Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I dont know how to transfer player data to a localscript, I tried using a remote event and returning the data but it just gives me an error: Attempt to index nil with cash, here is the onserverevent: getdata.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
return data[plr.UserId]
end)

local functions = RS:WaitForChild(“Functions”)
local getdata = remotes.GetData

function givecash(plr)
local data = getdata:FireServer(player)
data.Cash += 10
end

The parameter is plr but you are firing server to “player”. Typo? Also just give the cash in the server, exploiters will cheese the system if you do this in the client

It doesnt matter since remotr events pass player as first argument always

He’s receiving it on the client, there is no player param. That plr param in the function is actually useless since it would be nil if he didn’t define the local player up there

Thought you were talking about the receiving thing. Anyway, you aren’t supposed to give a player param when you’re firing server, you will receive it on server side

If the problem still occurs can u add print to the data of the plr
getdata.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
print(data[plr.UserId])
return data[plr.UserId]
end)
