How do you get the text from a textbox

#1

I am trying to get the value of a textbox so I can input it into color3 and change the color of a brick

local brick = game.Workspace.Part

local red = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.R --these are the text boxes
local green = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.G
local blue = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.B


function Bread(Player)

	local gamepassid = 11042304
	local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
	 if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId,gamepassid) then
		
		brick.Color = Color3.fromRGB(red.Text,green.Text,blue.Text) print(red.Text,green.Text,blue.Text)
			
	else
		
		print("No gamepass detected... Prompting Purchase") 
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(Player,gamepassid) 
	end
	
	
	
	
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Bread)

put


local red = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.R
local green = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.G
local blue = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.B

into the function so that it can get the updated text, not the default text.

that still returns the text as " " and it sets the color3 value to 0,0,0

You need to get it from the player’s PlayerGui, not the StarterGui. You can just use the Text property to read the colors.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local brick = game.Workspace.Part

local red = playerGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.R
local green = playerGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.G
local blue = playerGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.B

function Bread(Player)

	local gamepassid = 11042304
	local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId,gamepassid) then
		brick.Color = Color3.fromRGB(red.Text,green.Text,blue.Text) 
		print(red.Text,green.Text,blue.Text)
	else
		
		print("No gamepass detected... Prompting Purchase") 
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(Player,gamepassid) 
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Bread)

In, “brick.Color = Color3.fromRGB(red.Text,green.Text,blue.Text)” You’re getting the string, try converting it to a number with tonumber()

Example:

local red = tonumber(game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.R.Text)
local green = tonumber(game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.G.Text)
local blue = tonumber(game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ColorPicker.B.Text)
...

brick.Color = Color3.fromRGB(red,green,blue)

Do game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.mygui instead of using StarterGui.
