OnClientEvent not receiving parameters

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Alright so i’m making a party invitation system for my game

-The problem is that when I use OnClientEvent, every parameter is nil.

The scripts that fires:

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,v,mod,)
	local modr = require(mod)
	print(player)--this part works, yet the onclientevent doesn't?
	modr:SendInvite(v,player)-- V is the player to send the invite to and player is the person that sent the invite.
end)

the OnClientEvent script

game.ReplicatedStorage.InviteToParty.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	print("invite recieved from "..player)-- I get an error: attempt to concantenate string with nil
end)

First of all you should do player.Name instead of player if you’re trying to print the player’s name because player is not a string, but it’s an instance. You cannot print it as a string.

3

Are you sending from the client to the server and back to the client? If yes, then you should use a remotefunction.

Player objects don’t replicate between the client and the server. Send the player’s name instead.

It prints the player’s name either way in the server script though

6

What parameter did you pass to :FireClient()? The player or the player’s name?

7

The player, the script that receives the parameters then changes it to player.Name in a varibale

9

Can you show what is inside of the modr module?

10

The player object does replicate though

Oops It was me i made a mistake in the module script

function Party:SendInvite(PlayerToInvite)
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.InviteToParty:FireClient(Player,Leader)
	
end

This is what I was suspecting.

My bad, they do actually replicate, fixed my posts.
