Or well, I meant the part on the server with the function
Ah, My mistake there. Here is the full analyticsService code

function field:getInfo()
local Votes
local Details
local Info = MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo(game.PlaceId)
Votes = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync("https://games.roproxy.com/v1/games/"..game.GameId.."/votes"))
Details = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync(`https://games.roproxy.com/v1/games?universeIds={game.GameId}`))

if Request == "Statistics" then

If I may ask, why are you doing weird metatable stuff for a static function?
I just like to be able to use : when making functions.
You still can without a metatable
I might be missing it, but 2 things i’d change.
- Seperate your function calls and you REALLY need to not code like that…
local ReplicatedStorage = game:getService("ReplicatedStorage")
local FunctionStorage = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FunctionStorage")
--Create a local function
local function GetInfo(player, Request)
--code
FunctionStorage.Request.OnserverInvoke = GetInfo
2nd, I dont think you are aware of 2 things, number 1 things returned between client and server are automatically switched to a string even if you return a number. You are returning a table and to return a table you need to follow this article:
You can’t just return tables between client and server they have zero knowledge of what was made in that table. But if you insert it into a table and just reutrn that main table you go around the issue, you are returning the table itself as it is defined, and I never have seen that but I am sure it can be done. I would take the much easier route.

Ah, I didn’t know that, well when Phase 2 of this panel comes out I’ll keep that in mind (I’m going to keep it like this for constancy.)

I feel like if you are not even getting a print of that first ‘warn’ then its not even calling the function on the server. Are you sure the server and client are both looking at the same remotefunction?
On the server I see you set the path specific …
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("FunctionStorage"):WaitForChild("Request").OnServerInvoke = function(player,Request)
On the client what path are you using for the remotefunction?
self["Stats"] = FunctionStorage:FindFirstChild("Request"):InvokeServer("Statistics")
where does “FunctionStorage” point to?

What do you mean by this?
They are looking at the same remote function.

They’re asking how you’ve defined ‘FunctionStorage’ in your local script.

In the client code in the first post, you have FunctionStorage:FindFirstChild()…
Where does FunctionStorage point to? Is it a variable holding part of the path?
Ah, I have defined it like this:
local FunctionStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("FunctionStorage")
Since when did remotes convert everything to strings?

Can you provide the local script?
Here the client side is, please ignore most of these function’s.

It seems it’s still returning nil 
Slight correction, when passing tables to the client, you need to change it tostring(data) if you are iterating through a table, or else it will return something unwanted. I found this out when doing MonsterDevz tutorial on clicker simulator. It causes errors as the way client and servers talk it will automatically change the way the client recieved that information unless you type tostring(data)
Could you send the link to that video? (The one you found this out from if possible.)
I’ve always been able to pass tables normally, unless it’s a metatable
