Try put the remote function in ReplicatedStorage and have the server and client use the same one.
This might be a replication issue (as in the server and the client have 2 different remote functions).

#23

I Moved The Event To Replicated Storage, Updated Both Scripts With game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“IsVR”), but it still prints the same as shown above

#24

Have you tried commenting out the code and just return something?:

Event.OnClientInvoke = function()
	--if VRService.VREnabled then
	--	print("True")
	--	return true
	--else
	--	print("False")
	--	return false
	--end
	return false
end

This is to see if there’s something wrong with the remote.

#25

Hm, maybe the server is invoking the client before your player script is started? Try adding a wait(2) before you invoke the function but after the player joins.

Now Nothing Outputs?

#27

Try this:

Server script in ServerScriptService

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("IsVR")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
    Plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
        print("Something")
        local IsVR = Event:InvokeClient(Plr)
        if IsVR then
            print("Player is using VR")
        else
            print("Player is not using VR")
        end
    end)
end)

Local script in StarterPlayerScripts?

local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("IsVR")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

Event.OnClientInvoke = function()
    if UIS.VREnabled then
        print("Player is using VR")
        return true
    else
        print("Player is not using VR")
        return false
    end
end
#28

It Turns Out StarterGui Was Reseting The Script Everytime I Spawned, It Had Enough Time To Print ‘Something’, But Not Enough To Get A Response From The Client, When I Added The Wait(2) It Doesn’t Have Enough Time To Print Anything. I Put The Script Tree Into A ScreenGui With Reset On Spawn Off(I Also Added Another .Parent To The Plr Location In The ServerScript) And Now It Outputs This: image Now That IK What Was Wrong I Believe I Can Get It To Work. Thanks For All Your Help

#29

Instead of using script.Parent.Parent to define the player, try using

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connec(function(Player)

end)

The 2 players might be different.

#30

That’s not actually true, the way he did it was fine.
