Having Trouble With Remote Event

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello all,

I’m having trouble with this RemoteEvent. The RemoteEvent (CreateLobby) is firing, but the values are not being passed along to the server. Here is the localscript:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')

function onClick(player)

	game.StarterGui.Click1:Play()

	local name = script.Parent.Parent.NameBox.Text
	
	local players = script.Parent.Parent.PlayerBox.Text
	local storyline = 'Map 1'

	local difficulty = ''
	local invOn = false

	if script.Parent.Parent.DifficultyLabel.TextColor3 == '255, 255, 0' then
		difficulty = 'Medium'
	elseif script.Parent.Parent.DifficultyLabel.TextColor3 == '85, 255, 0' then
		difficulty = 'Easy'
	else	
		difficulty = 'Hard'
	end

	if script.Parent.Parent.TextButtonInvOn.BackgroundTransparency == 0.5 then
		invOn = true
	else
		invOn = false
	end
	
	print(name)
	print(players)
	print(storyline)
	print(difficulty)
	print(invOn)
	
	ReplicatedStorage.CreateLobby:FireServer(player, name, players, difficulty, storyline, invOn)

end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClick)

All of the print statements are running and displaying the values that they should. Here is the CreateLobby Script inside of ServerScriptService:

function createLobby(player, name, players, difficulty, storyline, invOn)

	local lobby = Instance.new('Folder')
	lobby.Name = name
	lobby.Parent = game.Workspace
	
	local InviteOnly = Instance.new('BoolValue')
	InviteOnly.Name = 'InviteOnly'
	InviteOnly.Parent = lobby
	InviteOnly.Value = invOn.Value
	
	local Map = Instance.new('StringValue')
	Map.Name = 'Map'
	Map.Parent = lobby
	Map.Value = storyline.Value
	
	
	
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.CreateLobby.OnServerEvent:Connect(createLobby)

Here is the error displayed in the output:

I’m not really sure what to make of this. Thanks for any and all help :slight_smile:. If you need anymore info, just let me know.

You do not need to pass the player argument in the :FireServer() function. It’s automatically set.

The first argument on the server will always be the Client/Player that fired the event regardless if you passed it or not.

ReplicatedStorage.CreateLobby:FireServer(name, players, difficulty, storyline, invOn)

Just remove the player argument in the client and test it again. (Like in this example ^)
