HELP: QB-Target How to Pass Arguments

Please see my snippet below. This is not working, the arguments are not passing to the event. I am getting a nil for var2 and yes I know I can just send this straight to the ServerEvent however I was getting a nil there as well so I did it this way to troubleshoot. Does anyone know why my variables are not passing through qb-target? Local Multi is working the print above it is returning the correct value.

CreateThread(function()
    for k, v in pairs(Config.PrimeJewelSales.locations) do
        QBCore.Debug(v)
        print("Line6:jeweler = "..k)
        print("Line7:multiplier = "..v.multiplier)
        local multi = v.multiplier
        exports['qb-target']:AddBoxZone("JewellerySales"..k, vector3(v.coords.x, v.coords.y, v.coords.z), 1.2, 1.2, {
            name = "JewellerySales"..k,
            heading = v.coords.w,
            debugPoly = true,
            useZ = true,
            }, {
                options = { 
                {
                    type = "client", 
                    event = 'qb-jewelry:client:sellprimejewels',
                    args = {var1 = k, var2 = multi },
                    icon = 'fas fa-gem',
                    label = 'Sell Jewelry',
                }
            },
            distance = 1.5,
        })
    end
end)

RegisterNetEvent('qb-jewelry:client:sellprimejewels', function(jeweler,multiplier)
    print("Command Received from interaction name ="..jeweler.." multiplier ="..multiplier)
    TriggerServerEvent('qb-jewelry:server:sellPrime',jeweler,multiplier)

end)

qb-target triggers the event with a data object containing everything from event-type, label and also your custom Arguments.

As an example with your current code structure this would work:

RegisterNetEvent('qb-jewelry:client:sellprimejewels', function(data)
    local jeweler = data.args.var1 -- Returns: variable k
    local multiploer = data.args.var2 -- Returns: variable multi
    local event = data.event -- Returns: "qb-jewelry:client:sellprimejewels"
    local icon = data.icon  -- Returns: "fas fa-gem"

    print("Command Received from interaction name ="..jeweler.." multiplier ="..multiplier)
    TriggerServerEvent('qb-jewelry:server:sellPrime',jeweler,multiplier)

end)

conclusion: you really don’t need a args object, everything from the target option is delivered as one data object
