Yes, I had this on the server then I noticed that is really stupid so I’m trying to switch it over to the client but this is causing it not to work at all.
I don’t see any reason for why it wouldn’t be working
Also was that the whole module?
That isn’t the whole module, feel free to look at the code here
Or well, I meant the part on the server with the function
Ah, My mistake there. Here is the full analyticsService code
repeat task.wait() until game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("FunctionStorage")
---------------------------------- || Variables || ----------------------------------
local field = {} ; self = setmetatable({},field) ; field.__index = field
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
---------------------------------- || Methods || ----------------------------------
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}`))
return {
["Thumbnail"] = "rbxassetid://".. Info.IconImageAssetId,
["Name"] = Details.name or "N/A",
["Description"] = Details.description,
-- Stats
["Active"] = Details.playing or "N/A",
["Visits"] = Details.visits or 0,
["Favorites"] = Details.favoritedCount or "N/A",
["Creator"] = Details["creator"],
["Updated"] = Info.Updated,
["Created"] = Info.Created,
-- Votes
["Likes"] = Votes.upVotes or "N/A",
["Dislikes"] = Votes.downVotes or "N/A",
}
end
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("FunctionStorage"):WaitForChild("Request").OnServerInvoke = function(player,Request)
warn(player,Request)
if Request == "Statistics" then
local Info = field:getInfo()
print(Info)
warn("Getting Info!")
return Info
end
end

return field
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?
