Issue with RemoteEvents

Hi, small issue trying to pass CFrames through remote events.

Client-side 
local function OnPromptTriggered(IsPropHeld)
	while IsPropHeld do
		task.wait(0.05)
		GivePropPositionCFrame:FireServer(PropPosition.CFrame)
	end
end
PromptTriggered.OnClientEvent:Connect(OnPromptTriggered)
Server-side 
GivePropPositionCFrame.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(RequiredPropCFrame)
	if IsPropHeld == true then
		for i = 0, 1, 0.001 do 
			wait()
			Prop.CFrame = Prop.CFrame:Lerp(RequiredPropCFrame, i) 
		end	
	end
end)

The error it gives is “Unable to cast Instance to CoordinateFrame”. As far as I can tell, what is being passed is a CFrame and therefore it should not have an issue.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Simple mistake, happened often to me too. The event on the server .OnServerEvent has a default player argument thats always the first one, to fix your code just add like (plr,cframe) and you should be good

Try this :

Client 
local function OnPromptTriggered(IsPropHeld)
	while IsPropHeld do
		task.wait(0.05)
		GivePropPositionCFrame:FireServer(PropPosition.CFrame)
	end
end
PromptTriggered.OnClientEvent:Connect(OnPromptTriggered)
Server 
GivePropPositionCFrame.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,RequiredPropCFrame)
	if IsPropHeld == true then
		for i = 0, 1, 0.001 do 
			task.wait()
			Prop.CFrame = Prop.CFrame:Lerp(RequiredPropCFrame, i) 
		end	
	end
end)

When using FireServer(), the first argument is the Player, on the client it’s automatically there. However, on the server it always has to be the first argument.

Oh right, didn’t realise. It makes perfect sense but it’s never registered.
Also sorry for not using correct formatting for code, I just forgot to add the backticks. I’ve fixed it now.

Thanks for your help (and @Valkyrop too), that’s worked. I’ll try and remember that in the future!
