Event.FireClient() not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The goal of my script is to unequip the sword that is equipped when another sword is being equipped. Unexpectedly when I used the FireClient() function, it sent over a nil value for the variable that was being sent to the localscript.

Serverscript

game.ReplicatedStorage.UnequipEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, finder)
	local location = game.ServerStorage[player.Name]
	for i,v in pairs(location.Equipped:GetChildren()) do
		v.Parent = location.Unequipped
		game.ReplicatedStorage.DataStoreUsage.UnequipOthers:FireClient(player, v) -- FireClient() event
	end
	game.ServerStorage[player.Name].Unequipped[tostring(finder)].Parent = game.ServerStorage[player.Name].Equipped
end)

Localscript

game.ReplicatedStorage.DataStoreUsage.UnequipOthers.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(v)
	print(v) -- returns nil
	if v ~= nil then
		print("fired")
		if player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.ScrollingFrame:FindFirstChild(v.Name) then
			player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.ScrollingFrame[v.Name].Equipped = false
			print("fired normal")
		else
			print("fired sframe2")
			player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Sframe2[v.Name].Equipped = false
		end
	end
end)

what is v? because if its a model, or exists on the server I don’t think It can be accessed by the client

v is in fact a model… I just realized that. I will apply changes and see if they work.

you can try placing what is stored in the ‘location’ variable in replicated storage, then fire a string like the name of the model, then it can be accessed by the client
