Arguments don't seem to be passing to OnClientEvent

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Create a script that handles hunger.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I handle hunger on the client so I used a remote event to send a specific numbervalue that would vary between different prey, so you would get 5 hunger from a rabbit, 1 from a mouse, etc. The value I put doesn’t seem to pass to OnClientEvent tho, the hunger doesn’t go up and nothing prints, Its like a ghost or something.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    Well, I searched up similar stuff but all the issues had to do with stuff like not putting player in FireClient’s parameters, or arguments being nil. I tweaked the script, like making the “hunger” value a variable instead of just a number. Didn’t Work. Its frustrating since I haven’t had much trouble with passing arguments in the past, so Idk what went wrong.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Here is my “current” script that handles one of the types of prey (rabbit), it handles the health and stuff as well as fires a remote event to the client to add the hunger received.

local PreyPart = script.Parent
local PreyChar = PreyPart.Parent
local PreyHum = PreyChar.Humanoid
local PreyAnim = PreyHum.Animator


local CD = PreyPart.ClickDetector

local FoodAmnt = PreyChar:WaitForChild("FoodAmount")
FoodAmnt.Value = 100
local Eat = game.ReplicatedStorage.Eat

CD.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

	local PlrCharacter = player.Character	
	local PlrAnimator = PlrCharacter.Humanoid.Animator
	
	local AttackAnim = PlrCharacter.Attack
	local DedAnim = script.Ded
	
	local AttackTrack = PlrAnimator:LoadAnimation(AttackAnim)
	local DedTrack = PreyAnim:LoadAnimation(DedAnim)
	
	AttackTrack:Play()
	
	if PreyHum.Health > 0 then --if the health is greater than 0 then...
		PreyHum:TakeDamage(25)	
	end
	if PreyHum.Health == 0 then
		DedTrack:Play()
		FoodAmnt.Value = FoodAmnt.Value - 25
		
	Eat:FireClient(player, 5)
	end
	if FoodAmnt.Value == 0 then 
		PreyChar:Destroy()
	end
end)

And heres the script that answers the remote event when fired…

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Char = player.Character or player:WaitForChild("Character")
local hum = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Eat = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Eat")

local label = script.Parent
local SurvlStats = Char:WaitForChild("Survival Stats")
local Hunger = SurvlStats:WaitForChild("Hunger")
Hunger.Value = 50


while true do
	wait(5)
	Hunger.Value = Hunger.Value - 1
	
	label.Text = Hunger.Value.."Hunger"
	
	if Hunger.Value > 100 then
		Hunger.Value = 100

	elseif Hunger.Value <= 0 then
		Hunger.Value = 0

		hum:TakeDamage(0.5)
	end
end

Eat.OnClientEvent:Connnect(function(Nutrition)
	Hunger.Value = Hunger.Value + Nutrition
	print(Nutrition)
end)

The Nutrition thing is supposed to be the amount of hunger the player shall receive. Except, nothing passes! Literally nothing! Nothing prints and the hunger doesn’t go up! So, basically, a ghost!

There are no errors in the output so I don’t think its nil, just, doesn’t exist?
If you need more/different info, plz ask and I will provide!

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

put that right above the while true do since it will never be called

Hey I think it worked! I should’ve thought of that before!
