Attempt to index nil with character

Hello, I’m trying to make a command that makes the player view another player. But with the unview command, it says attempt to index nil with character. Any solutions?

commands.unview = function(player)
	print(player)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ViewPlayer:FireClient(player,nil)
	logEvent:FireAllClients(player.Name.." used 'unview'",false)
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ViewPlayer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player,target)
	local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
	
	if target ~= nil then
		camera.CameraSubject = target.Character.Humanoid
	else
		camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid
	end
end)

You firing the player’s client with nil, then assuming you have a player value, which you don’t. Player is only for server event, and player is just “nil”, because that’s the only variable you sent over.

Let me explain

ClientEvent shows the variables you sent, which is nil.
When you fire the client, with Player, Nil, you’re firing that client, and sending over the value nil, you need to send the Player Value twice for it to work.

Let me give a deeper explanation

MyRemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, arguements)

end)

When you fire the server, you don’t specify a player, but the variable is there because it’s the server, and not the client.

MyRemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(arguements)

end)

When you fire the client, there’s no player to specify because it’s being fired from the whole server. You need to send it as an arguement/variable through the remote event.

So, your code should be this:

commands.unview = function(player)
	print(player)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ViewPlayer:FireClient(player,player,nil)
	logEvent:FireAllClients(player.Name.." used 'unview'",false)
end
