Triggering Client Event For Other Players

[shaio]

I'm trying to get a player from a gridlist, and then trigger an event for that player when that player is selected. It will trigger it for localPlayer, but not for the other player. Here is my full script. Errors start on line 126

Use 'triggerServerEvent' And 'triggerClientEvent' instead of triggerEvent.

How would this change anything? I'd be running two extra event's and server side that I don't even have to. triggerEvent works, and it defines the element you want to trigger the event on.. It's meant for local events. Meaning on server side triggerEvent will only trigger a server event, and on client side triggerEvent will only trigger a client event. So long as the event is defined. triggerEvent is working, but only for 1 client. Would I need to run triggerServerEvent and then triggerClientEvent just to trigger it for the other player?
