FireClient() not executing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello! First time posting here, so I made a simple backpack system that stores the item in a folder in ServerStorage, and I noticed that when I stored a item with a gui, it couldnt disable it so of course I used a remote event from client to server to try and fix that but for some reason while giving no errors, the condition is being met but only FireClient() is not getting executed, like its skipping it or something.

Heres the code:

Server sided script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local inventoryStore = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.InventoryStore
local flashlightDisabled = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.FlashlightDisable

local playerItemsFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
playerItemsFolder.Name = "PlayerItems"
playerItemsFolder.Parent = Storage

inventoryStore.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, action, toolName)
	if action == "StoreTool" then
		toolName.Parent = playerItemsFolder
		if toolName.Name == "FlashLight" then
			flashlightDisabled:FireClient(player)
			print("Flashlight found!")
		end
	elseif action == "RetrieveTool" then
		local storedTool = playerItemsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolName)
		if storedTool then
			storedTool.Parent = player.Backpack
			flashlightDisabled:FireClient(player,action)
		end
	end
end)

Client sided script:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

Btw one thing to notice is that in the elseif condition i also added another FireClient() for testing purposes just to confirm its only in the conditionals that is doing that, when i use FireClient() outside of the conditionals it works fine so the remote event is correctly set up, the problem lies when FireClient() is inside of the conditionals.

The problem became extremely complex, so I rewrote this part of the script and now the problem is solved. So post is closing here.
