I have a gui with two buttons for two classes you can select. When you select a class, it needs to be datastored, so I created a remotefunction and linked the class (string) to my server script. The server then updates the store and sends the class string back to the client (for a gui). Upon being called, studio errors with "tables cannot be cyclic" on the line that I fired the remote with.

Here's my code:

--CLIENT
local function connectClasses() --to play button
	for _,v in pairs(menuclass:GetChildren()) do
		wait()
		if v:IsA('TextButton') then 
			if v.Name ~= 'Back' then 
				local inf = tinfo(.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Elastic)
				spawn(function()
					v.Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
						--print('clickitied')
						--spawn(function()
						--print('server invoked')
						local c = v.Name
						ClassSelected:InvokeServer(c)
						--end)
						local goal = {}
						goal.Position = menuout
						local t0 = twn(menuclass,inf,goal)
						t0.Completed:wait()
						gbls.Debris:AddItem(startmenu,0)
						spawned = true
						main.Enabled = true	
						cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
					end)
				end)
			end
		end		
	end
end

--SERVER
data.Combine("DATA","gold","sh_coins","class","exp","level","awakenings")

--spawn(function()
	gbls.Plrs.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Plr)
		
		--print(Plr.Name..' added')
		local goldstore = data("gold",Plr)
		local shcoinstore = data("sh_coins",Plr)
		local classstore = data("class",Plr)
		local xpstore = data("exp",Plr)
		local lvlstore = data("level",Plr)
		local awakenstore = data("awakenings",Plr)
		
		local class = classstore:Get(0) --0 is none
		local awakens = awakenstore:Get(0)
		local lvl = lvlstore:Get(1)
		local exp = xpstore:Get(0)
		local xptolvl = 50
		local xpmult = lvl*1.7
		local lvltoawaken = 25
		local lvlmult = awakens*2.5
						
		function callRemote(remote,value)
			sendDataToClient:InvokeClient(Plr,remote,value)
		end
		
		local function updateMults()
			xpmult = lvl*1.7
			lvlmult = awakens*2.5
		end
		
		local function addAwakening(amt)
			awakens = awakens + amt
			awakenstore:Increment(amt)
		end
		
		local function addLvl(amt)
			lvl = lvl + amt
			lvlstore:Increment(amt)
			if lvl >= lvltoawaken then
				addAwakening(math.ceil(awakens/lvltoawaken))
				callRemote('Awakening',awakens)
				updateMults()
			end
			callRemote('Level',lvl)
		end
		
		local function addExp(amt)
			exp = exp + amt
			xpstore:Increment(amt)
			if exp >= xptolvl then
				addLvl(math.ceil(exp/xptolvl))
				callRemote('Level',lvl)
				updateMults()
			end
			callRemote('Exp',exp)
		end
		
		callRemote('Gold',goldstore:Get(500))
		callRemote('Stronghold Coins',shcoinstore:Get(0))
		callRemote('Class',class)
		callRemote('Exp',exp)
		callRemote('Level',lvl)
		callRemote('Awakening',awakens)
		
		goldstore:OnUpdate(callRemote)
		shcoinstore:OnUpdate(callRemote)
		classstore:OnUpdate(callRemote)
		xpstore:OnUpdate(callRemote)
		lvlstore:OnUpdate(callRemote)
		awakenstore:OnUpdate(callRemote)
				
		classSelected.OnServerInvoke = function(plr,Class)
			--print('class remote called: '..Class)
			callRemote('Class',classstore:Set(Class))
		end
		
	end)
--end)

Any help is very appreciated! This has stumped me for a while, and I've tried changing the DS value to a number (in case it didnt take strings?) and was not successful. The print statement printed the string that I expected (the class name), and is not nil.
