Assigning an additional parameter to a bindable callback?

I’m making a ;help system for a game that makes use of Roblox’s SendNotification CoreGUI feature. The way it works is that every time a player in-game requests a moderator with the ;help command, the server fires to each moderator’s client that lets the SendNotification CoreGUI pop-up with the stated reason and the player username.

Functionality with the pop-up has been established, but my issue lays in how I’ll pass on the player who requested onto the BindableFunction.

bindable.OnInvoke = function(response)
	if response == "Teleport" then
		local targetCharacter = currentRequest.Character;
		local endCf = targetCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame;
		endCf += (endCf.LookVector * 2);

		character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = endCf;
	end
end

helpEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr, reason)
	reason = reason or "No reason provided.";
	
	
	currentRequest = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plr);
	local playerIcon, ready = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(
		currentRequest.UserId, 
		Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, 
		Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size48x48);
	
	local timeout: number = 0;
	
	repeat game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Wait(); timeout += 0.5; until ready or timeout > 550;
	
	starterGui:SetCore("SendNotification", {
		Title = plr,
		Text = reason,
		Icon = playerIcon,
		Duration = 20,
		Callback = bindable,
		Button1 = "Teleport",
		Button2 = "Ignore"
	})
end)

This is my code above, and my temporary workaround at the moment is assigning the latest ;help request to a currentRequest variable, but this isn’t gonna work well if, for example, two or three players ;request at once. If someone clicks ‘Teleport’ on the ;help request of a player, it’ll instead teleport the moderator to the latest requester, but what if the request they accepted was the person before? While it’s a minor inconvenience, it’s still something I’m looking to fix.

To answer your question, no, you cannot assign properties to the SetCore “SendNotification.” But you can run your process differently to run how you want.

For me, I run the code as such,

  1. (SERVER) TextChatService detects a message being sent. Checks if message is
    “;help”.
  2. (SERVER) Perform debounce to prevent spamming
  3. (SERVER) Run a pcall “local Succes, Reponse” and Invoke moderators clients
  4. (CLIENT) helpEvent.OnClientEvent runs and returns “Teleport” or “Ignore”
  5. (SERVER) pcall returns the response “Teleport” or Ignore"
  6. (SERVER) if response == “Teleport” then

OR

starterGui:SetCore("SendNotification", {
	Title = plr,
	Text = reason,
	Icon = playerIcon,
	Duration = 20,
	Callback = function()
		
-- can access your local variables from above
		
	end,

	Button1 = "Teleport",
	Button2 = "Ignore"
})

Wouldn’t the callback need a BindableFunction? I originally tried using a function first but from what I recall it didn’t work because it needs a BindableFunction

I’ll try out a RemoteFunction as well, though. Completely forgot that was in the equation
