How do i mention the player itself?

No…That just stores the current text of the Textbox, you need to give it the textbox where you write the amount of speed to give to someone

#22

Let’s just place the LocalScript in the GuiObject for easier reference, and not inside the TextBox itself

What you’d wanna do, is assign your variables to where you want your specific TextBox’s to be

You’ll need to create another TextBox object inside your ScreenGui, but this one will handle the Speed to change the Target:

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SpeedEvent")
local GuiObject = script.Parent
local TargetBox = GuiObject.TargetBox
local SpeedBox = GuiObject.SpeedBox

TargetBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(PressedEnter)
    if PressedEnter then
        Event:FireServer(TargetBox.Text, SpeedBox.Text) --This will be passed onto the server to receive 
    end
end)
#23

Spelling mistake!

#24

Okay t h e n

You could also add a confirm button if you want to get a bit more fancy, I also just realized another mistake hold on

#25

What do you mean by that? Is it a Property? (My brain is fried)

#26

It’s literally an object that’s having to do with the Gui itself (Or what you have on your StarterGui objects)

(Examples: Frame, TextBox, ImageLabel)

#27

Oh so i put the LocalScript in the Frame?

#28

If the Frame is parented outside both the TextBox Objects, then yes

#29

The TextBoxes are parented in the Frame.

#30

That’s literally the same thing

Just put the LocalScript inside the Frame

#31

Oh thanks, now i just need to use tonumber becuase Text is a String.

#32

Oh no. How do i use tonumber? Becuase now it does nothing than setting the WalkSpeed to nil.

#33

Can I see the current script you’re using?

#34

local speedEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“SetSpeedEvent”)

speedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerWhoFired, TargetPlayer, Speed)
local player = game:GetService(“Players”):FindFirstChild(TargetPlayer)
if not player or not player.Character then
return
end
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = tonumber(Speed)
end)

(Sorry if it looks like this, but i don’t know where’s the LUA layout button!)

Anyways, maybe you can implement a couple of sanity checks?

local speedEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“SetSpeedEvent”)

speedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerWhoFired, TargetPlayer, Speed)
    print(Speed)

    local player = game:GetService(“Players”):FindFirstChild(TargetPlayer)
    if not player or not player.Character or typeof(Speed) ~= "string" then
        return
    end
    player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = tonumber(Speed)
end)
#36

Here’s what it gave me:

 19:09:16.905  Infinite yield possible on 'ServerStorage:WaitForChild("AdminPanel")'  -  Studio
  19:09:16.905  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  19:09:16.905  Script 'ServerScriptService.AdminPanelScript', Line 8  -  Studio - AdminPanelScript:8
  19:09:16.905  Stack End  -  Studio
  19:09:37.387    -  Server - SetSpeedScript:4

I think it’s a nothing.

#37

Hm

Try printing out the other variables as well, and see if they print out anything back?

#38

I don’t know if i made a mistake with the Script, but when i pressed enter while i was entering my Username, it printed this: 19:14:39.709 thatrandomnoob23 - Server - SetSpeedScript:5

#39

Yeah that’s supposed to happen, the script will detect if you’ve either left the TextBox via clicking off of it, or by pressing enter

Actually now that I think about it, I maybe know the reason why

Try creating 1 TextButton (Not a TextBox), this will be the confirmation button that what you want to send is valid

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SpeedEvent")
local GuiObject = script.Parent
local TargetBox = GuiObject.TargetBox
local SpeedBox = GuiObject.SpeedBox
local ConfirmButton = GuiObject.Confirm

ConfirmButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    Event:FireServer(TargetBox.Text, SpeedBox.Text) --This will be passed onto the server to receive 
end)

I believe what is happening is cause the script is only detecting for the TargetBox if it fires at all, when you should be confirming the action on both Texts to send to the server

#40

Same thing happens.
