Unable to access value from table

[Lostude]

hey there! at the moment, when a remote event is fired and handled on the server I am unable to return a cashier object despite it being stored in a table in a module script.

module:

Register.ClaimedRegisters = {} -- [register] = player

...

function Register.ClaimRegister(player, register)
	Register.ClaimedRegisters[register] = player
end

server script:

OpenTipJarGUIEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, tipJar)
	local register = tipJar.Parent
	local cashier = RegisterModule.ClaimedRegisters[register]

	if cashier then
		local assets = CashierTippingModule.PlayerAssets[cashier.UserId]

		if assets and #assets > 0 then
			OpenTipJarGUIEvent:FireClient(player, assets, cashier.Name)
		end
	else
		print("no cashier")
	end
end)

Do you really need an entire function for that, vro?

@Lostude

function Register.ClaimRegister(player, register)
	Register.ClaimedRegisters[register] = player
end

Ever heard of contexts?
Table required by modulescript on a client ~= table on a server;
Its a 2 separate non replicatable to each other entities.
I also suggest dumbing down all of it and removing the module script entirely because you essentially use it just to store a table reference.

that’s not the entire function nor the module I just shortened it down bc the rest is irrelevant In this case. so how else should I approach this?

Well firstly you need to understand what does run contextmeans.

This are essentially 2 separate entities for both server and client who have 2 separate table entities; althrough this modulescript may share same instance hash.

You can use an ObjectValue in the register to keep track of who’s currently assigned as cashier

okay thank you for that much appreciated
