Scripting issue

Hey developers!
While scripting an admin panel I ran into this issue.
When I click the “kick” button, it should kick the player I put in. But that’s not happening. Please help!

LocalScript:

--Variables--
local button = script.Parent
local input = script.Parent.Parent.UserInput
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Kick
--Script--
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local result = event:InvokeServer(input.Text)
print(result)
if result == "Success." then
button.Visible = false
end
end)

Script:

--Variables--
local admins = {
    ["iamajust"] = 1;
}
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Kick
--Script--
event.OnServerInvoke:Connect(function(player, victim)
    if admins[player.Name] then
	    if game.Players:FindFirstChild(victim) then
		    game.Players:FindFirstChild(victim):Kick([[
		    You have been kicked.
		
		    -Kiba Admin
		    ]])
		    return "Success."
	    else
		    return "Fail."
	    end
    end
end)

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me!
Have a nice day, iamajust

When I saw the

input

thing was blue, I changed my variable, but it still doesn’t work. I don’t know if this was even an issue though.

Any errors that have occurred? are any of your prints printing?

Oh, thanks for saying.
Since my plugin errors always show on the bottom I didn’t see it at first.
This is the error shown in the output:

22:20:32.795 OnServerInvoke is a callback member of RemoteFunction; you can only set the callback value, get is not available - Server - KickScript:8

5 
event.OnServerInvoke = function(player, victim)
	if admins[player.Name] then
		if game.Players:FindFirstChild(victim) then
			game.Players:FindFirstChild(victim):Kick([[
		    You have been kicked.
		
		    -Kiba Admin
		    ]])
			return "Success."
		else
			return "Fail."
		end
	end
end

Try using a remote event instead.

--Variables--
local button = script.Parent
local input = script.Parent.Parent.UserInput
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Kick
--Script--
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local result = event:FireServer(input.Text)
print(result)
if result == "Success." then
button.Visible = false
end
end)

--Variables--
local admins = {
    ["iamajust"] = 1;
}
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Kick
--Script--
function isInTable(tableValue, toFind)
	local found = false
	for _,v in pairs(tableValue) do
		if v == toFind then
			found = true
            break
		end
	end
	return found
end

event.OnServerInvoke:Connect(function(player, victim)
if isInTable(admins, player.Name) then
	    if game.Players:FindFirstChild(victim) then
		    game.Players:FindFirstChild(victim):Kick([[
		    You have been kicked.
		
		    -Kiba Admin
		    ]])
		    return "Success."
	    else
		    return "Fail."
	    end
    end
end)

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it. :smiley:

I just wanted to explain @heII_ish’s code. Your current code is treating a RemoteFunction like an Event. RemoteEvents will use events but RemoteFunctions use Callbacks. They are write-only members of certain objects that take a function.
