#1

so i made a shop where you can sell tools

local script

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	print(player)
	talk.Visible = true
	Yoption.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		sellitem(player)
	end)
end)

serverscript

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	print(player)
	event:FireClient(player)
end)

however what prints in the output isnt the player but instead it prints player on the server script and nil on the local script

Using FireClient takes in the parameter Player, but this does NOT pass to the client.

So, for this code:

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)

Since you are not passing any additional arguments after the Player parameter on the server, it would just be:

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()

However, if you were to be passing more arguments to the client such as the code below:

event:FireClient(player, 100, 500)

Handling this would simply be:

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(num1, num2) --ignoring the Player parameter
    print(num1, num2)
end)

--Output: 100 500

To put into shorter terms, when dealing with FireClient, all the arguments AFTER the player parameter should be in the event.
