Player is Nil in a Remote Event

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

This script is saying that the player is nil even though the remote event should’ve passed over who pressed the button

local DataStore2 = require(1936396537)
local BuyObject = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvents.BuyObject

BuyObject.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local currencyStore = DataStore2("currency", player)
	local ItemCost = player.PlayerGui.MainUI.ShopFrame.ItemBuyFrame.ItemPrice.ItemCost.Value
	
	currencyStore:Increment(-ItemCost)
end)

What is the error because I assumed that remote events automatically passed over players?

Like I don’t have anything that I can put it into, it just gives me the file directory when I drag it into my script.

It is literally just a matter of downloading it then dragging it into the studio window.

Where do I put it? ServerScriptService?

It would be prudent to do so.

And how do I put it into my script?

You would just require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2) instead of the ID.

Then you have not implemented it correctly

Then how do I implement it correctly? My script isn’t taking away the money when I click it like it didn’t when I made this post.

Could you show how you are calling FireServer in your local script?

You’re handling the cost of an item from the GUI side (client), this is horrible practice if they modify the value on their side and actually change the item cost.

Your post is confusing, is there an error?

Could we see the LocalScript that Fires the event, I believe your issue lies there.
