Basically, I have a GUI with a textbox, and in the textbox, you write the player’s name and then all the functions work on that specified player.
Currently I have:
for i,player in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
...
end
But it’s of course wrong, and I don’t know how to make it detect the player that was written in the TextBox
Just detect if the text written in the TextBox matches the players name
local TextBox = -- define it
for _,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name == TextBox.Text then
-- code
end
end
Oh wow, I tried doing that but for some reason it didn’t work, probably forgot something. Thank you!
for some reason, after a specified amount of time, it stops working
code:
TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("click")
for _,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name == TextBox.Text then
print(player)
WantedModule.Wanted(player)
end
end
end)
Code looks fine, try printing the contents of the textbox and see if it matches the player name
have u tried using string for the textbox?
It does match the name, seems very strange
String for textbox? never heard of it
if it passes the if statement, then ur wanted function is probably the one that broken
Nope, it does work if i activate it from my admin console
it can tho i mean why not give it a try
Does it pass the if statement? its also possible that your admin console actives the code on server, while the textbox actives the code locally
TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("click") -- it prints this
for _,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
print(player) -- it also prints this
if player.Name == TextBox.Text then
print(player) -- but it doesnt print this
WantedModule.Wanted(player, 150)
end
end
end)
print(player,TextBox.Text,player.Name==TextBox.Text) -- it also prints this
Rewrite the print before the if statement with thisprint and tell me what it outputs
It gives Retrofonik false
310chrs
local players = game:GetService('Players')
local textbox = script.Parent
textbox.FocusLost:Connect(function()
if textbox.Text ~= '' then
local chosenPlayer = players:FindFirstChild(textbox.Text)
if chosenPlayer then
--Handler
end
else
return
end
end)
local Textbox = where the textbox is
local Button = add a button as a Search thing
Button.MouseButton1Press:Connect(function()
for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if Player.Name = Textbox.Text then – because its not string, u have to be correct with capitalization
end
end
end)
based on the print it says you put 310crhs in the textbox?
no, its gives Retrofonik false
i wrote 310chrs to let the dev forum send me the message
lol i forgot focus lost was a function so i used a button as an activator
