So I'm converting a game to filteringEnabled, and I'm using a RemoteFunction to cross the 'boundary', but it's not working. Can anyone tell me why?
--Local Script
function SavePlayerCar()
local CarToClone = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name .. "s_CustomCar")
local CarClone = CarToClone:Clone()
local CarName = CarToClone.Car.CarName.Value
local CarPack = game.Lighting:WaitForChild(plr.Name.."s_CarPack")
--Save car to player's custom car pack
CarPack:WaitForChild(CarName):remove()
CarClone.Parent = CarPack
CarClone.Name = CarName
game.Workspace.Events.CarSaver:InvokeServer(CarClone)
end
script.Parent.Save.MouseButton1Click:Connect(SavePlayerCar)
--Server Script
function game.Workspace.Events.CarSaver.OnServerInvoke(Player, CarClone)
print(CarClone.Name)
end
And it's saying that CarClone is a Nil Value in the server script. |

Put the remote function in replicated storage

Replacing 'remove()' with 'Destroy()' won't do anything for what I'm asking. |

I can see you're using a lot of things that are not recommended anymore. As already mentioned, use :Destroy(), not :remove() Use ReplicatedStorage for housing instances that should be used by both the server and the client. Use ServerStorage for storage for the server, not Lighting. Lighting should only deal with skies, visual effects, etc. Use ServerScriptService to house server scripts, workspace will also work for this. A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects: A Player's Backpack, such ## # ##### of a Tool A Player's Character model A Player's PlayerGui A Player's PlayerScripts The ReplicatedFirst service Make sure your local script abides by those rules^ After you fix those issues, post back here if the problem persists.

So I adjusted for things that needed to be adjusted that you listed, yet it still doesn't work.
--Local Script, in the player's GUI
function SavePlayerCar()
local CarToClone = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name .. "s_CustomCar")
local CarClone = CarToClone:Clone()
local CarName = CarToClone.Car.CarName.Value
local CarPack = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(plr.Name.."s_CarPack")
--Save car to player's custom car pack
CarPack:WaitForChild(CarName):Destroy()
CarClone.Parent = CarPack
CarClone.Name = CarName
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.CarSaver:InvokeServer(CarClone)
end
script.Parent.Save.MouseButton1Click:Connect(SavePlayerCar)
--Server Script, in ServerScriptService
function game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.CarSaver.OnServerInvoke(Player, CarClone)
print(CarClone.Name)
end
And it's still saying that CarClone is a nil value. |

print CarClone.Name on the client and tell me if the name prints |

Yep, it printed fine on the client. |

"CarClone.Parent = CarPack"
Is CarPack nil?
Any other errors?

Nope, the only error is that CarClone is nil. |

And it's an error on the Server script. |

"local CarToClone = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name .. "s_CustomCar")"
How exactly is CarToClone being instantiated? If it's being created on the client, then that's your problem

All of this is taking place on the Client's workspace, and I'm trying to copy a car that only exists for the client and replicate it so the server into a custom bin for the player to use later. |

But I only want 1 player to see it; the player who spawned it. In this case, they are customizing their car, not spawning it to be driven.
I have the system for spawning a car for driving done.
