Getting error: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got Instance)

Hi!
I have looked at other forum posts about this error and can still not figure out why this is not working. I am trying to make an ordering system where it shows the name of the player who ordered.

I am getting the error: Workspace.ConfirmTV.Screen.Script:12: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got Instance).

I am getting this error on line 12, on the Server Script in the order TV, where it says “copy.plrname.Text = name”

LOCAL SCRIPT:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local NewOrder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“NewOrder”)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()

wait(0.2)
NewOrder:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text)
script.Parent.Parent.venuename.Text = “SENDING…”
wait(1.5)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()

end)

SERVER SCRIPT:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local NewOrder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“NewOrder”)

function CreateNewOrder(name)

wait(1)

local OrderItem = script.Parent.OrderFolder.Order
local copy = OrderItem:Clone()

copy.Parent = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.Frame.ScrollingFrame

copy.plrname.Text = name

end

NewOrder.OnServerEvent:Connect(CreateNewOrder)

Any help would be so good, tysm.

The first argument of OnServerEvent is always the player who fired the event, so you need to make a parameter for that before your own parameters, you cannot pass it yourself when firing to the server as it automatically given, change

function CreateNewOrder(name)

To

function CreateNewOrder(plr,name)
#3

The function CreateNewOrder should have the parameter Player before name, because RemoteEvents always give the Player parameter.

Edit: facepalm

#4

You must supply a first parameter that contains the player instant that fired the event, because in every OnServerEvent, the first parameter that the function is connected to is always the player instance.
