Unable to cast value to Object

Hello. I’m getting the error *Unable to cast value to Object * coming from line 6 of this server script

Capture

The code

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
	
	RemoteEvent:FireClient(script.Parent.Name)

end)

Is that the full code? Can you point where the line 6 is?

I have this code in a Gui

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local CodesGUI = script.Parent

local Notification = script.Parent.Notification

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Area, Player)

	local newNotification = Notification:Clone()
	newNotification.Name = "Notification2"
	newNotification.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0,-0.1)
	newNotification.Text = Area
	newNotification.Visible = true
	newNotification.Parent = CodesGUI
	local FadeTween = TweenService:Create(newNotification, TweenInfo.new(0.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0), {TextTransparency = 1})
	newNotification:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0,0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, 0.5, false, function()
		task.wait(0.5)
		FadeTween:Play()
		FadeTween.Completed:Wait()
		newNotification.Visible = false
		newNotification:Destroy()

	end)
end)

I see the problem, you are firing a remote event using a string, the first argument must be an Instance and more specifically a player

You have to fire the player Argument first before the Part Name.

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	
	RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player, script.Parent.Name)

end)

The first argument you are sending isn’t a player

This is because the touch event was probably touched by a normal part (A brick, the baseplate etc…) and since that isn’t a player then the “Player” variable is nil. Because of this it tells you that it is an invalid argument
