PlayerAdded will not work. Any other solutions??

Okay here is something that I use sometimes. So I make a local script and then in that local script I make the Player Variable.

After that I fire a remote event and add the Player Variable within the event. Then go on from there to the Server Script

So like this?

local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerEvent
Remote:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
--Then stuff here, but i would rather do a test to see if it works.
print(Player.Name)

print(Player.DisplayName)

Wait sorry I got mixed up with the context, just simply fire a remote event, no need to add anything in the parameters.

local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerEvent
Remote:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
--Then stuff here, but i would rather do a test to see if it works.
print(Player.Name)

print(Player.DisplayName)

All you need to do is remove game.Players.LocalPlayer. I forgot that when you fire a remote event you are supposed to specify Player in the OnServerConnect line.

– This Is The Best Way

local plrs = game.Players

plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local tab = require(game.ServerScriptService.PlayerData)
local player = plrs[plr.name]
local playerStats = tab.GiveData(player)
local kills = playerStats[“Kills”]
local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
print(script.Parent.Parent.Name)

end)

for me the best way to get the player from server is player added, but you can also try to do a remote event from the client with player name info.
