How can i get the player that clicked the SurfaceGUI button?

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name)
end)
  • i was surprised this did not work
    also, This is a Script inside a SurfaceGui inside a Part
  • i searched the Forum and all the sources i found only worked on LocalScripts
  • Local Scripts can’t operate on the server

Thanks for the help!

Set the adornee to the Part, and place the SurfaceGui in StarterGui

“Player” is referring to the button being pressed. You can get the player by using the PlayerAdded event.

lgame.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
Try adding the rest of your script inside the button click event. Remove the “Player” inside your MouseButton1Click event.

I put the SurfaceGui inside the StarterGui and set the Adornee to the part, works fine!
