so i have a table in a local script with selection boxes and i have to transfer to a server script so i can use it in a remote event (local script → remote:FireServer(table) ) but when i do that it clears the table and says that the table has 0 children in it
if you dont understand what im trying to say then im gonna try to explain it a little bit better
Can I see your local script, I am pretty sure that you can send tables using remote events. There might be an error in the code.
okay here it is:
(selectionboxesremote is the remote im talking about)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local tablewithsboxes = {}
local tool = script.Parent
local branchInfoFunc = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Branches
local getsawinfo = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.GetSawInfo
function remove(array, value)
for i, v in ipairs(array) do
if value == v then
return table.remove(array, i)
end
end
end
local selectionboxesremote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.SelectionBoxes
RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
wait()

i cannot change the script to lua
Could you format your code using the following without the --. It is three of these ` then the code.
It is the key just above tab, and just below esc.
--```
--code
--```there we go finally working thanks
If before firing the server, you did the following, does it print anything?
for i,v pairs(tablewithsboxes) do
print(i, v)
endi did print(#tablewithsboxes) and i got 4 so it means there were selection boxes in it, but when i did that in the remote it printed out 0
Strange, can I see the server script?
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.SelectionBoxes
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,sbtable)
for i,v in pairs(sbtable) do
local exists = false
for i,b in pairs(plr:FindFirstChild("SelectionBoxes"):GetChildren()) do
local sb = b.Value
if sb == v then
exists = true
end
end
if exists == false then
local value = Instance.new("ObjectValue",plr:FindFirstChild("SelectionBoxes"))
value.Name = "SelectionBox"
value.Value = v
end
end
end)
Same issue here. Sent a table with a function from the server and got an empty table on the client.
