how to fix this value not working , this line is in the serverscriptservice

local standneedtofind = playergui.StandNames.NameValue.Value

and i got a script inside the startergui localscript but no matter what the player type in the server it just showing the thing i type before i test

local value = script.Parent
while true do
	wait()
	value.Value = value.Parent.Text
end

Two major issues here.

  1. You’re trying to alter a value on the client in your LocalScript. This change will not be reflected on the server. I suggest you use RemoteEvents to communicate between the server and client. More information is provided in the following articles. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
    Roblox Client-Server Model
    RemoteEvent
  2. In your server script, you save the value of the standneedtofind at the time the script begins running and will not change when the value itself changes. Instead, you should save the value OBJECT in a variable and check its value.

Also, I suggest using event instead of loops for efficiency purposes.

Make sure to ask more questions if you have any. I only brushed the surface of these concepts, so please do ask!

i will show my full script this is just part of the script

local script

local value = script.Parent
while true do
	wait()
	value.Value = value.Parent.Text
end

this is the local script button that firethe server

local button = script.Parent
local frame = button.Parent

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Obtainment.AdminGetStand:FireServer()
end)

this is the replicatedstorage

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local serverstorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
rp.Obtainment.AdminGetStand.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local playergui = player.PlayerGui.AdminGui.AdminFrame
	print("ADMIN REQUESTED STAND  " .. player.Name)
	print(playergui.SkinName.NameValue.Value)
	print(playergui.StandNames.NameValue.Value)
	print(playergui.PlayerName.NameValue.Value)
	
	local playertofind = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(playergui.PlayerName.NameValue.Value)
	if playertofind then
		print(playertofind)
		print("PLAYER FOUNDED")
		local standneedtofind = playergui.StandNames.NameValue.Value
		local findstand = serverstorage.Stand:FindFirstChild(standneedtofind):Clone()
		if findstand then
			print(findstand.Name)
			print("STAND FOUNDED")
			local findtheskin = playergui.SkinName.NameValue.Value
			local findingskin = serverstorage.StandModel:FindFirstChild(standneedtofind):FindFirstChild(findtheskin):Clone()
			if findingskin then

				print("STANDSKIN FOUNDED")
				print(findingskin.Name)
				local Data = player:WaitForChild("PlrStats")
				local standvalue = Data:FindFirstChild("Stand")
				local skinvalue = Data:FindFirstChild("SkinName")
				if standvalue then
					if skinvalue then
						local playerchar = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(playertofind)
						print("CHECKING IS THIS A NPC?")
						if playerchar then
							print("HE IS REAL PLAYER")
							local standtogive = findstand:Clone()
							findstand.Parent = playerchar.Backpack

							print("ADMIN CHANGED DONE")
							standvalue.Value = findstand.Name
							skinvalue.Value = findingskin.Name
						end
					end
				end

			end
		end
	end
