Help with receiving remoteEvents needed!?
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remotefunction = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
remotefunction:FireServer(player)
end)
I have a tool with a localscript containing the above. It is meant to fire the local player name to the server.
This is all I have for the server script:
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remotefunction = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
I need the server to receive the local player name from the remoteEvent. No tutorials were good at explaining so I came here. Help please!

Here we can make use of the event OnServerEvent [1]. It is used like so:
remote_event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p, arg1, arg2, arg3) -- etc. end)
where arg1, arg2 (and so on) are the arguments which are passed to FireServer(arg1, arg2) in a localscript.
In your case, an appropriate receiver for the RemoteEvent would look like this:
remote_event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p, player) -- etc.
print(player_arg.Name)
end)
What's more, we can make use of the engine's capability to automatically fill in the correct firing player. You may have noticed that I glossed over the p argument above. It turns out it's exactly what we need: a trusted way to tell which Player fired the RemoteEvent!
Put this in a server script:
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteevent = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
remoteevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p)
print(p.Name)
end)
and put this in a local script:
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remotefunction = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
remotefunction:FireServer() -- player argument will be automatically filled in by the server.
end)
