Hi, I want to pass a table from a server script to a local script by using a FireClient from the server and catch it in the client with a OnClientEvent.
I tried it but I got some errors:
13:14:58.565 - Players.Grayuu.PlayerGui.SideBar.LocalScript:2: invalid argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)
13:14:58.568 - Stack Begin
13:14:58.570 - Script 'Players.Grayuu.PlayerGui.SideBar.LocalScript', Line 2
13:14:58.571 - Stack End
Here is the OnClientEvent script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.SideBar.GiveColoursToClient.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player,ColorTable)
for index, value in ipairs(ColorTable) do
print(index, value)
end
end)
And this is how I pass the table:
local ColorTable = {example,example,example}
game.ReplicatedStorage.SideBar.GiveColoursToClient:FireClient(player,ColorTable)
All the help is appreciated, if you need more information just tell me
I have a slight error. Because I am making a level generating kind of game. I want to send the table when each round starts. I played with my script a bit but it keeps ignoring the first round and not firing the FireClient, but then sends the table on other rounds.
Here is my level generating script:
local level = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GeneratedLevels"):GetChildren()
local studs = 0
local endLevel = game.ReplicatedStorage.End
local ColorTable = {}
while true do
for count = 1, 6 do
for i, placeHolder in pairs(game.Workspace.PlaceHolders:GetChildren()) do
local chosenLevel = level[math.random(1, #level)]:Clone()
print(chosenLevel.Name)
-- Inserting values to table
table.insert(ColorTable, chosenLevel.ColorBar.Value)
chosenLevel.PrimaryPart = chosenLevel.Floor
chosenLevel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(placeHolder.Position)+ Vector3.new(studs, 0, 0))
studs = studs - chosenLevel.studs.Value
chosenLevel.Parent = game.Workspace.currentLevels
end
end
local endLevelClone = endLevel:Clone()
endLevelClone.PrimaryPart = endLevelClone.Floor
endLevelClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(game.Workspace.PlaceHolders.Floor.Position)+ Vector3.new(studs, 0, 0))
endLevelClone.Parent = game.Workspace.currentLevels
-- Fire Client Function
for i, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
game.ReplicatedStorage.SideBar.GiveColoursToClient:FireClient(player,ColorTable)
end
local minutes = 1
local seconds = 0
local minutesVal = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TimerVal"):WaitForChild("minutesVal")
minutesVal.Value = minutes
local secondsVal = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TimerVal"):WaitForChild("secondsVal")
secondsVal.Value = seconds
local timer = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer
repeat
if seconds <= 0 and secondsVal.Value <= 0 then
minutes = minutes - 1
seconds = 59
minutesVal.Value = minutesVal.Value - 1
secondsVal.Value = 59
else
seconds = seconds - 1
secondsVal.Value = secondsVal.Value - 1
end
if seconds <= 9 then
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":0"..tostring(seconds) else
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":"..tostring(seconds)
end
wait(game.Workspace.Values.WaitSpeed.Value)
until minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0
if minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0 then

for _, player in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do

still ignores the first round do you think its the cause of the OnClientEvent local script? or the FireClient. because after the first round finishes. it reads the table but last rounds table is still inserted
Its like if it dosent want to fire to the client…
Here is what the output shows:
1 Lapis
2 Brown
3 Ghost Grey
4 Neon Orange
5 Pink
6 Pastel Green
7 Carnation Pink
8 New Yeller
9 Pink
10 Cyan
11 Lime Green
12 Maroon
It should normaly only show 6 values in the table, so it still stores the values from the first ever round but dosent fire the event?
still dosent fire the FireAllClients at the very first ever round but it does generate a new table each round, tho why dosent it fire the event at the first ever round but all the other rounds it fires it fine? should I try to use a player added or something?
sure here is the local script that receives the table I tried debuging with print statements but did not seem to work:
game.ReplicatedStorage.SideBar.GiveColoursToClient.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(ColorTable)
print("o k")
for index, value in ipairs(ColorTable) do
print(index, value)
end
end)
I just noticed something, the script immediately begins, try adding a print right before the :FireAllClients() and put a wait(2) before the while true do
