I want to make something that copies a button and changes values depending on the textbox’s text but something super strange happened. The localscript cant read the text in a textbox. I made a print in the localscript but it just prints nothing.

The localscript:

local Input = script.Parent.Parent.input.Text
local Sample = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Sample.Button
local Event = script.RemoteEvent

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print(Input)
	Event:FireServer(Input)
end)

The script:

local Sample = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Sample.Button

script.Parent.LocalScript.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Plyr, Input)
	if Input then
		local Clone = Sample:Clone()
		Clone.Name = Input
		Clone.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ScrollingFrame
		Clone.Visible = true
		
		print(Input)
	end
end)

script.Parent.LocalScript.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Plyr, Input)

The Plyr parameter does not seem to be described in the :FireServer(Input) script.

Edit: Due to more knowledge I am reading from other posts this is not the issue as the Plyr parameter does not need to be described.

FireServer always gives the Player.

The player parameter isn’t needed on the localscript. But it is on the server script.

The text isn’t being updated this might be your issue.

local Input = script.Parent.Parent.input
local Sample = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Sample.Button
local Event = script.RemoteEvent

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print(Input.Text)
	Event:FireServer(Input.Text)
end)
