the script i fire the remote from:
image
and the remote itself

game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes"):WaitForChild("Notification").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(item)
	print(item)
	local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local main = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Notification").Main
	local templateclone = main.Parent.Template:Clone()
	local itemclone = item:Clone()
	itemclone.Parent = templateclone.ItemFrame
	local itemcam = Instance.new("Camera",itemclone)
	itemcam.Name = "ItemCam"
	local biggestSize
	local sizeTable = {}
	for i,v in pairs(itemclone.Parts:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
			table.insert(sizeTable,v.Size.X)
			table.insert(sizeTable,v.Size.Y)
			table.insert(sizeTable,v.Size.Z)
		end
	end
	for i,v in pairs(sizeTable) do
		if biggestSize == nil then
			biggestSize = v
		elseif v > biggestSize then
			biggestSize = v
		end
	end
	if itemclone.Category.Value == "AxesAndPickaxes" or itemclone.Category.Value == "Saws" or itemclone.Category.Value == "Planks" then
		itemcam.CFrame = CFrame.new(itemclone.Parts:GetBoundingBox().p + Vector3.new(biggestSize,0,0),itemclone.Parts:GetBoundingBox().p)
	else
		itemcam.CFrame = CFrame.new(itemclone.Parts:GetBoundingBox().p + Vector3.new(biggestSize,biggestSize,biggestSize),itemclone.Parts:GetBoundingBox().p)
	end
	if itemclone.ToSave:FindFirstChild("Amount") ~= nil then
		templateclone.Text = "x"..itemclone.ToSave.Amount.Value.." "..itemclone.ItemName.Value
	else
		templateclone.Text = "x1 "..itemclone.ItemName.Value
	end
	templateclone.ItemFrame.CurrentCamera = itemcam
	templateclone.Parent = main
	wait(3)
	ts:Create(templateclone,TweenInfo.new(0.5),{BackgroundTransparency=1}):Play()
	ts:Create(templateclone,TweenInfo.new(0.5),{TextTransparency=1}):Play()
	ts:Create(templateclone.ItemFrame,TweenInfo.new(0.5),{ImageTransparency=1}):Play()
	templateclone:Destroy()
end)

If you print item on the server, it isn’t nil?

5

yep, its only nil in the remote.

6

Where are you storing the item that you’re trying to pass?

7

first the item is cloned from replicated storage, then the remote is fired and then the item parent is set to plr.Inventory

8

Trying putting a bit of a long wait before item.Parent = plr.Inventory.AxesAndPickaxes

notification:FireClient(plr,item)
wait(3)
item.Parent = plr.Inventory.AxesAndPickaxes
9

it still prints item as nil (the remote)

10

What happens if you try to give item a parent before firing the client? Aka

item.Parent = plr.Inventory.AxesAndPickaxes
notification:FireClient(plr,item)
11

have tried it before and it gave the same result but ill try again to make sure.

12

wait, actually it worked. the rest of the script didnt work but it didnt print nil soo i guess you have fixed the issue. not sure why didnt work before tho

13

It was probably because you changed the parent a frame after firing the event, which probably messed something up
