I have a TextBox in a SurfaceGui (in a part of course) in workspace. I want the input from the TextBox to be processed into a value and put in a ReplicatedStorage Value (instance).
I have tried SO many solutions - FocusLost, Events, Changed, LocalScript/Script and nothing seems to be working.
How would I do this?
If anything is unclear, please let me know!
Is there an error? what’s the current script?
So if i’m correct, you wanna convert text to value?
you can do tonumber(TextBox.Text) or tostring(TextBox.Text)
--number
local TextBox = -- path to textbox
local Value = -- path to ur value
TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(gp)
if gp then
Value.Value = tonumber(TextBox.Text)
end
end)
I think he wants to make the TextBox Text be put into a value
Worst thing that could happen - empty output logs unfortunately.
Well it depends on what type of value he is using.
Tried this earlier and just now, doesn’t work.
What is the type of Value you’re using
Considering you’re using a stringvalue
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local textBox = path_to_textbox
local value = ReplicatedStorage.Value
textBox.FocusLost:Connect(function()
value.Value = textBox.Text
end)
I’m using string value.
This one doesn’t work.
I’m wondering, since with normal TextBoxes in GUIs, you would use LocalScripts, what would I do here?
It can be a LocalScript, yeah but if you want the value to be replicated to the server use a RemoteEvent.
Maybe this will show more what I want to do.
Tried already aswell. Nothing seemed to be picked up or anything though. I placed a bunch of print functions all over but weirdly enough, there still were no in the output log.
Do you want anyone to edit this and it will be replicated to everyone or just the local client?
It’s a 1 player server, so doesn’t quite matter I think.
RemoteEvents don’t seem to work either.
What’s your script? can you share it?
Takes the Event (in ServerScriptService)
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlaneStats.Update
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(text)
game.ReplicatedStorage.PlaneStats.PlaneInfo.TailNumber.Value = tostring(text)
end)
Sends the Event (in the textbox in surfacegui)
local value = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlaneStats.PlaneInfo.TailNumber
local text = script.Parent.Text
script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function()
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlaneStats.Update:FireServer(text)
end)
Is your LocalScript in workspace? If so, it won’t run
I believe the SurfaceGui has to be in the PlayerGui (so you put it in StarterGui) in order for it to work. You then just have to set the adornee to the part you want, which can be done in the properties tab.
Note that you have to record the value of the textbox with a local script and send it to the server with a remote.
