I feel like this question has a relatively simple answer, but I’m not exactly sure how to pass info through remote events. A quick explanation would really be helpful :slightly_smiling_face:

On the client:

remoteEvent:FireServer(arg1, arg2, arg3, ...)

On the server:

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, arg1, arg2, arg3, ...)

The player who sent over the RemoteEvent will automatically be passed in as the first argument to the .OnServerEvent. Depending on what your remote event is for, different information will need to be passed over. For example, a shop, you’d need to know which item the player is trying to buy so you could pass over the item name.

-- Client example 2
remoteEvent:FireServer(itemName)

-- Server example 2
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, itemName)
    -- gonna pretend you have this all defined already
    if player.Cash.Value >= allItemInfo[itemName].Price then
        -- take the cash away
        player.Cash.Value -= allItemInfo[itemName].Price
        
        -- give the player the item (however it'd work for your game)
    end
end)
