Mouse.Hit.p.X returns my username

I’m using remote events. Here’s some of the code in my local script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = localPlayer:GetMouse()
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

while true do
	wait(5)
	RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.p.X, mouse.Hit.p.Z)
end

As you can see, I’m firing a remote event and passing in the x-position and z-position of Mouse.Hit. Some of the code from the server script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

function func(x, z)
	print(x)
	print(z)
end
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(func)

The values being printed are “TheCreator1944” and a number value that changes depending on the position of my mouse. Does anyone know why my username is being returned instead of the x-position of Mouse.Hit?

It’s probably because you’re using the first argument (the player argument) instead of the second argument (the variable)

I don’t think so. According to the API Reference Manual, Mouse.Hit.p is supposed to return the position. I don’t see why the name of the player would be returned.

As suggested above, it’s likely because your using the player argument in the OnServerEvent for your variables. You need the player argument on the server, and other arguments after it.

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(player, func)

Sorry. I misunderstood how RemoteEvents work. My bad.
