Does Mouse Button One Click work the same way ClickDetector Does

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I Have scripted A ClickDetector so whenever a player clicks on a part In Takes away there currency then it gives them and ability this is the script It Just A Normal script Btw that I Used

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

if player.leaderstats.Points.Value >= 1000 then

player.leaderstats.Points.Value = player.leaderstats.Points.Value - 1000

– I gave the player a special ability here
end
end)

but If I Have A Text Button With A Script not a local script Inside and I typed This script…

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
if player.leaderstats.Points.Value >= 1000 then

player.leaderstats.Points.Value = player.leaderstats.Points.Value - 1000

– I gave the player a special ability here
end
end)

MouseButton1Click doesn’t return any arguments. Only ClickDetectors do.

Instead, you could try using RemoteEvents to do this.

Or you could use this tricky way of getting players straight from the server-sided script

-- Script
local Button = script.Parent.TextButton

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player") -- Get player that click the gui button
	if Player then
		print(Player.Name) -- Player that click the button
	end
end)

and if you want your point function to be implemented on the gui button then

-- Script
local Button = script.Parent.TextButton

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")
	if Player and Player.leaderstats.Points.Value >= 1000 then
		Player.leaderstats.Points.Value = Player.leaderstats.Points.Value - 1000
	end
end)

It is pretty similar

Oh yeah, forgot about :FindFirstAncestorOfClass. That would work as well.
