I am having trouble with the “:GetChildren()” function it seems. On the client it grabs and inserts to the table correctly but when it sends it over to the server, the server just gets blank tables…

if I send “Defined Data” then server gets it no problem.

DefinedDataSendScene 
	local spends = {
		["SoulSlotOne"] = {6, 3 ,6},
		["SoulSlotTwo"] = { 7, 8 ,7} ,
		["SoulSlotThree"] = {22, 53},
	}

GetChildren() gets actual objects in workspace, whose references cannot be sent across the client-server boundary. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you want to either send the name of the reference so you can re-get them on the server, or somehow turn the children objects into some other type of thing such as a JSON file so that the information can be sent over.
