(insert title here idk)

thanks

textbuttons can only be clicked on the client. Therefor, only the localplayer can click it.

#3

ClickDetectors however, you can detect when those are clicked on the server and get the player who clicked it.

#4

im aware, but is there anyway i can retrieve the character who clicks a textbutton?

#5

If a textbutton can only be clicked on the client, only the client’s user could click it, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

#6

I assume the script is inside the textbutton so I’ll do this

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()

end)

that will play when it is pressed, and the player will be game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer

yes, but that function doesnt store any of the player’s data, right? the only way i can think of retrieving the character of the player is by adding a parameter to the function you listed, but even then it only retrieves the player’s input, not anything related to the character.

game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer.Character

On the client you can ALWAYS refer to the player via game.Players.LocalPlayer and from there please refer to the (Dev Hub) player class/(New Documentation) Player | Roblox Creator Documentation

I somehow didn’t get your point the first time, thank you.
