How can I send a Table through a RemoteEvent

How can I send say, table = {“cheese”,“bread”}, through a RemoteEvent and have it return the same table, current when I would do :FireServer(table) it would only send cheese nothing else.

What’s the full table? It could be that you’re sending a table with mixed number and string keys.

See here for more information.

#3

local table = {}

table[1] = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
table[2] = True1
table[3] = True2
table[4] = False1

ReplicatedStorage.Events.Send:FireServer(table)

You are making the table in-correctly.

True1 would make it fail due to it not being a valid type.

So on the client you’d make the table like this.

local Table = {
	true,
	false,
	true,
	false
}

Or if you were meaning for “True1” to be a string you’d do

local Table = {
    "True1",
    "False1",
}

Then you’d fire the remote with the table

Remote:FireServer(Table)

Then on the server you’d connect the remote.

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, tbl: {})
	print(player.Name)
	print(tbl)
end)

Output:
Capture

  1. You could send the table on remote event with:

:FireServer(game:GetService(“HttpService”):JSONEncode(Table))

  1. You could get the table by decoding it

game:GetService(“HttpService”):JsonDecode(Table)

  1. How to set it up?

Give the table using fire server (jsonencoded)

Get the table from fire server and use jsondecode on it

I recommend adding each element of the table as an extra parameter

— Client

local table = {“stuff”,”more stuff”}

RemoteEvent:FireServer(table[1],table[2])


— Server

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, stuff, morestuff)
      print(stuff, morestuff) — prints elements
end)
