How to change text of a BillboardGui when player submits change via UI

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I made a Booth where a Player can claim it as their own & they can edit it to their own preference. Add text to their own preference & also a Image. My main issue is that I can’t figure out how to actually apply the change or check if a player is typing in a textbox for instance and then change the text and apply it.

I also want to achieve the same concept but with a Image ID.

I’ll show my code below.

Any help will be appreciated. :grin:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local BoothEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BoothEvent
local BoothGui = game.StarterGui.BoothGui
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerBoothGui = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("BoothGui")


BoothEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	PlayerBoothGui.Enabled = true
	
	local CloseButton = PlayerBoothGui.Frame.CloseButton
	CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if PlayerBoothGui.Enabled == true then
			PlayerBoothGui.Enabled = false
			print("Closed Successfully")
		end 
		
		local SubmitButton = PlayerBoothGui.Frame.SubmitButton
		local TextBox = PlayerBoothGui.Frame.Frame.TextBox
		local Booth = game.Workspace.Booth.BillboardGui.TextGui2
		SubmitButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			if TextBox ~= "" then
				
			else
				print("You have to type something")
			end
			
		end)
		
	end)
	
end)

print("BoothEvent fired Successfully")

I believe in any gui object that can hold text there is a .Text Property.

This wouldn’t work because you defined your variable as a Instance.

Try adding to your TextBox variable .Text

But how do I check if a Player is typing in the textbox and then whatever they typed there would be changed in a TextLabel that’s displayed in a part.

You will need to send it to the server with RemoteEvents and then filter the text.

I wrote something here it still can’t figure out how to actually make it change the text

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BoothEvent
local BoothGui = game.StarterGui.BoothGui
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerBoothGui = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("BoothGui")

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	PlayerBoothGui.Enabled = true
	PlayerBoothGui.Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0
	
	local SubmitButton = PlayerBoothGui.Frame.SubmitButton
	local CloseButton = PlayerBoothGui.Frame.CloseButton
	local BoothText = game.Booth.SurfaceGui.FrameGui.TextGui.Text
	
	CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if PlayerBoothGui.Enabled == true then
			PlayerBoothGui.Enabled = false
			 
			game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, BoothText) 
				ChatService:FilterStringForBroadcast(BoothText, player)
				
				
				-- How do I now change booth text in here

			end)

		end 
	end)
	
	print("RemoteEvent fired Successfully")
end)
