i meant print message and playerID

#5

I did that it just kept skipping to the error

#6

so data does not exist, it probably doesnt replicate to the server

#7

so it just doesnt have a way to get that players user?

#8

sorry for being away for so long, but replication means the things on the client get to the server, in this case there may be no replication or in other words it doesn’t appear on the server
