#1

I am trying to figure out what player clicked the UI button, I am using MouseButton1Up, I am also using GetPlayerFromCharacter to get the player but i need in the () what clicked the button

I am trying to pop up the purchase premium UI but I don’t know what player clicked the button

I have looked it up I found a post similar but I didn’t find it useful to my topic

If it is a gui element then the person that clicked the button will be always game.Players.LocalPlayer

I find that that is not working for me for some reason here is some of the code

premiumBuy.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(player)

I have also tried

premiumBuy.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
print(player)

it prints nil for the player both ways

Is this a script? If it is a script then it will always print nil. Try that in a local script

Don’t use scripts for GUIs, use local scripts, just remember that LocalPlayer doesn’t work in scripts, it will always print in serverside.

if you want to do this on the server side then do it with RemoteEvent

how would this be done using a Server Sided Script for surface guis? i understand this may not be recommended but it is more efficient for my script

is there any more efficient ways that doesent require communicating to the client?
