Info is not being passed through Remote Events

[cAoSbOx10 (DeathWillReign)]

Hello. I have looked for an answer in the forum and found many posts, but none of them actually solved my issue. I am trying to take the name of an instance and pass it to a server script through a remote event, but it is returning nil instead.

Here’s some of the code:

Client:

local button = script.Parent
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

debounce = true

button.Activated:Connect(function(player)
	if debounce == true then
		debounce = false
		local naim = button.Name -- change button's name
		repstorage.WearArmor:FireServer(player, naim)
		wait(0.1)
		debounce = true
	end
end)

Server:

local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

repstorage.WearArmor.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, naim)
	
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

	print(character.Name)
	print(naim)

Rather than printing out the name, it is printing out “nil” and the rest of the script does not work because of that. I would like to know how to solve this.

You don’t need to pass the player object when using :FireServer(). This is only necessary when using :FireClient().

Instead of:

repstorage.WearArmor:FireServer(player, naim)

Try:

repstorage.WearArmor:FireServer(naim)

That solved the issue. Thank you, although I do not understand why having “player” there was an issue.

On the server, the .OnServerEvent event automatically passes the player that sent the signal. Passing the player again on the client with the :FireServer() function will cause another player parameter to show up on the server end:

Lets say you kept the old code:

repstorage.WearArmor:FireServer(player, naim)

The server will receive three parameters instead:

repstorage.WearArmor.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, player, naim)
end)

Additionally, I don’t think the button.Activated event passes the player instance.
