Remote function issue - Server returns what I want, Local returns nil

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make a dev console (like admin commands), and on the server it returns what I want, whilst locally it returns nil:

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local db = false
local userID = plr.UserId
--local spellingLog = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpellingLog
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
--local tabFunction
local cText

script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		local whitelist = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("ReturnWhitelist"):InvokeServer()
		if enterPressed and not db then
			db = true
			cText = script.Parent.Text
			script.Parent.Text = ""
			if table.find(whitelist, tonumber(userID)) and string.len(cText) > 0 then
				if not cText:match("^%s*$") then
					logText, logColor = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("SendCommand"):InvokeServer(cText)
					local newLog = script.LogTemplate:Clone()
					newLog.Text = logText or "Failed to send command."
					newLog.TextColor3 = logColor or Color3.fromRGB(255, 100, 100)
					newLog.TextTransparency = 1
					newLog.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.ConsoleLog
					for count = 1, 0, -.075 do
						newLog.TextTransparency = count
						wait(.001)
					end
					newLog.TextTransparency = 0
				else
					local newLog = script.LogTemplate:Clone()
					newLog.Text = ("Your message being full of whitespaces is not allowed.")
					newLog.TextColor3 = (Color3.fromRGB(255, 100, 100))
					newLog.TextTransparency = 1
					newLog.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.ConsoleLog
					for count = 1, 0, -.075 do
						newLog.TextTransparency = count
						wait(.001)
					end
					newLog.TextTransparency = 0
				end
			end
		elseif table.find(whitelist, tonumber(userID)) and string.len(cText) <= 0 or table.find(whitelist, tonumber(userID)) and cText == "" then
			local newLog = script.LogTemplate:Clone()
			newLog.Text = ("Your message being full of whitespaces is not allowed.")
			newLog.TextColor3 = (Color3.fromRGB(255, 100, 100))
			newLog.TextTransparency = 1
			newLog.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.ConsoleLog
			for count = 1, 0, -.075 do
				newLog.TextTransparency = count
				wait(.001)
			end
			newLog.TextTransparency = 0
		end
		wait(.1)
		db = false
	end)
	if not success then
		print(response)
		db = false
	end
end)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
