i don’t know if this is efficient but,

local function CopiedTable(TableOfSomeone)
	  local Copia = {}
	for key, value in pairs(TableOfSomeone) do
	Copia[key] = value
           end	
      return Copia
end

	local cloneVariable = CopiedTable(TableOfSomeone)


		
	local SentTable = RS:WaitForChild("PlayerData"):WaitForChild("SendingTable")
	SentTable:FireClient(player, cloneVariable)

Put the table in a variable and then send this variable in the remote event parameters.

(forgot how to do the lua thing in posts)

Server Script:

local Table = {

Value1 = 200,
Value2 = 300

}

YourRemoteEvent:FireClient(Table)

Client script:

YourRemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect( function(Table)

print(Value1)
print(Value2)

end)

(I tested this in roblox studio, it worked for me)

Just store the table (be it a dictionary or array) inside a variable and pass that as an additonal argument to any “FireServer()”, “FireAllClients()” or “FireClient()” function call made through a “RemoteEvent” instance.

To put lua you just say:
` three of these at the start of your lua code and at the end
