldown = 7
07local debounce = false
08local song1id = 2518263386--This is what I want the normal script to print just to test.
09local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
10 
11 
12song1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player,song1id)
13if not debounce then
14debounce = true
15revent:FireServer(player,song1id)--I fire the songid too.
16wait(cooldown)
17debounce = false
18    end
19end)

That's the localscript, and this below is the actual script:

01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local revent = ReplicatedStorage.SoundEvent
03local soundbox = script.Parent.Sound
04local audio = script.Parent.Sound.SoundId
05 
06 
07local function test(player,song1id)
08audio = song1id
09print(song1id)
10end
11 
12 
13 
14 
15revent.OnServerEvent:Connect(test)

When I click the gui button, instead I just get "nil", can somebody tell me why?

Take out the player argument from FireServer()? jalbraek 29 — 5y

A lot of the people who I talked to yesterday about something similar said player is always supposed to be there, and be first. I might make a logs system too later, so I'm keeping it. VoidKeyword 111 — 5y

The problem is, GUIObject.MouseButton1Click doesn't call the connecting function with anything.. however, in your (LocalScript) code on line 12, the function that handles the MouseButton1Click has 2 arguments, therefore, both arguments will be nil once the event fires.

also, whenever a LocalScript does RemoteEvent:FireServer, the OnServerEvent handling functions will be called with the player that called FireServer and then all other arguments that you pass to it.. therefore, you don't need to pass player to FireServer, roblox automatically does it for you

EDIT:

LocalScript

01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local revent = ReplicatedStorage.SoundEvent
03local frame = script.Parent
04local song1 = frame.song1
05local cooldown = 7
06local debounce = false
07local song1id = 2518263386--This is what I want the normal script to print just to test.
08local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
09 
10 
11song1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
12    if not debounce then
13        debounce = true
14        revent:FireServer(song1id)--I fire the songid too.
15        wait(cooldown)
16        debounce = false
17    end
18end)

Server Side

01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local revent = ReplicatedStorage.SoundEvent
03local soundbox = script.Parent.Sound
04local audio = script.Parent.Sound.SoundId
05 
06 
07 
08function test(player,song1id)
09    audio = song1id
10    print(song1id)
11end
12 
13revent.OnServerEvent:Connect(test)

So what are you saying I need to do? I already placed song1id in both parentheses in the localscript and also did it in the other script. VoidKeyword 111 — 5y

lemme edit my answer to show you. User#23252 26 — 5y

So you're saying I don't put the parentheses in the function part? VoidKeyword 111 — 5y

Huh, I guess that is the case. Thanks! VoidKeyword 111 — 5y

what do you mean? User#23252 26 — 5y

Remote Event prints "nil" instead of IntValue I fired with it?
